now i see that when i have the urge to buy red cowgirl boots and dance on tables, this is a good sign.
now i see that no one ever really means to hurt anyone, not truly.

Now I see there are others out there, here even. Remarkable souls who have often felt strange and isolated. I was never alone. I see that now.
By the way, broken bits make gorgeous mosaics….

May you know in your heart how your honesty speaks to me, someone you have never met. It makes me feel braver to share my broken bits one day with someone who says he loves me. Right now I am feeling a bit messy and just barely able to see myself in a soft light. I am aching for Spring. Thank you so much.

sweet girl…now i see that we all feel this way from time to time. but we string these moments together like a beaded necklace…right next to this tender bead is a sunset bead, and then a birthday party bead, and a snuggle bead.
i saw garnette last night and she says you may come this way? let’s do art playshop at my studio!!

Im glad I found you and I look forward to seeing more of you.
The FunkySiren hears the Mermaids song and is enchanted and mesmerized and listens for more while peering through the sea mist of life.
