In my unabashed past when skin was thin and hair long and flowing, a sarong and a thong was all my goddess needed to feel enchanting. I was at the peak of femininity. Estrogen winds caressed my skin under the billowing skirt that I would flirt. I felt confident and strong. I owned the day all day long, and a few nights too. But, it was too good to be true. I fell in love, as goddesses often do, with a man that when it came to Goddesses hadn’t a clue. He’d never heard of such a crock, dismissed it as wacky woman talk. I thought the concept was simple I could simply explain… I tried to, again and again. But he just didn’t get it. I couldn’t fit it into his head. So slowly my Goddess faded from sight. Now, because of a lack of attention she’s dead. LGR©12/14/15 |

That 'gods' and 'goddesses' once existed in us is a magical refrain waiting for the sweetness of the melody to return, as it always does. Melody-birth-refrain-teenager-refrain-middle-age-refrain-old age-refrain-bucket-punt-end of tune Hold that window-shattering 'C' 'til you run out of breath Miss Lori! "88 bottles of beer on the wall..." She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Oh no, the Goddess in you may just be asleep for a while just to awaken again to a new golden time. Goddesses can't fade away, they are of resistant substance ... star dust, let's say! It was a joy to read you and I am looking forward to the awakening ... it will be explosive, no doubt! Love, Margherita |

Lori, I don't know anything about goddesses, but I do know you have a wonderful heart and soul, as you display in your writings. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

"But he just didn’t get it. I couldn’t fit it into his head". So I asked myself, him or me? So I faded him to black So? The Goddess lives once more. Sosueme. Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me! |

Kind sir, Apparently she was only sleeping. But, a voice from far away stirred her slumber. She is waking now. Still groggy and disheveled, she is smiling none the less. ~L |
