3 rabbits

walking


crying


lost inside


wishing I was lost outside too


so I didn't have to go back


cannot stand to be shunned


or beheld with disdain


scrutinized


criticized


you are not my friend


friends do not say the things you do


they say truth in love


they don't hate the very things


that make you, YOU


I feel torn down


rejected once again


why do you spend any time with me at all


if who I am repels you


if who I am annoys you


I don't belong here


I don't belong anywhere


this in between life


after divorce




still walking


2 miles


3 miles


I have on the wrong shoes


stood up and just started walking


so I wouldn't cry for an audience


1/2 a mile in I see a rabbit


then 2 miles later another


and not until I saw the third at the end of my walk


did it come together for me




the Trinity


watching over me


the night before Easter


as I walked


as I cried


He sees me


He cares

and he wonders

from the backseat I hear a little voice ask "Mommy what is your name?" It is so neat that he wonders this out of the blue... "Christie" I say "Oh, Christie, I like that name" "Thanks Bud, I like your name too!" "Daddy and I got to pick your name!" So for the first time this little man who is so grown up already says my name calls me something other than Mommy and the significance of that hangs in the air my baby becomes a boy in that moment. ~C

Gut Feeling

I noticed how often I go by the FEEL of something, or the Feel of a situation, or maybe I should say how I feel about it, I go by FEELING through it. Some would say they just had a "gut feeling" about something, that is what I am getting at. Some times I cannot even explain why a certain situation I am in, or even time with a certain person does not feel right, it just doesn't. It is like oil and water in a glass, and I can shake it up from time to time to make it feel right for a short time, but then it will go back to being divided, unable to resist it's true nature in my life. It wasn't meant to be for me, and I feel that, while it is being revealed to me. Most of the time I fight these gut feelings, but it is futile most of the time, because there is a sense of unrest in me when I resist. A subtle off-throwing of what I usually do. If I am honest with myself and I stand back, I can see that I am avoiding acknowledging it, The thing or situation or the relatio

finding you in everything

Sometimes I write what I want to be said to me what I'd like to hear what I imagine to be true what I need or desire from you Sometimes I daydream I wonder if I'll ever... I imagine my forever and it's nice to see it on paper even if it never comes true, with you And sometimes I sing sing the songs that remind me repeat the lyrics that tend to haunt me words conveying feelings that I have felt too, for you Sometimes I close my eyes and see you in my mind sleep and dream an adventure we may never have together but keep all the same close to my heart This concentration of my imagination, my voice, my pen that finds you... in everything ~C
