A Gypsy

All this time, looking, searching for a place I can call my own… The need to have a peace of mind.. Fighting the gypsy circumstances..
The Great Ocean, the Send, the Dancing… That’s when I come to life, I shine with the purity of love and passion. Why, then, do I need a home? Why would I try and minimize myself to being in a relationship, choosing, calculating.. – My true happiness/shine seem to fade away when coming to an earthly agreement with fellow humans who love and adore and I love and adore…. and then I run… how do people tame and settle? And if it is about taming and settling, how will I live a long earthly life of happiness and sharing of the light instead of dying? How will I bring beauty and peace if I’m so scared of the invasion on, protective of my space… So scared of hurting them but I now know, I’d rather be alone then in someone’s golden cage. If only I had the courage to tell them…
Someone gave me a rose. It’s lived in my room over two weeks now… Fresh and fragrant, where does she get her life force from?
If this music, the dancing, the sharing and the loving brings me to my source, then yes, the fortune teller was right when saying I was a gypsy. And I say, I always will be. But I would call myself a courageous one once I learn how to fully be me even when all I want to do is run…

Just because you think you found the right person for you, doesn’t always mean that they feel you are the right person for them. That’s the challenge and the risk of opening up to someone, allowing yourself to become comfortable, even fall in love. And then one can ask and question, “I’m here, but you’re not? Where did you go left & I went right?” You can’t dial down feelings and we can’t turn back time. We can hope, even pray, that these intense feelings, desires & passions for that person, will subside if denied. That the ache in the heart will go away, that it will be filled with some other feeling, other than the love & happiness it once possessed. And then there’s the fear. The fear that if you close that door, that you will never allow it be reopened, even for that ‘imperfect’ perfect person, shall they discover that you are the one later in time. So you say to yourself, “Ok, I know the circumstances, I know they will never change, no matter how sincere the words.” So either accept it & be happy now or decide to change it, which would mean changing yourself, how you act, what you feel, what your dreams are, starting over. Is that a risk or a reward? No one knows the true definition of love or can one name the many different forms of love. Each and every one of us, only knows what we feel, what we define love to be. And the beauty of that…we don’t have to explain it to anyone but the one we love. You risk everything sometimes to come out with nothing. And so I’m going to go out on a limb here and say…I’m madly in love with you. ~ Author Unknown

I ADORE the idea of creating a menu to share with family & friends that otherwise wouldn’t have been introduced to this beautiful cuisine.
