Back To The Future

"Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth. "Proverbs 27:1

A hail and lightening storm lit up the already electrified city tonight and struck a chord in me.

Spent my day marveling at an old role model, Alex P. Keaton fight the dominance of his debilitating disease and still manage to gracefully work his craft; His seemingly lifelong passion one day at a time.

It seems as though everyone I meet these days is on their own creative master path they have designed and sought after attentively, without ceasing.

My brain as of late uses a rack focus and even my worship is cut short.

I know what I've done.

So, without repeating my mantra of "What am I going to do with my life?" found scribbled in countless journals, I'll hum this prophetic diddy, watch the raindrops, and feel the peace that resides between yesterday and tomorrow.

This Broadways got...

Its got a lot of songs to sing.

If I knew the tunes I might join in.

Ill go my way alone...

Grow my own, My own seeds shall be sown in New York City!

Do you think drivel is my Plutonium?

Living Large

"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised." Hebrews 10:36

Like talking about Him everyday...

No, New York hasn't run its course, but if one more liberal New York writer comments on the xenophobic, bigoted, and racist resurgence bubbling up within the rising hot Tea Party, I will sandblast them with the very version of the spew they spill in the name of NARROW FOCUS.

Primaries speak volumes and don't they say the cream rises to the top?

If you believe what you're told by the ONE form of media you switch on, that's your problem.

"But you went there knowing you would have to take all that came with living in New York City." My Mama

Today, I will gladly forfeit the romantasy (just coined it) of the perfect Manhattan world I molded with my play dough and young mind.

Never mind I endure an embittered and sheltered woman's aggravated authority bludgeoning condescending reprimands down on me while screaming in my face not to stand up for myself or what's right before she draws deeply on her secret cigarettes.

I'll just allow the cold bourbon to soothe my wounds and let the weather coming in blow up my skirt and lift my spirits.

After all, she was in New York City and that's all that mattered...

Is torture a means to an end?

Star Crossed Crazy

"Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up." Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

My husband received a handwritten note from our Yoga Instructor, upstairs neighbor the other night. It was taped to our apartment door with a patchouli scented business card attached.

It read...

"I am so sorry if I disturbed you last night with ALL my commotion. I was gargling and I passed out on the floor. I hope the noises didn't bother you."

I have to hand it to the gal...the days are getting shorter and colder and its high time to think about hunkering down.

Just not with my man.

Ohhhhhhhhh....

It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain

Dreamers with empty hands
They sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
Its autumn in New York
It's good to live it again.

Do relationships make it easier to take on tomorrow?

"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." 1 Peter 5:10

Goldilocks reads old blog archives and says, "She wrote way too much."

Goldilocks skims her most recent posts and says, "She doesn't write nearly enough."

Goldilocks Googles anonymous inspirational quotes and says, "Ahh, this is just right."

The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places. ~

Don't be discouraged. It's often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock. ~

I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday. ~

Since New York puts its best foot forward in the Fall, I will attempt to follow suit and stay a spell longer and write a little deeper.

What sticks to something until it gets there?

*A Stamp

Thousands of impatient New Yorkers stand stranded in the rain at La Guardia tonight...much to their dismay by the lack of yellow taxis.

I stand with them dumbfounded.

It's Ramadan at rest and rather obvious who is driving this town.

Power to the peaceful...

Not striking matches

And never forgetting the fallen. >>
