This past weekend, I was revisited by that horrible goblin from childhood named “NoNoNotOneOfUs”, otherwise know as NcubedOsquaredU! Pheee-ouuuu!
See, I was not invited to help hostess a party in honor of a close friend. Anyway, walking/meditating/just BE-ing for a while resulted in my friend and I having a most rewarding one-to-one visit, gift-giving, and presentation poems treasured!
So, here is my little verse that seems to be working pretty well to slay the dragon of the outsider hocus pocus dance.
BEING UNSTIRRED,
UNBLENDED, UNMIXED–
LEFT IN THE REFIGERATOR
FAR BACK CORNER.
THE SINGLE EGG, SORT OF PALE TAN,
SORT OF BUMPY-SHELLED–
REMAINS ALONE, UNSELECTED,
OUT OF SIGHT, UNREMEMBERED.
“WHAT WILL BE MY “USE-BY” DATE?
DO I HAVE A DATE?
“WHAT IF I CRACK? WOULDN’T
I THEN MAKE A GOOD BREAKFAST
TO START A BETTER DAY?
“QUICK! HELP ME ROCK AND ROLL!”
Anyway, I am rocking and rolling with all of you bloggers, sharing in a true community! Thanks be!

I hate it when that happens. I think you handled it beautifully.
You are so right about the community. It’s wonderful, isn’t it?

Thank you so much for your thoughtful words of encouragement. Stay in community, okay?

I always felt sorry for the stuff left alone in the back of the fridge!
Nov 16, 2011 @ 02:36:39
Yes, even an egghead such as myself! Thank you for your much needed empathy!

You handled yourself with dignity and beautifully.. you were meant to spend that one on one time with your friend…
Thank You for your wonderful comment and visit…

Savira, I am SO indebted to you for your approval of my resolution to that “egghead” leftoutofit situation. I look forward to visiting with you often.

You are no “Egg” 😉 my new friend… And like your friend Savira said, you were meant to have one to one with your friend…
Now you have made me think! —— What is lerking at the back of my Fridge! hehe…
Have a Great Day And thank you for you comments upon my pages granbee I need to let my fingers do the walking around and catch up — Time where does it go?..
Love and Blessings ~Dreamwalker 🙂

Oh, please, let us not waste time wondering about the back of my actual-life fridge! See, if I take a day off for housecleaning, I simply will not be able to keep up with my own writing and the posts of my treasured writer’s community online!

One door closes…and another opens…good to search out what has been neglected…
I love this…fun and meaningfull.

Thank you, bardess! I had hoped that post would transmit to others as “fun and meaningful”. Yes, we should never be so focused on the closed doors that we pass right by the open ones!

Raises the question: if you were an egg or a cup of yogurt with your expiration date tattooed on your butt, would you look?
Nov 17, 2011 @ 15:16:28
Yes, I sure as heck would look (assuming I had my same overly introspective personality) to see how soon I would either start stinking or getting all runny-separated-no-longer-spoony-uppy!
