The kind of saving that doesnt pay

There is a kind of saving up
that will never pay out

Like the hoarding of metal

Hours of collecting
until it is a big ugly rusty heap
and you'll go to cash in the whole lot
and it wont be worth one hours work
let alone all that space you gave up
and the eyesore it created to keep it

So why do you do it?
and keep justifing that it was free?
when the time you invested into it
doesnt justify your energy?

Like a bad relationship
that subtracts and takes away over time
there is less and less of you
able to give
because you spent all that time
enduring

Putting up with lesser than
will drain you of what you are able to give
will rob you of time that could be spent
building an empire of good
able to benefit a multitude

Fine tune and prioritize,
clean house and sweep it out
discover treasure you did not even know you had
while keeping only what creates delight 

Use your time wisely,
for it is fleeting

No messes and drama ,
for they steal precious moments
that become far too few

Take my hand and begin a work
that pays you back my friend,
I fine investment that pays
in the end.

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

The Giant

You are a giant and you've scooped me up little ol ' me up into your giant laced fingers you've caught me like I would catch a butterfly or a lightning bug but unlike me & the critters I catch you've no intention of letting me go again I am a prize you want to keep even if we will never connect in the conventional ways even if the life you make with me will never make sense or feel complete always a disconnect... fear keeps you holding on control, makes you hold on to me against my will and selfishness it robs you why all the while you call it gain little ol ' me I was never meant to fulfill big ol ' you was never meant to entertain you & keep you company at the expense of losing a life of my own where someone can hold me and with my own size eyes, look into my soul where I can lay my head on his chest and where a same sized heart is beating, softly evenly, for me YOUR heart is a massive drum! it keeps me awake it overwhelms the room like an earth quake.
