End of the day

So the end of the day, we all gather together at the local watering hole, all sizes all shapes and forms, height, weight, color, green eyes, blue eyes, blondes, gingers, ravens, a mix of similar creatures with one goal, to relax at the end of a long productive day, be it from work or from play. Having in times past sat at home all the day, I can say, the end of a satisfying day of work or physical play, be it sports or music or whatever your taste desires, with friends and mates is far more mentally and physically rewarding. Mentally, taking pride in what you did to get you to this place at the end of a day, and physically, who doesn't enjoy that moment with friends, together enjoying a glass of soothing liquid, or perhaps a long pull at cigar to enjoy the rich flavor, oh that one I shall remember for a very long time and all with others of like mind.. take a moment to breath enjoy, smell the roses as they say, enjoy for tomorrow is not promised...

Battle of Self

Oh the magic, the fantasy, we fight the mighty fight of life, and from time to time we step into the ring and our opponent is ourself, we push ourselves, to test that edge of what is to much. In MA, we laugh when we have survived a class that has tested our limits, it prepares us for that one test that awaits, the infamous BB test, and again, it isn't test against a physical opponent, the opponent is yourself, the phrase, to those that are about to die, was a bit of a joke, for some of my best workout in MA were the hardest. Well tonight, I had one of those times, in the pretzel class, and when I tossed out the, "we who are about to die" should be posted at the start of some classes LOL. well, it was a bit of a zepplin LOL it is good to work through and beyond, perhaps that is my MA training, Yoga is a bit of a different animal, still, me I like it on the edge, test limits, and tonights was a test, one of the best classes I have enjoyed, looking forward to more, hey, I had one foot off the ground for a second in duck pose LOL more to come for life is life and what fun is life with out challenges!!

Sweet Dreams

shows were good, I did enjoy, and now time to lay down my head... the pics have rolled across my screen of beauty and pleasures, causing within the often felt yearnings for passion again, pics of scenes near and far, homes new and so old, comments pour in from likes i have given, others admiring and liking the same, a busy night of who said that and what might I have missed, it is strange the corridors of fantasy we walk, I walk, wondering sometimes why I am here, a few smiles that warm my day, yet many friends have merely slipped away. Life takes them, or a different love fills their hearts with fantasies and delight, at least till the next flavor of the day comes along. We play with hearts, never knowing the other face to face, we wonder about all the what ifs, and maybes, the if only and the long quiet inward sigh that resigns oneself to what is really true life. the life o those that surround you, family.. yet even they so often drawn away, all lost in our busy little worlds and yet each one seeking for that one, whose hand you might hold for a few, whose arms might return a hug a kiss, even if only here in this fantasy world... still we dream, we hope, and perhaps one day.. to often though we reach out and there is only air.. so taking wing, i do bid thee all a good night..

Dance

Life is about the dance, some have a bit of tragedy and some dance for joy, it takes a little of both in life, and we might hate the tragedy hoping only for the joy, but it is the moments of struggle that seem to make and shape us, that will grow us inside as well as outside. We work our bodies to shape, to tone to feel good, but those hours of work are not the easy hours, we can not gain shape staring at a screen, eyeball yoga, and eyeball martial arts, might make you think you can, but you have to do it. The same goes with life, we come and go in work in love in friendships, we devote to one, and this too takes work and is not without it's times of struggle, still we hold on, it is our nature we are islands and we are herds of people in need.. life is a dance, enjoy each step being it of struggle or pleasure it is what makes us uniquely us - PA

Wants

Saw a sign the other day, and it is so true, something I have believed in for a long time, and though I know, i still think i do just what the sign said, "We want what we can not have and what is right in front of us just waiting to be claimed and taken, we don't want, or we push away" It's as if when something is easy, then we reject it. Is this from the want of a challenge in life? I think not, the forbidden seems to have a draw on our attention, so many in and outs in life, men find it hard to understand a woman and women can't seem to figure a man out, perhaps we are to busy wanting what we can't have to realize what we can have is perfect for us and is there for the taking.. - PA

Day Job

Clients workers families, the juggling of time and space for each, family taking the back seat at times, so sad, yet clients must be served, is that the life we lead, such sad priorities, though I can not be with each hour of the day, in my hearts you shall always be, and foremost in my mind, so take a moment to kiss a cheek and touch the hair in warmth and delight, so many just waiting, the client can wait a little longer, the workers don't mind gathering at the fountain a moment longer while you take the time to tell each of those close your love for them.. have a fantastic day to all and enjoy this adventure we call life!! - PA

Hillside night

Remember when? oh how we often look back to a favorite memory, a memory of a time in our life, one of my favorites is still summer vacations laying on the side if a hill top, the city lights far away and so the stars seemed to fill the sky with endless depths. We might actually recognize a constellation, but i remember mostly we didn't care and between the occasional clouds, the star and the light of the money, cares were a long long way away, ah the days of summer between school years and the friendship of so many, and a time when time didn't matter so much, no rush, just peace.. memories, there ares so wonderful ones we have all made over the years, places , event, special days with a special friend, a night we talked so late into the night and I had to catch a plane the next day.. and on and on they do go, but the hillside will always remain, and the stars so far in our hearts so close... peace all - PA
