Relax
Paul's Unofficial Remix Challenge
your eyes feel heavy
your whole being feels safe and heavy
heavier now
and heavier still
you feel the needless weight of stress
lifting gently off your shoulders
releasing effortlessly from your jaw
all tensions and concerns are gently leaving the space behind your eyes
you are relaxed
free, calm, tranquil, smiling
breathing
floating, exhaling all that is no longer needed,
floating above the tranquil deep blue lake
floating up into the warm, soft caress of clouds like cotton
comfortable in your skin, and in your life, and with your choices
you are at peace
peace lives within you
you are free once more to be a believer in trust,
in yourself -- your beautiful deserving self
*
you are
happier than you have been
in far too long
*
you are at one with yourself, your many selves
*
you are ready now
to open your eyes anew --
but keep eyes closed just a moment longer --
for this one perfect moment, be still
be in it
be free
feel free
know your self with the permission you need from none but you
you are
at peace
floating effortlessly
breathing
grateful
happy
*
when I count back down from 3, to 2, to 1, your eyes may open
and you will
remember
yourself
and all the love
surrounding you
rising up to welcome you
home

No Plus One
It's nearly one AM and I just got back from my third wedding of the four in this last month alone, and I have always been alone. I hide behind my camera to pretend to be useful, hide behind a safety net of skill set. So I do not have to confront the loneliness that is sleeping alone when everyone else seems to have a partner to crawl into bed with. I love the time spent with those who decided I was worth the 30-plus dollars per plate they decided to spend on me, and I do not need to have a partner on these occasions, but it would be nice to have someone notice, me. See when I am in the corner because they know I need time to recharge and to kiss me on the head until the time has come to leave. Maybe that's the problem about being a professional storyteller, I dream of something that isn't meant for me.
