a layer of armor

lonely

embraces sweetness underneath

loves through the armor

A Bridge Too Far? BEE Open to Love + elfchen poem

A bridge too far?

As in, Bridge, you went too far with your fart video last week!

I don't think so, but this week I present to you, a classic love story...

My elfchen (elevensie) poem to accompany this week's video pretty much describes my marriage, too! πŸ’—


sandwiched

two distinct

flavors become one

stuck to each other

forever

BEE Loud + elfchen poem

The March winds have blown in an irreverent (but funny!) video and poem sharing...a love letter of sorts for my Joe. πŸ’“

(IMHO, humor about one of the most universal bodily functions can give us the relief we need from our constant state of worry and fear about the world...at least for a few seconds.)

I wrote two (slightly different) versions of my elfchen (elevenie) poem to accompany this video. 

Which do you prefer?


Laughter

relieves pressure

from our discomfort,

disrupts our worry cycle.

Silly.

Fart,

relieve pressure

from your discomfort.

Disrupt your worry cycle,

laugh.

Camera Roll (less than) 23: Solstice Song

 I originally wrote this poem in 2016, but it still resonates today. 

I continue to raise my voice for global peace...

(though if you heard my singing voice you'd ask me to lip-sync as did my 9th grade Music teacher, Sister Carmen! πŸ˜›)
