For so long, I searched for my primary soulmate. All those years, I was living a half-life, and I never realized it until finally, I met her - let me rephrase that: I was reunited with her. I know deep inside that she is the most powerful force in my life... my heart, my soul, my muse, my comfort, my passion, my reason for being, my life, my eternity, my friend, my lover, my soulmate, my wife... my everything, and I love her, need her, want her, and cherish her more with every breath I take. We finish each other's sentences... we each know when there's something wrong... we love each other for who we are and who we are to each other. Our connection - our bond - goes far beyond blood, the law, or what is written in the stars... there is nothing that will keep us apart. Even from the distance we were from each other, she was here with me... fully surrounding me as I was surrounding her... within every facet of my being as I am within hers. Together, the completion remains... only now, it has grown stronger and continues to grow with every heartbeat. Her name is Arynne, and we were handfasted by an ordained high priestess in a beautiful grove of trees (mostly white birch) standing in a stream at Water Canyon outside of Winnemucca, NV in the presence of my best friend/sister and her husband and The Goddesses and Gods on July 18, 2008. I never realized I was capable of feeling so much or of feeeling all the things she makes me feel... feelings I don't even comprehend. I could never have dreamed of, imagined, hoped for, or even wished for someone so beautiful and totally perfect for me. I'm happier than I've ever been in my life, and this is only the beginning. My secondary soulmate - well, my primary soulmate on another level (yes, we have more than one soulmate!) has been my best friend for over 30 years... she is every bit as much to me as my primary. My commitment to my soulmate - both primary and secondary - is to need her, want her, respect her, protect her, take care of her, support her, and love her unconditionally and without end. It is rare that anyone is fortunate to even encounter a soulmate in a single lifetime. I am far beyond blessed to not only have encountered both of mine, but to constantly have them in my life.
My second most important desire, which in some ways should be my first, is to be accepted for who I am. I am a lesbian, I am Wiccan, I am predominantly apolitical though I am an active voter, I am Pro-Choice, and I'm proud of it. Trying to stick to one party is a waste of time and effort, and they're all good and all bad to some degree - I vote for whoever I think will do the best job and stands up for the most things that I believe in. Everyone should have the acceptance they deserve, and no one should be punished for being who they are, even if they are different by any standards. Race, religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation... all are superficial. We're all human... we're all connected to each other and every matter of life around us.
The tranquil romance of moonlit nights... the symphonic fury of thunderstorms in Autumn... the peaceful solace of snowfall on Christmas Eve... the humbling reminder of the mountains... the soft kiss of fog in the morning... the freedom of the wind... the serenity of the forest... the embrace of the ocean... the magic of sunrises and sunsets...
Music (all kinds)... movies... books... writing... games of almost any kind... driving well above the suggested speed limit on winding roads... cars... sports in general but mostly football (I have a thing for the Boston teams, especially the Patriots, but I've never BEEN to Boston - go figure!)... creating web pages and graphics... fonts... computers... the love of friends... communication... reaching out to help those in need... my family... our dog Pippin (he's an 8-month old Papillon with AKC papers an an attitude)... our new home in Coos Bay, OR (it's SOOOOOO incredibly beautiful here with the ocean, the trees, the perfect weather and just everything)... a few select TV shows (Xena: Warrior Princess, CSI - all, Criminal Minds, House, Charmed, Birds Of Prey, The L Word, Army Wives, Pushing Daisies, Six Feet Under, Moonlight)...
Merry meet and thank you for visiting my realm. It is a place to chat with friends, to share a little privacy with a significant other, or to meditate alone. Take care and please feel free to come back as often as you wish. I am constantly striving to make the realm a worthwhile place to visit and return to on a regular basis. I hope you will find something helpful, something informative, or at the very least something memorable among these pages.
I feel your presence, and it is greatly appreciated here ... Brightest Blessings To You All - Namaste,
