a little inspiration

i need to buy tickets to her show in seattle this spring. like, tomorrow. i missed out last time she was in town and i refuse to do so again this time. about two years ago when i was just starting to journey into my presence as a sexual being, i remember posting a video of her and just watching again and again, in complete awe, how quirky yet sensual this woman is. her voice. her movements. her songs. her sass. it's all just present for all to see. of course, she is scandinavian and they are legendarily wonderful at embodying their sexuality, but that doesn't in any way lessen her victory of self.

seeing here again reminds me of how far i still have to go. i still am only a fraction of the way there on my red dress days, much less all the ones in between.

i just figured out why you keep staying stuck (as you put it). it's because you keep comparing yourself to others. in truth, in the bigger scheme of all that is, there is no comparison. fully realizing this is the key to your freedom and power. as long as you keep doing it, you will stay stuck in powerlessness. you are already have all you need right NOW. you don't need to do or be or become anything better. once you finally let yourself surrender to that eternal truth, you will be astounded.

mmm....what a lovely dose of truth. to whom do i have the pleasure of receiving it from? did you leave off your name deliberately? no worries if you did.

thank you. that is a very keenly felt truth for me to hear tonight. i've been meaning to write a post that holds proof some part of me realizes what you say...hopefully i'll get to it tomorrow.

i feel like i want to write out your words large and force myself to read them daily for a bit.
