With this ring I vow to..

Yesterday we exchanged vows in the presence of our dearest family and friends.
One of the loveliest days of my life, never to be forgotten..
It's a bit surreal this happiness I feel!

Off now for our honeymoon and I still have to pack,
so for now this short and sweet note.

wedding jitters

a strange blend
of excitement and stress
this is..

we're getting married this september 10th
and the joyful magic of it thus far
has exceeded my wildest expectations
and hopeful premonitions.

dad's flying across the continent
to represent
himself and mom
(god bless her soul).

this is Huge for me
as he's rarely made such an appearance
in this quiet life o' mine.

i got to try on my wedding ring the other day.
the magic of jewelery took hold
and i felt i never wanted to take it off..
18k rose gold
organically shaped
with a gorgeous lotus deeply engraved..
ahhhh..
cally says it's so me.

and now the upcoming expenses of hosting
so many friends and family members!
yikes.
i'm overwhelmed, unsure how we'll make it.
still, the Universe somehow always righteously provides
so this sly stress feels slightly more squelchable.

we're throwing a party in celebration of our wedding vows!
september 27th, 2008.
if you haven't yet gotten your rightful invitation,
blame my memory and not my heart.
nudge me and i'll send yours muy pronto.
it'd be a pure delight to celebrate with you!

more soon...

Cally got on bended knee last night and proposed!

"Yes I'll marry you!!" " was all I could say through such sunburst~~~

September 10, 2008 is the day we have in mind
marking exactly 7 incredible years.

::sweet sparkle to my step, shimmery sunshine to my sway and high gloss polish to my smilez::

it's truly been a wild ride
infused with beautiful bliss and rowdy rigor
for me and cally as a couple over these past several years..
still we find ourselves entirely committed
to facing a lifetime together full of more.~

even though our spirits seem to have been fatefully married since before day one,
it's an ::incredible honor::
to have our marriage grounded with ceremony, celebration
and (forGod'ssake) legalization!

Thankyouthankyou everyone for leaving me a note!!:

From the Beauty and Truth Laboratory

I'm happy to announce that this is a perfect moment. It's a perfect moment for many reasons, but especially because I have been inspired to say a gigantic prayer for all of you. I've been roused to unleash a divinely greedy, apocalyptically healing prayer for each and every one of you -- even those of you who don't believe in the power of prayer.
And so I am starting to pray right now to the God of Gods ... the God beyond all Gods ... the Girlfriend of God ... the Teacher of God ... the Goddess who invented God.

Dear Goddess, You who never kill but only change:

I pray that my exuberant, suave and accidental words will move you to shower ferocious blessings down on everyone who reads this benediction.

I pray that you will give them what they don't even know they want -- not just the boons they think they need but everything they've always been afraid to even imagine or ask for.

Dear Goddess, You wealthy anarchist burning heaven to the ground:

Many of the divine chameleons out there don't even know that their souls will live forever. So please use your blinding magic to help them see that they are all wildly creative geniuses too big for their own personalities.

Guide them to realize that they are all completely different from what they think they are and more exciting than they can possibly imagine.

Make it illegal, immoral, irrelevant, unpatriotic and totally tasteless for them to be in love with anyone or anything that's no good for them.

O Goddess, You who give us so much love and pain mixed together that our morality is always on the verge of collapsing:

I beg you to cast a boisterous love spell that will nullify all the dumb ideas, bad decisions and nasty conditioning that have ever cursed the wise and sexy virtuosos out there.

Remove, banish, annihilate and laugh into oblivion any jinx that has clung to them, no matter how long they've suffered from it, and even if they've become accustomed or addicted to its ugly companionship.

And please conjure an aura of protection around them so that they will receive an early warning if they are ever about to act in such a way as to bring another hex or plague or voodoo into their lives in the future.

Dear Goddess, sweet Goddess, You sly universal virus with no fucking opinion:

I pray that you will help all the personal growth addicts out there become disciplined enough to go crazy in the name of creation, not destruction.

I pray that you will teach them the difference between oppressive self-control and liberating self-control, awaken in them the power to do the half-right thing when it is impossible to do the totally right thing.

Arouse the Wild Woman within them -- even if they're men.

And please give them bigger, better, more original sins and wilder, wetter, more interesting problems.

Dear Goddess, You pregnant slut who scorns all mediocre longing:

I pray that you will inspire all the compassionate rascals communing with this prayer to love their enemies just in case their friends turn out to be jerks.

Provoke them to throw away or give away all the things they own that encourage them to believe that they are better than anyone else.

Show them how much fun it is to brag about what they cannot do and do not have.

Most of all, Goddess, brainwash them with your freedom so that they never love their own pain more than anyone else's pain.

Dear Goddess, You psychedelic mushroom cloud at the center of all our brains:

The curiously divine human beings reading this prayer deserve everything they are yearning for and much, much more.

So please bless them with lucid dreams while they are wide awake and solar-energy-operated sex toys that work even in the dark and vacuum cleaners for their magic carpets and a knack for avoiding other people's hells and their very own 900 number so that everyone has to pay to talk to them and a secret admirer who is not a psychotic stalker.

Dear Goddess, You fiercely tender, hauntingly reassuring, orgiastically sacred feeling that is even now running through all of our soft, warm animal bodies:

I pray that you provide everyone out there with a license to bend and even break all rules, laws and traditions that keep them apart from the things they love.

Show them how to purge the wishy-washy wishes that distract them from their daring, dramatic, divine desires.

And teach them that they can have anything they want if they'll only ask for it in an unselfish way.

And now dear God of Gods, God beyond all Gods, Girlfriend of God, Teacher of God, Goddess who invented God, I bring this prayer to a close, trusting that in these mysterious moments you have begun to change everyone out there in the exact way they've needed to change in order to express their soul's code.

Amen. Awomen. And glory halle-fucking-lujah.

A Wish : part 1

this mama bug is raging full blast and is officially outta my personal control.
every time i see a baby i turn into a puddle of "Awwwwwe n' Sighhhhh"s
how i've spent twenty some odd years
dodging those swimming seeds only to crave one
just the magic one
to synergize with me inside my fertile womb bombastic.

an ex said ten years ago
that if i'd ever want to have children
he'd help me to conceive.
tho' just when i gained enough determination to ask,
he flipped the script before i even put words to the inquiry..

a friend, one sweetly fine specimen of a beautiful man,
would be oh so choice
only we're all too hesitant
on account of interpersonal/professional relations
as well as dis-ease that's possibly genetic
and that part of me that says ask anyway
lays defeated by a more cautious air..
dang.

"why is it so hard to get hold of some sperm?"
i blurted without restraint one day.
a friend replied
"i've got sperm and i like you kaya. i'd be happy to give you mine."
his girlfriend and i turned to him in shock and fell silent.
"((that's sooo great but you're so so young and
i don't think you realize the profundity
of your spontaneous offer))" i thought to myself.
really though, i just couldn't see it
even when i tried to.. y'know?

Cally told me that a friend proposed with abandon
"i can help you two!!"
i imagined the surprised look on his wife's face
when he made such an exclamation!~
well after halfway wrapping my mind around the possibility,
i excused his exuberant expression of generosity
knowing it was more the wine that did the talking
rather than his clear mind.

i know i'll be mama in a year, maybe two.
i feel it in every ounce of my being.
i know i'll be a phenomenal one too ready to take on all challenges with great care
this feels for certain.
now i only wish i'd know which man to ask and/or to say Yes! to...
