“Solitude And Its Silence, Was The Song That Taught Me To Stand In The Storms That Others Fled, So

Words to live by

(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

No longer have I, nor will I, ignore what this world’s natural beauty. My soul, mind, and heart can be in the bottom of the ocean but nothing can take away the gifts of companionship, enlightenment, or gracefulness that life can place within my grasp

I am doing something I learned early to do, I am paying attention to small beauties.

My kink is being incredibly gentle with her, being respectful, listening to her yapping all day and helping her discover her true self while being with her.

I love you, the love I have for you will always be there no matter how much space it may take in my mind or heart or soul. Every second we lock eyes, gaze upon your smile, or savor every second we touch. I know I am closer to the depictions of love, heaven, contentment

if i only ever touch you with our clothes on-

i will still hold you closer than i’ve ever held before

but don’t get me wrong, i have never desired something more than to look into your eyes

touch your face with my hand and hold your cheek, lean in and at last, feel your lips on mine

finally speaking to each other in a way that words cannot

but for now

moonlight shines down on me through the cracks between the blinds and i lie awake

thinking about your body pressed against mine

the thought of bringing you pleasure, i’ve never wanted to give a gift so badly

to be one with you, our bodies intertwined as deeply as our souls

maybe i’m not a good person for thinking about this so much

it seems to be the first place my mind wanders to when it’s not at work, the last place before i fall asleep

and if the universe encourages love, then i hope it’ll let me feel your hands on my body

but if i only ever touch you with our clothes on

i will still be closer with you than ever before

💘

Plant of the Day

Wednesday 19 February 2025

Part of the displays at the David Welch Winter Gardens in Duthie Park, Aberdeen, were a range of Hippeastrum cultivars (amaryllis). These tender bulb needs to be planted in a container indoors in a colder climate, from October to January. The bulbs should flower about six to eight weeks after planting, and provided the foliage is allowed to produce energy for another bulb and there is a cooler rest period it will flower the next winter. A friend of mine has kept the same plant for over 40 years!

Softness, it seems, is an act of defiance - a quiet revolution.

When I shut my eyes I’m trying to envision and obtain self compassion, what I really want from life.

To be near the people who continue to grow dear to me, Uncrustables, and to preserve, protect, learn, and be one with beautiful, breath taking, more than I can comprehend, types of places such as this.
