Fantasy

Fantasy – I wrote it years ago, but I admit without help it wouldn’t sound half as mediocre-okay as it does.

Fantasy

Late night I hear the calling
Of the vast rolling sea
The waters capture the seashells
Then they pull away from me
Should I heed the maidens
To harmonize as they sing
I’d risk falling and drowning
While the sky covers me
It’s only the sea

[Chorus]
I cannot be what you want me to be
I will not sing what you want me to sing
It’s only the sea

When the moon is rising
With a wolf chasing me
Running where the leaves fall
From the sleep laden trees
I will not stop to hurt him
Nor let him cut or capture me
I’m not lured by his fury
I prefer the peaceful green
He’s only a beast

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Far down in time’s echoes
Innocence waits for me
Wrapped in the shadows
From a touch trembling
If I sprung the trap there
Illusions lie would come clean
Why bleed for false causes
Solid fights need the ring
It’s only a dream

[Chorus]
I cannot be what you want me to be
I will not sing what you want me to sing
It’s only a dream
I cannot be what you want me to be
I will not sing what you want me to sing
It’s only a dream
It’s only a beast
It’s only the sea

It’s offers a (usually) safe drug-free way to touch the divine. Holistic health method work well alongside the path. The spiritual ecology at the time the book was published provided fertile ground.

 

The Page of Cups

For certain family members who believe that I never really used my degree, I should like to present… the time I wrote about getting drunk with as much brains as possible. For those of you who think being smart about drinking is not possible, I should let you in on a cool little secret: jello […]

 

Oily Benefits

I’ve been making things from scratch, but during the days I played with making and selling soap (that everyone does so I left them to it) I realized that the donkey milk soap base you get makes simply *the best* soaps for my purposes. It was 40% off today, so I got a big block with a simple goal: gather my oil blends and make a liquid soap face wash.
