Good morning Jeffrey - how lovely you could hear your mothers 'beautiful, kind voice' emanating out in your voice, that deep loving connection with the feminine, a great 'mother/child reunion' moment is truly "only a moment away." Rekindling, resurrecting felt senses of deeply rooted loving bonds of unconditional love into your now. As a mother with sons, your sharing is sweet music to my ears for I have always believed and known that lovingkindness truly does transcend all. Thanks for all this...Peace + Love Linda
Sometimes I hear songs others have written:
Something appealing,
Something appalling,
Something for everyone:
A comedy tonight!
Nothing with kings, nothing with crowns;
Bring on the lovers, liars and clowns!
Old situations,
New complications,
Nothing portentous or polite;
Tragedy tomorrow,
Comedy tonight!
Sondheim
or

Sometimes,
As I begin making my way around the store
I hear Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
singing Free Falling
I feel my lips begin to come together as
I softly whistle the melody
just then a large Black woman about
6 ft... 250 lbs comes walking by
she's got a Quiet smile on her face
as she sings the words:
"I'm Free, I'm Free...Free Falling !!!
I can't help myself, I start smiling, I think to myself
Tom Petty transcends time and place
even a grocery store can become a sacred
or holy place where the gospel's sung.

lyrical writing is very important to me. Maybe it was hearing my Mother's voice which was beautiful and kind, like her ? I can't really explain it. Intellectual or scholarly writing impresses me so much ( like shiny coins in my dream) since this is my inferior function. I envy Hillman or Shalit or Romanyshyn or Bosnak writing so much. They 're so smart. Unfortunately I'll never write like them. Unfortunately or fortunately I'll have to stick with Something convulsive,Something repulsive,Something for everyone:A comedy tonight!
Good morning all - found this during my google searches this past weekend and wanted to share as part of our preparation contemplation for the upcoming big feast...
Peace + Love Linda
Thank you, Linda "Tantalizing" is the word I was looking for. You gave it voice. I look forward to seeing what is next.
:-)
Awe, yes Eva wonderfully said - the appetizer was tantilizing. Glad to receive your comment and find out about this space for our ongoing dialogue - full meal deal! Peace + Love Linda
I so enjoyed this little taste of what is to come on this video webinar. Profound and provocative ; a depth psychology and poetry - a marriage made in heaven and gifted to earth. Truly food of the gods.
