Time Travel Hug



A decade ago, I started a ritual. Whenever I felt sad about being single, when I was living in the naked lonelies, I would purchase a love card: something heartfelt, poignant, silly, sexy.

These cards would be given to Him, my love and he would be told the story that he was thought of long before I knew who he was, in fact gifts were purchased for him.

Then I stopped working for Hallmark and that tradition ceased.

Recently, I saw a few cards that I simply had to buy for Him and started thinking back to those days, those cards, and deciding I need to reinstate that ritual. However, I thought the cards had long been lost in my travels to and fro, in the craziness of tours, New York, and various apartments and houses.

Last night I was gloriously proven wrong.

I found my cards from a decade ago and they made me cry, laugh, and feel the "soul glow." It was as if my younger, even more romantic self was saying, "Keep doing this, you will find Him."

It felt like a time travel hug.

I love these seemingly insignificant times, these moments where all you do is find something you thought long gone and it blankets you in the warmth of youth and beauty dancing in the circle that is life.

Love,
D

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...

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
