Joy is on the Mend


I am inviting the joy back into my life even though I may not feel it as passionately as I would like, but the only way for it to return is to usher it in valiantly.

In the grand scheme, there are no worries...

But I have been bogged down by the demons of faithless nights, chiming in with their hopeless refrain...

And I listened to them. I bought their lies... their myths of a life less than I can live.

I know better than to listen to that nonsense.

But we all have those times when what they say rings true, when we need to be enveloped in the negative blanket and purge the soul. I am sure I will have these moments again.

Moments that take me away from my joy and leave me feeling stranded, but I will always find my light and return to the center of my inner child.

It is who I am.

So I don this internet quill to say,

"Joy is on the mend."

Dustin

It feels good, FYI.

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
