Unlimited



"Unlimited, my future is unlimited."

I find it stirring that just as I have arrived at that place in my psyche, I am attending the event in which that is a prevalent theme.

I am perambulating (thank you thesaurus.com for giving me a much needed synonym for "traversing"...) into the wonderful world of Oz flipped on its side in the tale that is "Wicked". I am elated! It is my fifth time to see the show and I am more excited because it is my brother's (Brandon a.k.a. Bran Flakes) FIRST time. He loves the show and it makes me happy to know that a "straight" can enjoy the realm of Oz and its intricacies and its eccentricities as much as me... well, almost.

I have been doing my own "eleka nahmen ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen" chants so the cast is ready and there are no understudies. I want this to be an unparalleled experience for all the "Wicked" newbies including my bro, my sis-in-law, two nieces, and my niece's boyfriend.

My future IS unlimited... together, we're unlimited...

And you'll be with me,

Like a handprint on my heart...

In whatever you do, DEFY GRAVITY,
Dustin Ashley

Postscript for poppets: I adore the two pictures I posted that I found online looking for an Elphaba design that not everyone had seen. Click on the second one and look at how the artist cleverly used lyrics from the opener, "Wizard and I", "Defying Gravity", "No Good Deed", and a deliciously nefarious quote from the book. I think it is perfect and is now my laptop background. Also, the first visual is a drawing that I feel captures Elphaba in all her magical glory and sensuality. :-)

Loving the Squiggly

I was typing the other day and instead of hitting the ! key I hit the ~ key. Two odd altercations happened between two friends and me via facebook so I have deactivated my account for a bit. It was hurtful and unexpected. So when I hit the ~ key it made me smile and forget all that nonsense. ~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dustin

And With This, Farewell

This blog has been a dear friend to me. I am not good at farewells, but truly this is anything but. I look at it like this - I love the phoenix, the symbolism of it all, the power of rebirth. Hence why I named my blog/musing screen after one. :-) So, I am leaving this particular blog to start another one, one that fits me NOW, the one that I can share in a new way. So this feels right. Thanks to those who have read my musings throughout the years. I hope you follow me to my new musing home entitled THE TWELVE THAT IS DUSTIN BAYLAN. Yes, I am changing the name, the story of that is on the new blog for you to read. Here is the link: http://dustinbaylan.wordpress.com/ Much love, much hope and joy again, much potential... Winks and smiles of the Cat that is Cheshire, Dustin Baylan

Holding the Key

Only I am solid ground. Those whom I love - the new, the familiar - can be my circle, my connections... but the connection to self is the key I have been missing. Peace fills me as I hold the key and begin to unlock the doors of my life. Only I am solid ground and I embrace the beauty of me. Dustin
