Celery Moments



I am devouring a plateful of celery enjoying its refreshing flavours.

I abhorred celery in the past, the sight and smell of it almost made me ill.

Now it is a comfort food.

Let that serve as a reminder that one never knows where ones tastes, life, or identity will take him.

I challenge you to look at your celery moments and smile at the juxtaposition of complex and simple, the ways you have changed and grown.

So. Much. Fun. Hops. Smiles.

Postscript for poppets: The first pic is celery and, well, is celery. Got it? Coolio. The second pic reminds me of an outfit my Mama would wear and somehow make look remarkable. She is such a fashionable lady, so beautiful. :-) Aw, Mamas.

Knowing your Mom, I have to agree. I have never seen her when she didn't look great. As for celery being a comfort food - it would probably be a good thing for me if I thought of celery that way. My shape these days is less "poppet" and more "Stop It!"

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
