Physical or mental
They seem to be one and the same at this point.
A nice quiet corner in a safe place.
Physical or mental
Same
Does that scare you?

In a year
So much can happen in a year..
New friends
New job
Thoughts, feelings… ok those change all the time, so may not count.
However some of us don’t make the year.
I’m so grateful to be here again on this day meant for love.
For I do love.
To my dear friend, who will always reminds me on Valentine’s Day.. of unrequited love.
I hope you are feeling all the love you wished for while you were here with us.
Peace and so much love,
Raq
Change
Have I the courage?
I’m walking uphill both ways, it hurts
I bury my heart here in this dirt
I hope it’s a seed, I hope it works
I need to grow, here I could be
Closer to light, closer to me
I don’t have to do this perfectly
✌️❤️

Fall on me
So I did a thing
Took off alone much to the chagrin of some.
Hard headed I’m told. But it seems to be a family trait.
Maybe I would rather enjoy this time as I choose, with whom I choose.
Maybe I weighed the feelings in my heart and this is what it chose.
I’ve no regrets. Wait, maybe the only regret is that it wasn’t longer.
It was easy and life should be this way, in my opinion anyway.
This came home with me,
As did the memories held within.
I didn’t realize the feelings I had pent up about it all until I walked up the hill this morning, heard this song and had a massive melt down. The lyrics… broke me.
The goal….. happiness….
With all my life,
Raq
Go on and leave
Bad Bunny!!!
Least that’s what he said 😆
So when you just need a new song to get moving to and you have stuffs going on.
The Universe speaks!
Doors closing and new ones opening…
Ahhh la vida!
so much peace and love,
Raq
Love and Rumi
Rumi always has the quote… right?
Always a bit of comfort in those words.
Why yes.. yes I do…
“If you want to be more alive, love is the truest health.”
I have to agree 🙂
“Lovers don’t finally meet somewhere. They’re in each other all along.”
Now that’s beautiful.
Why do you stay in prison
When the door is so wide open?”
Good question.
Right!? So beautiful.
Yeah… so few realize this.
Ok I’m down!
Yes, this is good to know…
This last one is my favorite. There’s a comfort in it.
“Whatever lifts the corners of your mouth, trust that.”
Yeah baby!
Life is a crazy whirlwind of love, and happiness. I may moan and groan about having love in my life. But, there’s only that one love that actually matters. So never settle. In the meantime, everyday is a gift and should be enjoyed to the fullest.
✌️❤️

PS
There are many other Rumi quotes just as beautiful as these. I suggest you check them out. No music since his words are their own melody.
A chill in the air
It’s 27 degrees and for the past 3 days I have been laid up with the flu? Cold? Sinus infection…. Let me just say I have not felt this bad in what? Forever? I was in and out of consciousness for a couple days with fever, chills, and sinus pain so bad my teeth ached. But this cold sunny morning…. I’m gonna hit the trail. Of course I feel a little better.. 😏 Original idea was to go to the gym for a class. But let’s face it they don’t deserve this germ… no one does.
I’m tired of laying around. Breathing may be a problem. It’s cold! My chest is all tight and have a little cough. So I took off and wheeze, then a little higher, dang I better not get sicker… guy passes me in sweats, jacket, gloves, hat.. me in shorts, tank, light jacket.. 😆 I get harassed all the time about this. So I took the trail that goes straight up. It was hard, at first. Then I’m all in the stride.. listening to music and before you know it I’m at the top sweating like I’ve been running. Yeah, that was the plan and I feel amazing. 
The guy from earlier in sweats and I connect on the path again, and he says aren’t your hands cold? No sir, in fact I’m sweating… heh. As I near the bottom here he comes again. He says have a good day and dismisses me like I know your done… well not today Mr! I took the trail straight back up, yes I did. Cuz I’m a bad ass… all sick and stuff. Dancing and walking all the way. Got that sweat on! The best thing about not having someone to lean on is not needing anyone to lean on. Just get stronger everyday.
✌️❤️

What’s it like
To have that person you talk late into the night to? About anything…
Share music with…
Share a hope of the future with…
To have your person say, get up! Let’s go see the snow…
Watch the sunrise/sunset/stars
To kiss with abandon…
To choose you first…
What’s it like?
New Year!
Ultimately the goal will be the beautiful words in this song… there’s always a song you know… 😆
I’ll be sippin’ Mai-Tais
Looking back at my life
Remembering the highlights
Thinking how the time flies
I’ll be watching sunsets
And I won’t have one regret
It’s hard to see it at the moment
But in the end I know that
I’ll be sippin’
So much peace and love
