Holiday Homage Part Twelve: Birth

Everywhere I turn today, I see love. This day commenced watching films with Jer and celebrating his birthday. On this day where there is a celebration of a birth (whether you adhere to the belief system or not), I find myself anew and FULL. I want for nothing. I have everything I will ever need.

I wish you the birth of love, of family, of joy.

I am SO happy.

Merry Christmas to you!

P.S. Quin is rocking it out with his guitar and singing the soon-to-be-a-hit "Jesus Loves Me" Quin mix. The cutest thing I have EVER heard/seen.

The Unbroken Thread

Happy Christmas. It is upon us in this hour, this time, this day... after all the fuss, the frenetic pace, it smiles as it does each year finding us in some of the same places and in some different phases. I always flip through the rolodex of my life on this day, remembering the last 30 Christmases (well I guess I don't remember the first few that well) like they are all connected in one amazing thread charting my successes, my growth, my defeats, my darkness, and my light. Technically Christmas has not really begun. I have not done the ritual of heading to my Mom's and opening gifts and waltzing to see our Christmas film, but I have already been touched by Christmas. I write a lot, in this land of musings I have shared 257 writings with you, my friend, my reader spirits. Much has happened in these past two years, but let me simply write that I was not sure that I would ever enjoy Christmas again, ever really feel connected to it, no matter what I tried to do, I felt adrift ...

I Love the Clarks

I LOVE THE CLARKS!!!!!!!!!!!! (I used twelve exclamation marks/points to show the significance of the love and because twelve is my cosmic number.) It is that simple. Jay and Karen (and the illustrious Quin) allowed me to move into their lovely home under the proviso I would be out in a few days. Well that was October 18th and, look at your calendar folks, I am still here. I think that finally the light has bounced off of a nimbus cloud that I have not seen before and I might have a dwelling. But... I LOVE these two people. They just get me and leave me to my own devices. In this time where I have sequestered myself off into my own little respite lair, they have let me "do my own thing". And they are such lovely, talented, decent people. It has been my honour to get to know them more and their ultimate collaboration, THE Quin. He is the COOLEST child ever. I adore the boy. Tonight Jay, Karen, and I played a card game called Nerts. I am addicted and I saw new shades ...

From the Court Jester: Congratulations to Regi and Jeremy: I Am Ready for My Own Love

True love is a sight to behold. I was asked to perform "All You Need is Love" in my dear friends Regi and Jeremy's nuptials. It was a Renaissance theme and in a backyard that would make HGTV people gawk. It was the embodiment of their spirit. They were in the energy of the ceremony. As emotional as I can become over life, I rarely cry at weddings. One would think the opposite of me, hell.... I even do and I AM ME. (Thought provoking blogging dwells here... right now...) I was deeply moved by this ceremony. The vows, the readings, the ambiance, the costumes, the love, the union. When I fall in love (it will be forever... wait) I would love to have a ceremony that was this real, anchored in joy. I have included a few pictures of the wedding and my jester-esque wedding ensemble. It was FUN to wear. (I feel I have a jester's soul.) There was a particular reading that made me cry because it put words to my heart and how I feel about love, marriage, etc. I am a ...
