Very nice entry. And, as you were dealing with such a depressing topic, you somehow tackled it without sounding whiney. By the way, your time isn't over. In my line of work, I see late loves allllllllll the time. If you're looking for it, though. . , you will have to get out and ACTUALLY look for it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it....and don't ever worry about me staying open and vulnerable; I've written many times, my epitaph is going to be, "She had a fearless heart"......

Thank you so much for the positive thoughts....I do believe....I never give up hope. Wish I hadn't been quite so hard headed about some other things though, and had more of my life ahead of me than behind me...but, regrets are a waste of time that is left!

That a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle?? I did so enjoy the whole story.... Make sure you stay vulnerable to love.

Krisles,
Yeah, the community board, and maybe a couple of posts also. I've already mentioned it to Offbeats so she's an excellent source and I know she would love to cruise with us. I'll also hit others in comments. Even those who couldn't afford it now should be able to work toward the goal for next summer. I'm about with you on bed. I've got school tommorrow. Sweet dreams and talk to you later. Shadow

Community Bulletin Board.....and then tell all the folks that have lots of comments? That's all I can think of right now 'cause I'm about to nod off...but, I do think it sounds like a definite fun thing....think about who would be good to bounce ideas off of and we'll talk again tomorrow? Sweet dreams...

Krisles,
You know what? You gave me an idea! Let's try and get the blogit gang together and take a cruise. Heck there would be plenty of dancing all night long. I graduate next May and what a better way to celebrate then to have my blogit pals to celebrate with. What do you think? Plus I have connections and could get a great discount rate. Next summer would give everyone time to save the money. Just think of all the people here you would love to meet. Shadow

Thanks so much.....I'm not surprised to hear you say that from some comment you left in blackcat's blog today about waiting....tender hearts we have. I was on a cruise in January with my mom, and everynight I watched these couples dancing in the main cocktail lounge....I mean, really dancing....dressed up, romantic...like you never see couples dance anymore...it looked like most were cruise veterans who had probably taken lessons just to be able to do that together. It brought me to tears everynight. One night, I even got angry and sent a kind of nasty email....venting a little, which I haven't done enough of. But I think that's what started the ball rolling for this change. I realized, even though I know those couples have their fights and that everyday isn't like that for them....just to have those moments that I saw them having, watching them look in to each others' eyes as they danced aroud the floor - not all of them, of course, but several of them - well, I want that.

Krisles,
Can I relate to you? Oh yeah. I have those moments myself, but, unfortunately I always look for a perfect man and so I usually throw away some really good and kind hearted individuals. I'll keep searching and if I don't find him, well, there's always the next life. Beautiful, beautiful post. Shadow

Eva Cassidy was one of the top female vocalists (at least recorded) in my opinion...so sad she had to have died before gaining the recognition. She moves me like few others. And, I can sure dream that your feeling is right.....I'll look forward to your poem.

Krisles, your post really touched me deeply.
I suppose I feel like I've blown it in so many ways and I sometimes feel like I'm getting too old to start over in some areas. I truly believe we only have this life to get it right, but if I'm wrong, well, I will welcome a second chance for sure. Meanwhile, your words and writing are always amazing...thanks.

I understand this post so well. This song has spoke to me since the first time I heard it.I know I am young but I've dated a lot and no one has ever been in love with me. I feel very pathetic saying that. I hope that you and I both have the opportunity to dance to this song. Well, not together but you know what I mean.

Pretty Pretty Post M' Love...I know the tears of the tourtured soul. I have fully found music to be very cathartic in the way you speak. Bleed my heart out, putting my soul in a taffy stetcher and bending my mind into a contortionists nightmare. Oh...!
They say it is the high I feel that bring about such lows. All I know is that when I feel anything, good or bad, I feel it with every single atom in my being.

This sounds a little like what I've been thinking lately: There must be something better out there for me. How did I miss the boat????? I believe in reincarnation, but for the last ten years or so, I feel this vast weariness. I don't want to go through it all again. It's now, or never. I'm ready to move on to something new.

Are we psychic twins of a sort? I was somewhat.....well, here comes the drama queen....stunned when I read your comment because I could have held a mirror up to it.....I could have written about your writing, the things you wrote about mine; and I could have written how I feel about life and happiness, etc.....what you wrote about them. I have finally admitted, quit tap dancing around the fact, that my marriage has been unhappy...but that doesn't mean that my life has been these past 27yrs. I was exactly as you describe....a mixture. I had a great need for affection and connection; and, shamefully, found it in a friendship/affair at work---and work was where I got the personal fulfillment I wish I could have gotten in a marriage. I didn't start out to be a career woman, actually...not at all. I didn't have any plans at all, to be honest. My health has probalby been the biggest casualty, and the thing I'm working hardest to get back on track as I start to turn my life around. I pushed down the unhappiness....out of even my own sight....and the body isn't fooled. I'll scratch out of this cocoon....one thing about me.....once I do finally make up my mind about something....well, I'm like your brother.

I'm sure that you are much too good looking and that is exactly the problem! And, yes, those days are wonderful. I've actually seen couples that make those days last a lifetime together....it's so beautiful to see. Thanks for visiting me....I hope you find someone that the song plays a lot longer that just a little while for....and that your dazzling good looks don't mess it all up with....you really do deserve it.

I had to take some distance to be able to respond to all the wonderful comments left on this post...they just touched my heart too much. I went through a lot of tissues yesterday, but I think crying is a good thing. Yes, I'm not surprised you can identify....and I am reinventing....part of the chrysalis I'm still wrapped up in, building that muscle....hard at work. That post was a reflection of my pragmatic approach to life. But, I love surprises, and I am just going to do my work and then go with the flow....

A "right on" post...
...Krisles. One reason why I consider you a good writer is your ability to either get into our heads or let us into yours. Can't make up my mind which. But anyway, you leave us - well, me, anyway, I'll speak for myself - with a pretty good clue about how you might be feeling, though the full feeling is, of course, personal to you. Reincarnation is an appealing notion because there's nothing like getting a second chance. Control, Alt, Delete, reboot, return to the default settings and start again. One thing I do know -- one lifetime doesn't seem nearly long enough to get it all right. Also, I don't know if we're meant to be continuously happy in this life. It sure doesn't turn out that way for the average person. I've had a few really happy times, a few really miserable times, and the rest has been, I guess, "not unhappy." That's about the best I can say. But the nature of life is progressive (even though paradoxically cyclical) so I think it gets better wherever it goes from here. It better, or I demand a refund.

Krisles,
if only you knew how parallel our lives are. Do you recall "
Chokin' on Green Smog." I do, my friend; you and I share parallel worlds. Cunning says, I'm shy; I'm just private. When I muster some yoko-onos, I will e-mail you. Krisles you will see yourself in my mirror. I gotta hug ya (((Krisles))))

i always liked that song too
ive met a few girls that ive been crazy about...but it always ends up bad. my biggest complaint is that i don't like their friends...followed closely by the fact that i'm a vegan.
but my personal opinion is that i was too good looking for them. they were just afraid to admit it.
anyway...that song always reminds me of those few weeks after you meet a girl who's really unbelievable...before everything gets messed up. those days are so nice.

Hey, although I am absolutely certain that reincarnation is a reality, even if you have "blown it" up till now, it's never too late until you die in THIS lifetime, to have what you desire. this was beautifully written by the way.

I can't believe you picked a song from the Nosotros playlist!
Welcome to my wave! You're beautiful, just beautiful. There's something waiting for us in the before-life (this is the before-life, don't ya know? Just a dream, baby, baby), and I believe that it's the stuff that dreams are made of. It's everything rich and beautiful. Maybe we're living one trillion lives simultaneously RIGHT NOW. Maybe you just entered the body of Krisles this very second, but your mind was implanted with memories that never occurred. Maybe all things are possible! The song is in tune, and you're never alone. The silence between notes makes the song.

Krisles....Touchdown on this one...High 5 !!!!!!
"your heart was wrapped in clover." a gorgeous song....You made me want to weep, but I did not, because I could see a lot of myself in your words, Krisles....Reincarnation is a very lovely thought, actually. I believe in re-invention of self, persona, and everything around us. We can create better days, although that takes a lot of muscle.
