The Pleasant Hermit

This evening I smelled the first scent of Fall. I can feel it coming and I am so excited, I am! The Autumn is always a magical time for me and I am looking forward to creating some new traditions of my own. Autumn, autumn, autumn... :-)

Other than performing in my show, I have been a hermit the past few weeks and I must say that I quite enjoy it. Every once in a while I do not mind getting out, but I so enjoy being alone... really.

I do not know when I became this person, but it is someone I am getting to know quite well in the down time. He is a dapper and odd fellow and he is ME! Ha.

I watched "Ghostbusters" the other night and I forgot how much I love that film. It is impossible not to shake your hind quarters when that theme starts... impossible I say!

So, to anyone who has invited me to places and I have not attended, etc. please note that I am enjoying the quieter, less social side of me... it is nothing personal. I just am sharing through these musings and observing. There are a few times I gab, but it is not as often as it used to be.

Ah, one never knows where life shall take the traveler...

Much love,
Dustin

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 ...

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
