From his pen ...

Fireworks. In the night sky, lighting up the aura, the physical manifestation of that energy, through light.

Seeing face, after face, after face...

...was that her?

The anticipation warmed his soul into a whirlwind of focused searching.

It was this night, they would meet for the first time, not in the traditional meaning thought.

The festival with the massive thousands, all with their hearts beating in unison. More than a concert, they would all witness a meeting of two spirits who finally will dance together in circular symmetry.

"The Mantra," she says.

"The Mantra?" says Love.

"Yes..

I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
I love you.
Thank you."

"No, not like that, don't say it to me. Say it for yourself . It's more genuine and meaningful if you yourself believes in it."

Even with closed eyes, he can feel her. The vibe, the frequency, in complete sync with each other.

It began with a rebirth of Love, an emergence of a new world, introduced through the purest of emotions, the purest, most high state of being ...

Joy.

Here, Love finds Proof that Joy is revealed if truly and earnestly wished for.

The glass shatters.

Whimsical thoughts then suddenly focus like a lit beam, a connection between Love and Joy. The first.

"What do you think that means?" says Love

Joy replies with absolute confidence and faith.

"It brings attention to this moment."

The Moment. The concept of the moment. At this moment, Love sees for the first time.

Love has never been so drawn to an energy, so driven by feeling.

The universes says to Love, though:

"Not yet."

To be continued . . .

*The story of how we came to be ... the most beautiful valentine's day gift. ♥

my beau's in the band ...

My partner is the bassist in an amazing band, name to-be-determined, but we'll call them sunsetter (one of the options). They have been working their tails off rehearsing for the last 6 months and are just about done recording their first album. This past Friday (02/04/11), they had their first show at the Tiki bar in Costa Mesa, Ca. The show was a huge success and they had so much support from friends and family. Sunsetter has an indescribable sound; an eclectic mix of reggae & rock. Stay tuned for their shows to come!

Infinitely.

"Lord make me an instrument of thy PEACE where there is Hatred, let me sow LOVE where there is Injury, PARDON where there is Error, TRUTH where there is Discord, HARMONY where there is Doubt, FAITH where there is Despair, HOPE where there is Darkness, LIGHT and where there is Sorrow, JOY."

Trains.

Two weekends ago I was able to finally take my little nephew, Kingston, on a miniature train ride at the park I live near. It only runs once a month so it's been difficult to catch. But King enjoyed it very much! It never seizes to amazes me how much happiness is brought to you through making a loved one, especially a child, happy. I can't even begin to imagine how that will feel once I have my own children. I definitely recommend taking the kiddos to wilson park for this free ride if you're in the southbay area.

admiration.

My mother told me one day that she doesn't understand how some people can say that they love their grand children more than their own children. How can you love someone/something more than your own child? The child you have conceived, carried and delivered into this world. The most precious treasure God could bless us with. I told her maybe it's not that people love their grand children more but they do so with more ease because they no longer have to face the challenges and obstacles that come along with raising a child. I believe that sometimes life gets the best of people. Life (e.g.societal norms & such) intrudes our every being and obscures our view of things. Even, precious things like our children. My concluding thought: nobody loves their grand children more than their own children it just seems that way. They simply love easier and with lighter eyes because they don't have all the societal pressure built up around them any longer. With that thought my mother said this "she definitely loves Kingston, her grandson, but loves Jesse, her son, more and loves Jesse even more watching him love Kingston.

I feel I completely captured the essence of this statement, accidentally that is, in this photo.

My brother, Jesse, admiring his son, Kingston, while my mother is admiring him, while her boyfriend, Ken, is admiring her admiring Jesse admiring Kingston.

A small project.

It started with a source of inspiration: A beautiful rose-like succulent given to me as a gift from the boyfriend, Aubrey.
