something set in to me. a feeling i have experienced before but this much, so strong, not in awhile. i left the house alitttle bit ago only to fid myself with no navigational site. i basically, with the widows down went around -litteraly- my little cornerof the word. i found a long lost cd i burned who knows how long ago…there were only 7 tracks..it began with ‘Both sides now’ and ended with ‘While my gutair gently weeps’. the feelng within only strengthened whe i listened and relistened to the two mentioned songs. my soul was shifting and even more so while the night air blew through the open windows and the music was drowning out all other sences…i felt compelled to go and go and go….throw my hands up and just drive into the night..into oblivion.
“so many things i wouldve done but the clouds got i the way”. i voicemailed or tried twice to but my cell was goig down fast. either message i left to that box probally didnt make it. an unsettling feeling, emotional, discontent, feeling dred….feeling lost and alone. i despise that mindstate when it all comes in together and then with a feeling of wanderlust or whatever it is that places thoughts like this into my dulled brain.
i cant explain how i feel but i do know what the biggest part of it is and i am powerless to make it happen. to begin to live. to place my head down on soft, warm comfort. i feel so dried up, useless, my existence and the why of it are often pondered in my spirit but i know the medicine i must have to be complete, to be stablized, to feel purpose..but there isnt an RX or chemical on the market..what i need, the medicine to fix me lies in the warm loving spirit of one. it moves me, it makes perspective and clarity all focused and line up. my spirit could rest i this and i could give–me..the real deepest me–all of my all.
i was counting on my cell phone to hold out until i could sit down and move the pics i have taken over to computer so they could appear right here or atleast on the hard drive to be stored, edited for whatever reason my mind would eventually click enough to know what to do with them. my mind knows what i want, what i need, myself but my mind cannot make it happen. i am powerless to start my heart. the remedy, the medicine is not within reach.
so i’m am sitting, typing the circling thoughts and understanding fully the song that is playing on the cd player..”easys gettin harder everyday”….and it goes on the line”theres not much living here inside” spins. Iris DeMent, you never have heard of her and if ou have – lucky you. Ran across Iris in Texas. 7 or 8 years back. She was holding an acoustic gutair and when it came her time, she sang a song, that in itself is beautiful but added with ozark dialect (i guess some would say “cracker hick” as the distinct accent comes by them–but), i sat while my spirit was ejected from my body and then floating above it all, i listened closer and closer. i remember a couple of girls i a resterant in Amarillo working the cash register whe i payed for my meal. they heard me speak, and i guess my southeast tennessee dialect must have impressed them. or sickened…they knew i wasnt from texas. confessing to them i was a born and bred tennessean. they didnt seemed to surprized. and like some good natured yankees, as to hear me talk some more…geez, i am a freak show with all my body parts attached and normal. i dont hear it, in others i often do….some are more cracker-hick than me…..i know a guy, whom has a dialect more than i..but one thing about him i noticed, when he tries to impress or act like a big shot, that tennesseean voice becomes “proper” sounding and all sharp and crisp….whether i am prentendin to know what i am talking about, and in whomevers company i am in, i sound the same. i dont alter my voice, whether excited, calm, in a deeply emotional discussion, or whatever. i’ve told many a northerner that their the one with the weird accent, not me.
geez, rambling. i realize you realize it became obvious many words ago. but i am typig to myself as no one else is on this site. so i can eat my tortillas and drink my coffee…i love just passin the frig and occasionally snatching a tortilla just by itself. of course i have a overwhelming urge for honey and not the kind the bees make…but only one person will know what i am talking about there.
if i could just get it delivered and have the source beside me everyday of life. the warmeth, softness, the comforting pillows and a heartbeat and hearing the breathing soft or accerated, is wat i need. where, how, when, will it happen? will it come together? and if so, how about beginning yesterday and throughout the remainder of ‘forever’. please?
i;m getting gone now..i sound like a complete senseless fruit cake.
–photo is mine..BTW.. as is the sunflower. took it with the cell cam a couple days ago. hope it brings good thoughts to all who see it. i thought it nice if i say so myself.
