I had done some independent film work before I had a health relapse.
Today I had someone send me some written work asking me if I'd like to
acquire it. I emailed the person and let them know I was no longer
doing producing.
I followed this person's link. They are blind. They were a normal human
being like I was and then boom one year went blind. Now they have
articles and books published. They have written adult books,
childrens's books and screenplay.Now I know I should be inspired, but
I'm going to wallow for a little bit, because--well I like to save my
happiness for my children and not waste it on written word.
This person lost everything a non disable life has to offer and became
disabled. And they are going on and succeeding. And their disability is
far more disabling than mind.
Am I succeeding? No. I am slowly losing my dreams one by one. First, my
husband, my love poof. And he took our beautiful loving close knit
family life with him. Then my health. Then working (supporting myself)
Then half my IQ. Then my home Then medical school, then science (The
two most things important to meother than my family). Then real
estate work. Then food. (got that one back thank god but nearly starved
to death). Then film work. I'm barely holding onto the fire department.
Scraping through school. Thank God ive got my kids, even though my ex
threatens to take them from me at least once a month.
And though I have a broken pained exhausted body, its not as disabling
as being blind. Yet im feeling frankly completely incompetent.
Well now that i've got that out of my system, the truth is I still have
hope. Its at the bottom of the box once you clear everything else away.
and im still breathing and stepping and i've still got my kids and for
that i am happy.

Just to write
So im blithering here just to write. I could drivel on tears of a
broken heart or talk about the tangibility life in a way that would
make me sound like ive been dropping acid. I could crow about my
children.(which are great by the way.)
Who knows. Life is such an amalgam of poison and sweets, of toxicity and love.
Whoa. I'm Britney Spears.
Ok. Goodnight.

I object. Impeach Bush and his Administration
I cannot stand by and watch without objecting the hijacking of our democracy.

The Oak and the Willow
8/16/05
I am a strong woman.
No matter if the world is stronger than me.
I will hold up as long as I can
under the weight that I bear
under the weight that is added
and if I collapse
there will be forgiveness in my heart
because I made an ant just an ant
and hercules just a man
and I withstood with strength
the best that I could.
I am a strong woman.
Deep Breath in...
Deep Breath in...
Close my eyes...
Smile.
I made it another day.

Water Color Soul
I want to do more here than whine whine whine. I want to capture the
enthusiasm I see when I read the beginning of this blog. But the truth
is I'm more often moved to write when I'm upset than when I'm happy, so
statistically speaking it is more likely that my misery and sorrow will
be chronicled than prettier emotions.
Was I spurred to write this because of less than jubilant feelings....yeah a grey watercolor sadness that can't be washed away.
If you pick the wrong man to fall in love with, you just seem to keep falling until you are floating in a hazy steam of heartbreak.
I want mine back so much, but the man that is, is not the man that was, and I am led by the illusion as if by a mirage in the desert.

Death
I hit a deer tonight and am still reeling from it. Laced with the
shocks of murdering such a large life, whose thudding smack resembles
that of a human, im sure, is the shock that is my life that i keep
trying to supress because there is nothing i can do to stem the tide of
misery that washes away my humanity, grain by grain, wave by wave. My
body heaves the emotion of my vehicular crime, and in a mass emesis,
heave the emotion of my ultimate crimes against myself, failing in my
dream, failing in my place as a savior, failing in the base of
humanity, failing to forgive myself...unlike Socrates my list of crimes
is long, and there is no one to beg me to escape an unjust system. But
there is no hemlock either, nor rest for the weary soul.
I remember crying over drowned frog, who my boyfriend at the time bade others to hide from me to prevent the emotion. Butmy emotion and reverence saved it, because it was dying not dead yet. kittens died in my hands a few weeks ago and i couldn't save them. and i cried, and i mourned...there was no resurrection. Then the deer, and i screamed from helpless moment of knowing i would hit it until i brought my car to a halt. The blood is on my hands now.if my words seem dramatic, dramatic they may be..but that dismissal doesn't lessen the truth of the feeling.
and then in shock i drove to my sisters house, and in that heaving of emotion there was a regurgitation of feeling...the one that i am alone. there is no one at my house to call and tell i will not be home. not completely alone. im am lucky enough to be a my sisters house. a house is not a home. it is shelter. my sister is well meaning but has limitation in nurturing
and i the nurturer and protectress no longer able to nurture and protect.
instead there is so much help i need and frankly over the course of the years ive felt abandoned in a way i wouldn't have been if i had a respectable disease lke cancer or stroke, though mine is no less destructive. and weak. the pain over taking my body is relapse. it enough to make many people consider that self actio that perpetuates in greek tragedy...ajax, antgone.
