Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah.
And the more of it all is,
within.

I'm back to work.
A bonafide well paid Ward Clerk in the true sense of the word.
Papers and papers and papers.
It occurs to me that ward clerks really are the caretakers of the caretakers. That this approach goes a long long way, and it is satisfying!
I'm also still working a little at the co-op. I like it there.

I miss Stella very much, and I'm talking way beyond the conventional doubts that plague me regarding her living with her Dad.
She seems very happy and is doing well.
Her happiness is always my meter and I know the tone of it in her very well.

I feel smack dab at the horizen of glumness and glee.

You've sounded so happy talking about the co-op...so I'm glad you have it lingering between the glum and glee. Caretaker of caretakers and a mommy missing her baby...are you singing again?

I'm glad you have the co-op. May everything else come together and co-operate in establishing that sanctuary corner people dream about.

H,

Soak in and cherish the glee when you find it. Let it fill your heart...when the glum comes around, tap into the stored glee in your heart........

good news!!

I feel smack dab at the horizen of glumness and glee.

I'm going to steal this line and use it as my signature. Thanks!

((((hugs)))) hest.... i know you miss Stella... I'm happy to hear about the job.

i think peevette's advice is good... but applying it is the trick. I've never had a whole lotta luck with that myself. Once I hit glum, glum it is until I dig myself outa the quicksand. Takes some doing. I usually use a spoon.

much love to ya, lady!

Sing! OK?... voice of an angel you have... that will take you to glee.

[hester_prynne]

whadda nice thread..thank you youse guys and goils.
worked all weekend...today off, feeling the glee over the glum after a long talk with Stella on the phone...she's doing splendidly.

enjoying time off....didn't even get dressed until 2pm.
stuffing my head full of media lies.
stretching my composure towards a calm, patient belief and faith in goodness.
It's really fucking hard to do......

there's somehting about 'gl..' words that make them fun to play with, even the down part.
so i'm glad that glee is nigh (nigh is also cool)
a phone call brings a sweet cheek so close that the warmth permeates the soul, even if tears follow. (or is that me i'm talking about again)

Congratulations on multi-jobbing. love the getting dressed at 2 motif.
love you, t

gl... hmmmmmmm....

interesting that glum and glee would both start with a "gl"

"gl" means "good luck" on the scrabble boards.

gl to you, hest~!
and gleeeeee and glaaaadness!

a phone call brings a sweet cheek so close that the warmth permeates the soul, even if tears follow

a phone call brings a
sweet cheek so complete
with warmth, permeated by
tear-stained sheets, pillowed
with the translation of
wish and need, the job
to intercede with an embrace,
each taste of a hug as dear
as a clear chime!

hello? hello?
are you there?
please come here, my dear,
but know it is ok because you can't.

hello? hello?
this is the recant of wonder,
thunder of a storm, the percussive
beat.

repeat repeat repeat
one minute to the next.
sweet cheek's glee and a kiss
of love presented.... momma
heaven spent smack dab in the
middle of
life.

It's really fucking hard to do......

And you're finding the energy to try nevertheless?

Let me know if you ever wanna try:

We'll figure out the time difference,
and you can go
with all the that-edge S8ers
stand on the Pacific shore
and face West
and I'll go
with all the this-edge S8ers
and stand on the Atlantic shore
and face East
(and Judih can go to the Mediterranean
and Arcadia and Perdida can represent the Southern Hemisphere
and Bennie can go to the North Sea or wherever
and Anemone on the Rhine
and the middle folks can hit the lakes or the Mississippi...)
and we'll all start singing
simultaneously
infinite-part harmonies
to hip-hop/zydeco/klezmer/glam rock ballads
and trust the sailwinds for a composure
toward a calm,
patient belief
and faith
in goodness.

it´s a good idea

I have faith that it´s always a way between temporary autism or alienation and something like flowing pro-active positive thought/action. Songs & voices!!, why not?
