Triggers

There are triggers... and then there are triggers. When the stars above shine on me, I am always aware that you trigger something within me. What you trigger is loving. You warm my heart and sometimes chase me away in sadness. But tonight you warm my heart. Thank you. I have been wondering many things. The universe has no interest in what I know, but occasionally peeks in to see how I've grown. That eye...is not accompanied by ears. Have you ever noticed that? I don't want to be left behind... and suddenly I'm that 16 year old girl and like a box of discarded items my parents moved several states away. That is mine, my emotional problem. I own that. So I send it back to it's source, return to sender, and bless him on his path. I am cleaning my field in the autumn of my life. working out shortcomings - appropriateness... buffing down and softening those hard spots, that have been misperceived as strength. Please don't misunderstand the love you trigger. It is appropriate, not the intimate kind, although it is personal. So I send you love. Yes, there are triggers... and then there are triggers. I seek out inspiration.
