My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. – Hank Aaron
Blessed be the longing that brought you here
And quickens your soul with wonder.
May you have the courage to listen to the voice of desire
That disturbs you when you have settled for something safe.
May you have the wisdom to enter generously into
your own unease
To discover the new direction your longing wants
you to take.
May the forms of your belonging — in love, creativity
and friendship —
Be equal to the grandeur and the call of your soul.

– John O’Donohue
there’s so much more to me 😊
than the color of my eyes 👁👁
the curve of my lips 👄
I am full of wild:
flowers 🌸
and
fires 🔥
/
desire 😈
and
laughter😄
/
passion 💃🏻
and
purpose 📚
the natural cravings of life:
love ❤️
and
touch 🖐🏼
/
home 🏡
and
protection 💪
/
to be fully known
and
accepted
I carry in my bones:
music 🎼
and
poems ✏️
/
pain 🙁
and
sorrow 😢
/
healing 💝
and
hope 💓
I ache with the need to share:
darkness 🌓
and
light 🌗
/
work 👷🏼
and
play 💑
/
faith 🙏🏻
and
friendship 👫
I think about you all the time 😍
today I wonder…
what happens next? ⁉️
only time will tell 🕰
❣
AL
life: acoustic & amplified 
Someone once said “You had me at ‘Hello’.”
I say “You had me at ‘desire…laughter….passion….purpose;
love and touch’.”
I knew….
