did you see
the blood moon?
we've been enjoying watching cosmos, especially the episode
'a sky filled with ghosts'..
i'm still haunting.. but these days i'm hanging around the lost & found >link over there>
there are a bunch of new dollscapes in the gallery quarantine area since i last posted..
the song for the day is from nick drake ~
falling fast and falling free
you look to find a friend
talling fast and falling free
this could just be
the end
falling fast you stoop to touch
and kiss the flowers that bend
and you're ready now
for the harvest breed..
ghost at the gate
song for the day is from midlake ~
rulers, ruling all things
i have been cruel & kind
without knowing
i fell into silence
overwhelmed by these days
for i have been shown empty rulers
ruling all things
thinking the world was mine
to lay hold of
i breathed in
the promise of maiden & man
but each had their own illusions
to hold onto
i only want
to be left to my own ways
the rulers have won
leaving all things undone
i've stood in awe
of the whole creation
gathered among them is
the morning giving all its rest
thinking the world was mine
to be lost in
i ran with the freedom
& sang in between
for i had the path of wonder
there before me
i only want
to be left to my own ways
the rulers have won
leaving all things undone
i've stood in awe of
the whole creation
gathered among them was
the morning giving all its rest
i only want to be left to
my own ways..

midlake again ~
i untied all the ropelines
i gathered our things
& placed them beside me
you never arrived
& i got worried
you never arrived
& i was troubled
but you were bound to leave
& so i crumbled
you should steer
the seats are warm
on this boat
come on & hurry
move your feet
down the shore
that winter had a hold on
& we'll pass by
for the last time
we'll pass by
for the last time..

really good talk here regarding the often excruciating experience of therapy for those of us who are insecurely attached..

when i look at how people really are i am relieved to count myself among the freaks & outcasts..
remember the dolly for sue, not all the misfits are apparent..

hey it's halloween..
seawolf again ~
dear fellow traveler
under the moon
i saw you standin' in the shadows
& your eyes were blue
you put your hand out
opened the door
you said come with me boy
i want to show you something more
you spoke my language
& touched my limbs
it wasn't difficult to pull me
from myself again
& in our travels
we found a rose
you held it like a mirror
showing me the life i chose
& i'll return to my beautiful city
black skies changed into blue
& my love is so wise & so pretty
but some nights i still
dream of you..
dear fellow traveler
under the moon
i think i'm growing weary
& i'm hopin' you'll come soon
& if i see you in clean new clothes
i hope you'll hold the mirror up
to show me what i chose
& i'll return to my beautiful city
black skies changed into blue
& though my love is so wise & so pretty
some nights i'll still
dream of you..
& i know you're out there
in the shadows
i know you're out there
in the shadows
i know you're out there
in the shadows..
dear fellow traveler
underneath the moon..

winter is here & although i love the cold & i'm accustomed to my solitary life with just my guys & kitties, this time the isolation is feeling rather intense. it's too freezing to venture out in the east wind, even the toyroom downstairs is too cold to spend much time in. i have sick & fragile old lady kitties to take care of & to keep warm. i'm not so different from them.. i have no other connections.
the trees are swaying..
