Run To Me

Run To Me

Don't run from Me but to Me

Don't go but yet draw near

Don't hide your face now from Me

Don't look on Me in fear.

Don't shout "Oh, God!" in anger

But call My name in love

Don't think I do not see you there

From where I live above.

Every day of your life is an integrity test

To see what character you build

You can't win the game by exalting your name

But only when to Me do you yield.

I have only such good thoughts about you

I have only true love for your soul

I have much success and so much I will bless

If you make serving Me your one goal.

My child, don't turn your back on Me

In this world of hate and harms

I wait to heal your aching heart

When you run into My arms.

All That We Are

SAFE ANYMORE.....a love story

Falling To Pieces

Safe Anymore

I heard someone say recently,

An actress actually, that I've always liked

Without really knowing why

But someone asked her to tell them what love is

And I held my breath

And was amazed at her answer

As tears sprang to my eyes and rolled down my cheeks.

(I've cried more in the last two months than I have in years)

But my tear reservoir seems to be inexhaustible

 And is filled to overflowing

And it doesn't take much now to break that dam in me

But what she said, after some thought, was this:

"I think love is feeling safe with someone."

And I realized that her observation 

Was so very true and so very simple

 That no one could argue or misunderstand.

And I realized that "feeling safe"

Was what made me love you and what made me feel loved

For that's what I felt until just yesterday

I felt safe, understood, cared for... and loved

In ways I've never felt before with anyone else.

Understood for the first time

 In my whole life,

Appreciated  for all the nuances

 And layers of me

The core and the complexities  

And the compartments of me.

Until you pulled the rug out from under my heart

And in the falling, my eyes flew open

And I saw that I didn't really know who you were

And that most evidently........

You didn't know me

Or understand or appreciate who I truly am

So how could you love me?

It was a revelation almost beyond the bearing,

Heartbreaking, torturous...getting slapped in the face

Murdered after being made to feel so alive

Alive in your eyes, your kiss, and your arms

In every word spoken and every line written

And I could not and do not feel alive anymore.

How can I?

Nothing is real or realistic
 Nothing clearcut or hardset or firm

Nothing is etched in stone like I thought

Nothing is tangible or without doubt, confirmed

The beauty of the bloom has faded,

The melody of our song, gone quite off key

The prose has become just long strings of words

Images once real, ghostly things I can't see.

I wonder if someday I'll forget how it was

How I felt taken for granted and alone one sad night

And to my amazement, you sent me a song

That told me you loved me and would never do that

(And I cried for hours at that gesture so sweet)

'Cause it was so beautiful, like an answer to prayer

And I felt how in tune and connected we were. 

And how just out of nowhere

In some wondrous way

When I expected it least and needed it most....

There you were on the other side of the world

Across the mountains, and the deep sea of blue

Sending a message.....with the words....... 

I see you.

You will never know how happy that made me

How cherished I felt, how safely secure

You'll never know

Because now, what can I say?

You took the joy and the sunshine away

You were my friend and my love to adore

But I no longer feel loved or safe anymore.

Forgive Me

Clara...A Must See Film!!! One of the most touching awesome things I've ever seen!!!!

You can rent it on YT or watch it on CRACKLE channel

Clara soundtrack

Girl From the North Country by Dylan

It's Time To Go Home

I just got through watching this unheard of movie on Crackle as I am lying

here trying to get better from various physical and emotional things and I was

absolutely astounded by the entire thing, from the script to the actors to the

soundtrack. I must admit that I cried through the whole movie and didn't know

why until I realized that in so many ways, this is me, my story, the story of  "the story"

I just lived through with my own Issac. I am Clara in so many ways.  You would

have to really know me and what I've been struggling with for four years to understand

that. All my life, really. But the last four years have been the most intense, debilitating,

heartbreaking, beautiful and unbearable years of my life. Which is saying a lot as my

whole life has been difficult and mostly unbearable. All I can say is...you've GOT to 

see this film!!!! It is different from what you think it is, it's unique, funny, romantic,

spiritual, moving, exciting and mind expanding. Take my word for it. And think of me as you watch it. Clara is so me.....Voo in more ways than you can imagine.  I even have the same "rock" collection!!!!Just watch it!!!

Saying Goodbye To Yesterday Song and Message

Dear Friends and Readers...
I am going to have to take a break from this blog.
I am posting new stuff to keep you reading
but I need to recuperate. Last Friday I got caught
out in the cold pouring rain which I can never do
anymore due to a compromised immune system
and I have gotten pneumonia or something of
the sort. Having trouble breathing , etc.
I have some things coming up that I am preparing for
and need to take extra care of myself in light of that.
I don't have covid 19 but some of the symptoms
are very similiar to that....so...
If you hear I have passed away from complications
due to covid 19...Do Not Believe it!!!! They are tagging 
that diagnosis onto everything now no matter what you
have but don't believe it. Also, blogspot is changing
their format and themes, etc and this blog may get
totally messed up. I have no idea what the changes entail
but I will be working on that and keeping abreast of that too.
I will still check in with mewe occasionally so I won't be totally
gone. Perhaps, I'll even start back on Warriors of the Way
and Aachoo Voo, Private Eye and finish those books for the 
fans out there pleading for me to do so.
I've had lots of changes in my life lately and I hate change!
(Well, most of the time)
But this one leaves me no choice. Keep reading, keep commenting.
There are many, many pages here that have never been visited.
Just keep looking.
Thank you all for your cherished friendships! Pray for me!

End of the Road
