I'm so glad Obama won - I am oh so hopeful for the USA
Life is difficult lately, by my definition of difficult
although in some other places I am wealthy and blessed
even in my head I know this to be true but pardon me
if I'm feeling a little down today, and a little self pity
I'll allow myself a half a day perhaps, then buck up and
get on with it - nothing is so hard in my life to give up for
Tracy Chapman is a gentle soul with songs to make one feel
anger, love, joy and sorrow - but mostly her melodic voice
does set me to a place of happy freedom - perhaps I'll listen
and be enlightened as I usually am with music, poetry and my
friend Susan's stories. I should be ashamed of feeling sorry for
myself, but some days I just want to run away from it, though
I won't - cause then I'd miss the very thing I'm running from.
Besides - I'll take me with me - funny - there really is none
escape
I saw a movie last night and it's left me feeling heavy
with sadness; I seem to just want to cry in my lover's arms,
but I have to work today - The Secret Life of Bees it's
called - excellent movie, and very sad.
