Time and Again

Apparently, I have this need to wait a full year or more in between posts.

I love music. It is not only the background of our lives but a part of who we are and who we aspire to be - who we wish we were and who we wish we were with - and so much more and so much less. When I was working on the 2004 presidential campaign I became an acquainted with an artist who's music I just love. We had some conversations and then lost touch as I lost touch with the direction of my life. Well today I found his website and started listening to his new album. Just listening to him moves me, inspires me, and a host of other adjectives that are fairly pointless without action. So I got out my guitar and started to play again. Thank you once again Matthew Ryan. I'll tell you like I was told - Run, do not walk, directly to matthewryanonline.com and find yourself - again.

WARNING!
Be careful with your relationships - the fall out from a bad one can derail you and your purpose in life for, well, ever if you let them. I've come to a renaissance in my life recently. I'm just now really starting to piece my life back together in a form that I'm happy with. After two tough derailments and 12 years I finally feel like I'm getting back to me. That is due, in no small part, to the woman who stands by my side today. She is everything I could hope for and more, and no words are created that will do her justice - from her astonishing beauty to her biting wit she is more than language has the ability to express. I soooooooo love her!

Till next time,
E

Sparkle and shine
Sparkle and shine
My baby sparkle and shine

And everyone knows she’s mine"

Did it ever occur to you that you are everything she hopes for and more? And that just maybe there are no words created that could do you justice either. You just haven't had a woman to stand by your side that was smart enough to realize that and see the person you really are until now. They have all tried to turn you into something that you are not, when the true beauty in you is the person you are naturally. I love you, just the way you are.
