Welcome to GirlieOnTheEdge. The real first line that came to mind this morning? “Well fuck me!” Not in the literal sense of course, but in that “holy shit, you’ve got to be fucking me, no way in hell” kinda way.
Nasty intro I know but guess what? Sometimes life is “nasty”. Sometimes a “wake up call” or the “light going off” or the “just for a split second” happens and well, you react. Like I did a few minutes ago.
What happened? I’m sitting on the bed looking at the clock. 6:09 am. I’m telling myself I can get out of here by 6:30. The Pope’s in town and traffic is supposed to be a bear. I fire up the way back machine and as is my morning habit, I write my words. They were “heavy” today. Infused with the intent of living a life that is not this one, that is more the other one. You know, the one I almost had, the woulda, coulda, shoulda had. The one I’m living right now on a parallel timeline.
Fine and dandy. This morning’s words were about intentions, will. I insist therefore I am, ya know? I close out and open the Google. 1st up is e-mail. Only 2 waiting for me. It was the second that dropped me. Seems someone repinned one of my posts. Liila repinned I’m Just a Girl.
Trust me when I say the significance of this e-mail sitting in my in box this morning is by no means a fluke. No…nosir. Magic, coincidence, synchronicity, a “sign” – whatever name you attach to events that illicit an immediate “holy shit”, in the gut response, ya better run with it people. Run.
As I must now. Today is the only day my friends. The only one that counts. Don’t waste it. Embrace it.

You know what I love about you? Your ability to write in the raw. I could take some lessons there. 😉
I love your way with words and your selection of music, too. 😉
Hope ya don’t get caught by the Popemobile! 😉

I don’t know what that means (write in the raw) but thank you!
You are a kindred spirit Cyndi 🙂
Supposedly he arrived at Andrews Air Force Base at 4 today. Tomorrow will be the traffic test 😀

You probably weren’t ready to acknowledge what others begun to see in your writing but it was there…and It Is Your Voice…of a Girlie On The Edge.
I believe I have stated that numerous times but one more wouldn’t hurt:
the gravitational force that goes through your written words and beyond them. Anyone who reads them finds him/herself pulled in; raw refers to the unfiltered, blunt, honest barrage of consecutive volleys of letters grouped into words, forming sentences, exploding thoughts.
And suddenly you (the reader) find yourself wondering a) how did I get here (subtle yet inescapable 😉)
b) I am glad I am here (identification 😉)
c) wow…there is a way after all to start with “Well fuck me” and end with “Embrace it” and feel afterwards like walking through a hurricane, only to find your place at its calm center…and just sit there, listening to your own voice picking up the threads of yours.
See m’lady, we are after all nothing but imperfect particles of Cosmic Debris.
As such we are too small to understand the reasons behind every step of our cosmic dance.
Yet, as imperfect as we may be, we are equally fucking glorious…if not for anything else but for our persistence to claim each day as our own, despite not knowing if its gonna be our last…or, exactly because of that.
On rare occasions some cosmic particles collide and get entangled.
When? How? Why?
《Magic, coincidence, synchronicity, a “sign” you wrote with an insight you do believe in…an insight you were going to put to the test again, in your future.
“I don’t know what that means (write in the raw)”…
…you do now, don’t you?
And I am beyond thankful (and more that this comments section is too small to harbor ) that you are here. With us. The imperfectly glorious spec of stardust.

No, that was not a simple “Like”. So much more.
Your words are beautiful and encouraging and enlightening! You shine a light on something I did not see and struggle to this day, to see. The positive effect of my words. I hope I’ve not lost my “voice”, Nick.
How true “we are after all nothing but imperfect particles of Cosmic Debris”.
Here’s to Cosmic Debris.
