Drink up, baby doll

Are you in or are you out?

Leave your things behind

'Cause it's all going off without you

Excuse me, too busy you're writing your tragedy

These mishaps

You bubble-wrap

When you've no idea what you're like

So, let go, let go

Jump in

Well, whatcha waiting for?

It's all right

'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

So, let go, l-let go

Just get in

It's so amazing here

It's all right

'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

It gains the more it gives

And then it rises with the fall

So hand me that remote

Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?

Such boundless pleasure

We've no time for later

Now you can't await your own arrival

You've twenty seconds to comply

In the breakdown

'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown

The breakdown

So amazing here

'Cause there's beauty in the breakdown.

-Frou Frou.

Day 67/365

Today was an interesting day. We're in a phase of purging here at home. We're downsizing our family by adopting out some rescued cats that we never intended to keep in the first place, I put out some old stuff that's been hanging around in the garage unused, and today... I made arrangements to get rid of my van.

The van is the real story I suppose-- at least for me. It's sat in our driveway for almost 4 years now, undriven, unused... practically unopened. Inside, it housed the few bits and pieces of stuff I brought with me that I hadn't really found a place for yet inside.

I bought it two days before I moved. It was a last minute but necessary purchase, and upon taking it back to my tiny trashy trailer... I began filling it with all of my worldly belongings. It carried me from Oregon to Texas, with dog in tow. I shredded a tire in Arizona, and drove it for a year after I got here... cracked transmission and everything. In some ways... it was the bane of my existence, and in some... it was the only connection I really had to the almost 6 years I spent in a truly beautiful place.

When it came time for Texas registration.. there was no way it would pass inspection. So, with the help of my Godmother... Bessie the Behemoth (yes, I named my van... I name all my cars) was replaced by Ella the Elantra... and from that point forward... she became a non-rolling storage unit in our driveway-- serving mostly as a landmark to point people to our house on the street.

And although I've known it needed to go for a long time now, it's the last large concrete piece of my life from back then, and I've resisted losing it. But today... today for some reason the universe reached down to me and said... "Let go." Today the universe reminded me that what I'm trying to do is MOVE ON. Move Forward, move beyond. And to do that... I have to let go.

The truth is, you can make all the plans you want, dream all the dreams you care to, make wishes, hope to get lucky, plot your path... but if you want to actually move forward-- you have to let go of the things that anchor you to your past. You have to let go of the things that anchor you to your pain, your failings, your setbacks, your damage. You have to let go of the things that stand in your way.

I can't say that the van necessarily stood in my way in a physical sense... but emotionally-- having it visible to me every day, seeing the Oregon plate, knowing all the memories it held inside... it did hold me back.

So today, I made some calls. I made some arrangements. And I found someone to buy it for scrap. I didn't make much, enough to make it worth it really, and tonight as the man left with all my paperwork (leaving behind cash in my hand) and he promised his wrecker would be by to pick it up tomorrow mid-morning... I felt relieved. Relieved and lightened. Because it's done, and because it was time.

I cleared out the last of my "stuff," chose a good chunk of it to give to goodwill, but kept some things, and threw away much much more.

And it inspired me, the letting go... to continue purging. There is a lot in this house that I brought with me. Remnants of another time, another place... another Me. And it's time to go through all of those remnants and finally cull out the things that are only holding me back. There are going to be things I choose to keep... but it will be my choice. It won't be me keeping things because I CAN'T let go. I will keep things with purpose, for a reason. But I will not continue to be encumbered by pieces of my past. I am moving on, and now... I am letting go. It's time that I let my past fall behind me, leaves in autumn, drifting away. I can keep splashes, hold onto my memories... but all these concrete pieces need to be released.

And perhaps that's the overall theme of this year for me... Letting Go. Releasing my past once and for all.

It's time. Time to let go.

Are you ready to let go? What holds you back today? What landmarks do you hold onto in your heart... what behemoths keep you from being able to move forward?

Let it go. To move on; let go. It's time. Value your future more than your past. It holds more promise, and less pain. Choose to believe that what awaits you in the future is more beautiful, more extraordinary, more valuable than what you are so reluctant to let go of from your past.

Let it go.

Move on.

Believe, your future IS worth more than your past. My future is worth more.

It looked good BEFORE

Not all are gone.

Not yet.

A few still hold –

as if waiting

for the right kind of wind.

Love is the unfamiliar Name

Behind the hands that wove

The intolerable shirt of flame

Which human power cannot remove.

~T.S. (Thomas Stearns) Eliot

...the shirt...

I would recognize

that shirt anywhere...

I like it and the aloof and cavalier

attitude that carries it around.

Can I adore a shirt...

.. .not for it’s colors or cut

(which, I do like)

but for the soul

inside it

which for reasons that are a mystery

to me .............. came

..........................and broke

the monotony in my days

and disturbed

...............my sleep at night.

I really like that shirt...

Remember that lamp? We replaced it now.

Don't you sometimes feel like this.

Letting go. Taking flight.

To just fly.

Fly Fly Fly... Away!

Today's letting go: Keyboard.

The keys "1" and "2" don't work and it's been on the bookshelf for a couple of years. Today I got rid of it.

(It seems I use the key "A" a lot 😁)

Sometimes we have to let go...

His expression shows excitement, anticipation, and maybe a little trepidation...

We want to protect our children and shelter them, but...

The time will come when we have to losen our grip, and let them experience cause and effect.

It may only be the dragon ride at the carnival, but I find it to be an appropriate metaphor for life...

Lauff Music New Song "Satisfy" #lauff #imlauff

"Satisfy" is Lauff's newest single and his furthest venture into the genre of pop yet. Featuring a soothing piano melody guided by Lauff's curious desires of satisfaction, this track is sure to get stuck in the head of everyone who hears the synth filled chorus. Helped along by some bongos, bells, and arpeggiated hi-hats, the beat on this track is constantly transforming into something that guarantees you'll be foot tapping along till the end.
