what a cool journal entry! i am sorry i haven't been by in awhile. i get in these ridiculously uncommunicative states.
this entry is really really beautiful though. as pema chodron says:
"What we're always doing is that which will help to uncover the essence of the bodhi heart and bodhi mind. That what's basic is basic goodness, or the essence of the bodhi heart and mind the genuine heart and the open fresh quality of mind. That's what's basic. These obscurations that we make such a big deal about, they are temporary. "
O.k., so I'm being a little dramatic. Had a more than unbelievable time admiring her on Friday with a very positive response. She was bartending (and it was packed) when my honey got to chat with her a little. Later she got away from the bar and actually came over to our table to say Hi... Read More
Sex Without Love
by Sharon Olds (one of my favorites)
How do they do it, the ones who make love
without love? Beautiful as dancers,
gliding over each other like ice-skaters
over the ice, fingers hooked inside each other's bodies,
faces red as steak, wine, wet as the
children at birth whose mothers are going to
give them away. How do... Read More
I've been following that thread (and just joined in, actually) and I just wanted to say "good for you!" You only live once.
And kudos to your understanding husband. I was excited and happy for my wife, but also a little nervous and uneasy about the possibilities, when she found herself interested in another woman.

I could not turn away this afternoon when they started showing pictures of floating dogs. Nice...
I've been compiling a list (inside my head) of all the reasons that would... Read More
I think you're pics are small because you're just linking the thumbnail of each one. Try going into your pics and clicking on the thumbnail, then link the full sized picture.
I am walking on clouds right now...almost literally. Well...
Getting my monroe was really a nice experience. Went to Sub-Q in downtown sacramento and would highly recommend them--especially for a first time. Really cute piercing chick who was really thorough with the cleaning and care lecture. My husband said I didn't even flinch. It's only a mild discomfort right now, and it's been about 5... Read More
It was sad. It looked like they were all infatuated with her, and then somebody said to her, "Oh, that's just a joke." Which kind of made everything worse!
So my husband and I are going downtown tomorrow night to add some character to my face.
After that I'm trying to get up the nerve to check out my new crush at a restaurant close by. She's been our waitress twice and I've been struck dumb by her satisfied smirk. I've got to work on my game...
