eugene celebration

okay, so i had a great day at the eugene celebration. the eugene celebration is exactly that, a celebration of all that is eugene. i got up late and didn't arrive at liz's place till right before 7, me being my anal self i was afraid we might not get parking and such, but we got perfect parking and then headed over to the library to watch the parade, take some pics and me get my hug from miriam.

i got my hug and more. yes, it was a fabulous day. the time i spent with liz couldn't have been better. and then for awhile we hooked up with miriam and that time was just as great. got to see her in a different light. she got to see me in a different light. (btw, miriam is also known as m. my massage therapist) needless to say i couldn't have asked for 2 better companions. we ended up at a drumming performance, the 3 of us dancing our hearts out in the back. i took pictures of my 2 companions in motion, those were the only 2 pictures of the day that really turned out well, imho, and if i get permission from them, i'll post them here.

the day ended in cottage grove, back at the spot that liz and i discovered last week for skinny dipping. the day was hotter than both of us expected, so we just decided to head south. perfect way to end the day.

i think liz ended up heading back to the celebration to watch women in blues, but when she called i told her i wasn't about to leave this couch. no, my body is exhausted, but my mind, unfortunately, is not. it is still trying to make sense of it all. the love that surrounded me this afternoon... between liz and miriam.. i couldn't have asked for more, and i'm simply honored that both of these women have entered my life in the way they have. and i've already been over, in different language the "are you for real?" with liz.. i'll probably do it with miriam too. the two of them just blow me away. and to have them together, even if it was for a short amount of time, just a couple of hours, for me, was simply wonderful.

as i said to liz on the phone tonight, i spent sometime tonight wrapping myself in the love of her and miriam tonight. that was nice. i can't wait till i see either of them again.

thank you goddess for sending them to me.

I sang for you
though you did not hear
and I sang to the tree spirits
asking them to release your fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing for you

I sing with you
though you may not hear
we sing for your spirit
may it rise above fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing with you

brooke
brooke is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).
