Simultaneously

Me On a Monday


This is me on a Monday.

I forgot to take a shower...but I think I did the neti pot.

I had a smoothie for breakfast, and one with my lunch.

My doggie and I climbed to the tippy top of a mountain by our home. We sat up there and tried to count roof tops and instead enjoyed the sky as it breezed around our bodies simultaneously.

I painted all afternoon....
and as I type this there is cerulean blue under my finger nails.

I like it better this way.

I like it when the day describes my schedule
instead of penciled demands in a maroon date planner
dictating my energy.

There is no reason it needs to be a certain way
just because that's what the cool kids on the block are up to.

I've been thinking about a revolution...and letting it go simultaneously.

Just like when me and my doggie sit on top of the world--
caught in a morning breeze.

We exist as queens of our Universe
and simultaneously chained to the things
we keep foolishly believing.

Well, maybe not her-
but certainly me.

I did simultaneous too, house needed painting, sigh, but to break the monotony I went into my wonderbubble and shot pics between coats!

If there were just more time in the day we could be the queens of our universe and The masters of cleaning, cooking blah blah blah...but I'm cool with just painting! I'm glad your settling into yourself more fully!
