Oh the Shoulds...


I should...
be in bed asleep right now.

I should...
be packed for a trip that I am taking tomorrow/today.

I should...
be tired from a long day.

I should...

Well I have never been a fan of the shoulds.

I am a six year old on Christmas Eve. I cannot sleep for I am so EXCITED about my forthcoming trip. I am driving to Cincinnati to see my dear friend Joshua and write some songs with him.

Creating music is a spiritual and miraculous process, maybe the closest thing that I will ever experience to having children.

Then on Monday, I am off to Chicago to see another soulmate, Jordan. I love her. I love Chicago.

I can feel that this trip will be healing and enchanting. I can feel it, I can feel it...

I am so grateful to have these two treasures in my life and to see and hug them again.

Oh, I need to go ahead and leave some cookies for Santa.

Grinning,
DAB

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 ...

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

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
