Universe Calling...

the universe...
i hear her calling...
i hear everything inside.
i've had my mouth closed
my lungs full
my heart heavy
and she told me to rest.
so i'll unpack my thoughts
and count them one by one.
i left secrets up on that mountainside
over looking city lights..
felt uninspired
and so damn tired..
for all the things i've done

i've gotta blame someone. 

i hear the ocean by the mountain side

as i stare toward the sky
i'll lie awake
as i lie alive
while i try to remember all the things i didn't mean.
made the same mistake twice
hoping on second chances
because you and i both know
that if it weren't for second chances
we'd all be alone

a skip
a break
a lapse in time

woke up in the morning
life..passing me by

don't forget me

but please forgive me. 

The universe...
i hear her calling...
and i hear everything inside.

Sweet Old Summertime

Memories. 

Songs that sing of our friendship and more.

Anthems of our heated days and cooler nights.

Waking up without a care in the world.

Just the sunlight ahead of us and the sweet summertime. 

Things are hard to forget when they were so good.

Smiles for days and talks throughout the night.

We had conversations that questioned life. 

Thank you for that.

Muscles Ache

My muscles ache..

pushing

pulling 

tense 

tired

sore 

dancing with people

some strangers; some known

swimming in rivers

cold waters to wash away the sweat

peddling up and down hills 

fresh air pushing my hair back

artfully swaying my hips; knees bent. 

sending out sweet rhythm into the air

riding in circles 

only to make butterflies dizzy

running home in the rain 

laughing all the way

My muscles ache the best way possible. 

Full of everything around me..

Life Is Plentiful

I dreamed under the stars last night..
I enjoyed the laughter of my friends into the early hours of the morning and fell asleep next to them.
Woke to the the sun peaking over the lake that I've never seen before and a cool breeze kissing my face. 
Pink and purple clouds swirled together like colorful drops of water in a crystal blue sky.
I fell back asleep to the sound of crickets singing their sweet lullabies in the early morning air.

My skin is burnt from playing in the sun today.
I have a few more freckles that call my skin home now.
I smell of leftover sweat, fire, and earth.
I jumped off cliffs and swam in emerald green waters.
I drank to much and I laughed to much.
I drove home with the windows down in the rain.

Life
 is 
simple
sweet
and 
plentiful

My 5 Minutes With Frog.

It brings me a comfort to know that I am blessed.

Beyond all things, I Am Blessed.

I was walking Tyson at the dog park today and I met a man. 
His back was to me as I approached him and his furry child that Tyson had already ran ahead to greet. 
As the man turned around he had the biggest smile on his face and an ascot around his neck, he was wearing a purple and green plaid shirt with these light colored denim jeans. 
I quickly said, "hello" and the man reached for his neck to speak and politely replied, "hello." in return.

I had a short and sweet conversation with him; 
Talked about the weather. 
Talked about Tyson. 
Spoke about the town we lived in.

At the end of our conversation he invited me to come listen to him play music with his band the next night.

It was obvious that this man loved life. Still grabbing it by the horns and taking control.

Before I walked away he asked my name. I smiled and told him, "Kat, and yours?"

He replied, "Frog, that's what they call me." 
He lowered his hand and just smiled.

Frog, you inspired me today. 
Inspired me to know that no matter how life is or what happens to me along the way...
To keep smiling and keep moving forward...

I hope life continues to be kind to you and I am thankful for our moment together.

Where Has Your Journey Taken You?

"I feel like sometimes I am walking the thin line. 
All around me god is kissing the earth.. 
and I notice how delicate her lips are.
 You can't help but tilt your head back, 
close your eyes and hope it rains; its a firece thing to live.
Sometimes the color of her mouth makes me hurt all over. "

Sometimes the color of his mouth makes me hurt all over....

Long Ago.

I yearn for him like a lonely child for comforting arms; 

When the moon is at it's highest peak and the stars shimmer against that ebony background...

That is when I miss him most.

I miss him from the depths of my soul.
While lying in a hammock, without his body there;
No sweet fingers to trace my own.
Or cool water to share our sips.
I miss the laughter that filled the air. 

The never ending strolls. 
Endless looks and stories being told. 
I miss the feel of his body; 
The soft yet rough, sun worn skin. 
How his muscles were lines to trace.
I miss those deep brown eyes. 
Deep and endless just like his soul.
I miss his braveness.
Silly questions. 
Delicate lips. 

I miss the touch of his soft hands caressing my body. 

It makes me think back to when his tender lips traced my curves with soft kisses 

And how the sweat dripped off his face as it rolled down his brow.
"You smell like earth and blossoms," he would whisper in my ear.  

Oh how I long to feel his hair brush my cheek or to taste him--- 

To taste the sweetness of his kiss or the salt of his skin... 

To breathe him in like the ocean air.
I can still smell the water on his skin like it was yesterday. 
And that is when my heart swells with emotions...

When I smell that salty sweet ocean scent.

To remember colors and feelings, laughter and joy, and the beautiful memories I'll never forget...
It takes me back to that place but it has been so long ago, I almost can't remember where...

Soul mate.

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave.

A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life…"

Vulnerable, Bold, Raw.

The story isn't over until there isn't a breath left in our lungs; remember that were not dead yet. 
And remember that our story has yet to be told between the two us.
From us to the world. 

The distance tastes like medicine....and a spoonful of sugar makes it go down...

And I lost my heart way back then, lost my mind, found my soul.
I fell in love way back then, lost my heart and found my soul.

We'll watch the lights out over the water and watch the city glow.
We'll dive right in knowing that we may be empty, and that we may be hollow.
But it won't matter because with one another we are whole. 

It's searching for the comforting thought. 
It's searching for the comforting arms. 
I'ts searching for the warmth in my heart.

It's a final goodbye. 
One last time to know it's over.
One last time until life lets us cross again.

It's knowing that no matter what we do the feelings do not ebb away.

The endless laughter we have shared.

And listening to our sweet breath in time. 

Memories not soon forgotten. 

Moments were seconds 
That felt like hours 
And it was breathtaking.

I miss your soap smelling skin, 
Yet I am reminded that I am just a drop in your ocean and a voice in your crowd, 
And home is your heart and it makes me tremble.  
But you don't know it and never will.

I won't make you anymore tired, I don't think you'll ever reach me.
Or is it that I won't make myself anymore tired knowing that I'll never reach you...

I try to live in a painting...
A painting of brushstrokes and watercolor. 
And hopefully time can paint the best of me while I flip through my memories. 
Trying to chase my own dreams.

This world is. 
Puzzling. 
Questioning.
Amazing.

What an amazing world it is.

The people.
The ideas.
The memories of the past.
And that time takes away the pain eventually.

So I'll leave you with a thank you...
And hope that the paltry simplicity of those two words might convey the depth it should truly project.
And knowing that it is so amazing to explore a person;
Break down the barriers 
To see the real them. 
Vulnerable, 
Bold, 
Raw.

The Law of Attraction

Energy.

Our thoughts are energy.  We send out hundreds of thousands of pulses of energy just by a thought.

Positive thoughts. Positive reactions.
Negative thoughts. Negative reactions. 

How is it that something so simple as thinking can bring about life changing events. 
If we want something so much we can make it happen. 
The same says for things we don't want; think about it enough...it will happen.

Think about it.  

We think something; we think about it and think about it and the vibrations of our thoughts echo through time and space and the parallels line up and the universe provides. 

We are what we think, not what we think we are.

To control our thoughts is a terrifying thing. 
How often do we think...
but not really think.

As long as we are mindful, good things can happen. 
And it all starts in our mind.

Be mindful and the universe will provide.
