needlessly dramatic
https://jdwoww.wordpress.com/2012/10/16/1146
This post is a conglomerate of several days’ journal entries. I am posting this now as a reminder, during this current inexplicable bout of anxiety, that all is good. I suppose elation never lasts long, but I believe that faith, hope, and love have burrowed more deeply in my heart than ever before and that is what carries me through. How long has it been since I’ve been this happy with who I am? The Post-Birthday World,. There is a curious lack of want. Is by definition directed toward what is lacking, y...

The Alchemist | needlessly dramatic
https://jdwoww.wordpress.com/2012/11/13/the-alchemist
Woman, lift up yah head,. Fo de alchemist he comin. Collect yah tears, e’ry last one,. Fo he turn dem to strands a pearls. Round yah queenly neck. Take up yah burdens in yah weathered hands,. Fo he turn dem leaden weights to gold,. Gold fo yah wrist and yah ankles. Sit up straight in de stiff straw of yah humiliation,. For he spin dat straw to silk. Fo yah royal robes. If ye bear yah head and tear yah hair. In grief and guilt and shame–oh! He crown yah wid his love. So lift up yah head, woman,.

A New Hope | needlessly dramatic
https://jdwoww.wordpress.com/2012/12/04/1173
I wrote the following:. Lord God, forgive again and cast out my impatience. Help me to have faith in your vision for my life. Will you reveal that vision to me, God, or at least a tiny peek when my imagination fails? Then I paused. To breathe. To see. I see…a safe and loving marriage where we never tire of talking to each other. Where we play all the time, where life is an adventure, where together we turn our focus outward. Lost anyway, I still have a chance. And now I will act to protect that. You are ...

July | 2013 | needlessly dramatic
https://jdwoww.wordpress.com/2013/07
Monthly Archives: July 2013. To riff off something shared by Bird Uncaged. 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? Levels of growth ...

Destination Imagination | needlessly dramatic
https://jdwoww.wordpress.com/2013/08/19/destination-imagination
I’ve been ruminating on the idea of goals. For a week now, following a late-night conversation with a friend and a stimulating happy-hour meetup about financial goals for freelancers (courtesy The Salt Mines. In my weeklong meditation on goals, I’ve realized that goals don’t have to become should-do’s, conditions for approval/acceptance, expectations for particular outcomes (RAWR DISAPPOINTMENT ALERT! So where do i go from here? Here’s a few to start and approximate, hypothetical timelines…. Upgrade my o...

Enough For Me | For This Time
https://forthistime.org/2010/07/06/enough-for-me
Life’s Moments in Poetry. There is No Mistake. This is Your Time. Your Choices Matter. July 6, 2010. Sit here, now, awhile with me,. Turn your gaze there,. To the white waters,. Feel, taste the airborne spray. Watch the wildness of the whipping green,. Feel the slapping sting. See the great clouds moving in,. They come for me. These dark wet thunderings. Will try to take from me,. Who I am, what I will be,. But not today,. Not while you are here,. Holding my hand,. To hold it all at bay. In every way,.

November | 2012 | needlessly dramatic
https://jdwoww.wordpress.com/2012/11
Monthly Archives: November 2012. Bad things to happen in order to show us the consequences of our actions? Does a dammed river lose any power when it ceases to flow? If anything, the potential grows. Withholding power, I have learned, is not the same as losing it. Continue reading →. Not used to quitting. There have been many times in the last year that I’ve wondered whether I did the right thing, and even tried to reopen that door, but the universe has seen fit to keep it (mostly) closed. Good and faith...

A conversation | needlessly dramatic
https://jdwoww.wordpress.com/2013/08/20/1348
Father: Hey, kiddo, I heard the news. And I know that look on your face. C’mere. Wanna talk about it? Child: (hesitating a moment before sitting gingerly on the bench, a safe distance away) I don’t want to complain or seem ungrateful. I was…I. Happy with my life, at least when I view it in isolation. You’re not smiling like you were earlier today. Child: It’s just…hard, when others have what I want. Father: Hard to be happy for them? Child: No, not that. Hard…not to wonder. Child: (after a moment’s...
