Another week has passed.  Life has been a roller coaster, but has levelled out now.  I can’t tell you how much Andarea means to me (yes, I spelled her name wrong earlier, and I think it sounds better this way anyhow).  Our struggle now is in convincing Andy that he belongs here.  He has been a great help to both of us, but does not believe in himself or what we see in him.

Andarea has asked that we be handfasted the end of October.  She still has not met any of my SerpentStone Family, so we are not clear on who will priestess the ritual.  It would be better to wait, but I do tend to follow my lady’s wishes.

Frankie is finally out of the hospital and resting at home.  Her new feet are holding up fairly well, but she is having challenges.  She gets a new nurse and nurse aide tomorrow.  I hope they can help get her life back in order.

Andarea and I have been doing a LOT of work with the homeless.  She gives me something I have not given myself before — the ability to go out and mix with the homeless in the park.  It has been quite a stretch for me, but I seem to be adjusting.  We have also discussed her taking over my job as President of AHN.  Maybe in a couple of months, or maybe it will wait until the elections in June.  You probably remember me saying that I wasn’t the right person for the job… maybe in a few months I will be, but Andarea is a tireless worker despite the pain she is in, and they accept her more easily than me.

I wrote my first new song in at least a couple years.  That in itself is frightening, since every woman I’ve written a song for has left me… but this is not directly a love song to her … and is a lot darker than I’ve ever written.  It sounds almost medieval in melody, with sparse but effective lyrics.  I’ll post it later, or you can visit my website and read it (Title: Blood Love).

I hope all your lives are going the way you would like.

Hugs,
Me

For You

Because I think of you more than you know
But I think you do know
I whisper like the wind in the corners of your heart
I remind you of how much you want me
Need me
Scream for me in the empty recesses of your barren soul
You are mine
I am yours
Forever
and you know it
I smile in the corners of your mind when you’re happy
When you are happy, I am happy
I think of you more than you know
But you’re always aware of me
You’ll always care for me
You can run and you can hide
But I’m always there
There’s no where you can go that I won’t find you
Because you take me with you
Wherever you go, I am there
Wherever you’re not, I too am there
I think of you more than you know
I belong to you and you can’t deny it
Seek me
Allow me
Know me
Give in to me
I think of you more than you know
Will you let me love you?
