I somehow think this was also not the right answer. LOL ~ Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw

I could not stop for death & still won't! The imp wants mischief, the dragon feeding, the nymph a laurel tree to tend, a broom needing off the pink potion, a magic carpet to clean, breathing still to do, friends to love, & a beloved to thrill well past ecstasy. Schedules! Mustn't interfere with mine! lol ~ Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw

Imp's chain status naughtiness: I might not be your 51st, 72nd, or even 103rd choice, but I am here & still breathing. I don't pretend to be an angel, because I am great at being an imp.

I'm your friend, so I want to learn the song in your heart & sing it back to you when you forget the words. I'll just sing "la la la" on those parts.

Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw

Ask away. LOL ~ Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw

The last time I was in intensive care, I pretended to pole dance with the IV pole & other impiness. All, even the doctors despite themselves, just kept bursting out laughing at my antics.

Hey, it works so far. hehehe ~ Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw

16/03/11

Do you know what I love so much about mud? It's real. It squishes. It makes a wonderful mess. It can be shaped. It moves. It is fertile. It smells.

I say, let's get filthy together, ok? hehehe ~ Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw

Since the 60s, I wanted to dress in a "Daphne version" of Janis Joplin & Jimi Hendrix. It took me a few decades to do it... a tamer version, alas. Maybe one day I'll do the fuller version.

Sometimes it seems there is as much sorrow as joy during this time of year. There are loved ones gone until that forever reunion later. So many tears. Some even from remembered joys of long ago.

Please know you are loved. ~ Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw

A full moon shining then eclipsed while meteor showers & snow fall, a blood moon to light the beginning of winter while silence fills the mountain in a hush of awe makes my heart rejoice as I think of loved ones near, far, still here, long gone - all deeply loved, all being sent as much love as I can possibly send with words of peace, love, goodwill, & blessings forever. Come, glad winter. ~ Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw

Moment by moment I am training myself to respect all of me as a whole & worthwhile person. I am learning to turn scared into sacred.

26/01/11
I hated my body until I realized it was how I heard, saw, tasted, felt, smelt, & experienced life. Without my humble body functioning despite all it goes thru, I would not be here.

To get to know someone takes a lot of time, observation, & deep listening to all the communications - verbal, nonverbal, silences, presences, absences, more.

In the quiet dark, the stillness, the silence watches, listens to the yearning of my heart breaking. The untamed wild heart, tired of cages, outgrows confinement. Stretch to crack the shell.

Such a beautiful dog to be my friend, my sometimes nursemaid. ~ Daphne Yvonne Bradshaw

I am who I am in all my beautiful, frightening, funny, sad, mixed up mess of imperfection.
