Back and ready to rock!

2011-04-19T14:30:00.000-07:00

Hello friends!
I know its been while since Ive posted. I am so happy to be back after a successful run of "Master Class" in old town Sacramento where I was honored to play the part of "Sophie" a voice student, in a brilliant play written by Terrance McNally about famous Soprano/opera Singer, Maria Callas! It was a paid "gig" and my first show where I earned equity points so very exciting. I will never forget my experience with Capital Stage Theater and especially the amazing leading lady Janis Stevens. we were given four stars in the Sac bee and were extended a full week due to its success! Needless to say, I had to take a break from the production of my album due to there only being so many hours in a day! Between being a Momma and actor/singer -my plate was really full! Im ready to get back on track with "Broken Vessel" though and things are already set in motion!
The JJ Hellar concert that I am blessed enough to be opening for is rapidly approaching! May 19th is right around the corner and the goal is to have my official website up and running compliments of Jeremiah Cooper as well as an album to put in your hands by that date! I get back in the studio tomorrow night and will be discussing a plan and schedule with great sound engineer, Curtis Meyers, to get the the recording part of the album polished and ready to Master. May 2nd is my photo shoot for the album and website! Thank Thankyou to Sarah Dawson-AMAZING photographer and friend who is driving to knights Ferry with me taking my pictures! The talented and lovely Danielle Parker will be driving down as well to do my hair and makeup. Thank you Ladies!
I wanted to invite you all to my church this Easter Sunday, I will be singing the same set of songs that I am singing at the JJ Heller concert and taking a "Love offering" that will go directly to the production of my album: travel expense, printing costs, cd covers and production etc. The location is Grimes Community Church and the service starts at 10 am.
Thank you all for your love and support stay tuned!!

I want to belong
but not possessed
I want to feel safe
but not sheltered
I want to be loved
but not owned
I want to be free
but not alone
i want to be held
but not imprisoned
i want to be wanted
but not craved for
I want to be trusting
but not naive
I want to believe
but don't want to be decieved
I want to hope
but don't want to hurt
i want so badly to fly
but don't want to fall

Nature's Course

2010-02-09T00:45:00.000-08:00

Like sand
you slip away through my fingertips
that faint glimmer of hope
is now just one grain, lost among trillions

Like raindrops
you fall from my fragile graces
that small seed of love
sprouting, is now washing away, drowning in my tears

Like plucked flowers
we seem to be fading away
that once fragrant bloom
is now stale and brittle, crumpling in our hands

Like a Tree
we have fallen
once strong and alive
we have become rotten with disease

Like brewing storms
We have reached full impact
our delicate remnants of a home
are now devastated and destroyed

I suppose all that is left for us
is to let Nature,
Take its Course!

Naked

2010-01-22T14:19:00.000-08:00

Imperfect but glorious
Flawed and sacred
scarred yet untouched

Strong but vulnerable
Cold and warm
Proud yet unsure

Uncovered but hidden
Beautiful and ugly
Admired yet scrutinized

Free but confined
confident and unsure
Wanted yet discarded

Brave but still afraid
Braisen and quiet
Bold yet Demure

Obvious but mysterious
built up and let down
comfortable yet unsettling

but most of all....
Anti climactic ;)

Sudden change of Scene
An awakening
unexpected and welcome
A new day dawning

Feeling alive again
Senses are keen
warm and aware

Mind bright and soul on fire
Heart glowing with love once more
A love for life
Thriving and free

Hope is restored
and peace is nearby
quitely there to comfort and soothe
My beautiful garden is waiting.

Rip it off

Quickly, before its too late

This wound is trying to heal

and needs air

Feel the sharp sting

The adhesive tears from the skin

once needed to stay intact

no longer serves its purpose

D0 it quickly

It hurts worse if you peel it slowly

like a child you don't believe me

there is that fear of the pain

trust me

it was comfortable there

for a while

safe and protecting the wound

but now the wound is rotting underneath

the suffocating layers

Tear it away

Let the wound breath Dammit

It needs to breath

to be exposed

It will only be a second

Go ahead and cry

savor the saltiness

Healing tears

Feel the sting

as they fall on the wound

Potato Nonsense

Potato Nonsense

Where are the answers to these questions?

I have not looked far enough yet,

that much I know,

to give in to a life bound by doubt and queries

Something in me tells me there is more

More, or maybe less....huh, now there's a thought....

This is not good enough for me

This existence driven by vain pursuit

of something

But where to start?

What do i strip away first

to get to the root

the heart

the essence

the truth

What happens when it feels done

like an over boiled potato....

falling apart and disintegrating....

meal, bland, and worst of all....

waterlogged!

Full of too much of a good thing and made useless.

Maybe I should end this poem now

Its moving into something about a root vegetable

is a potato actually a root vegetable?

Ah, back to that....

Getting to the root

the heart

the essence

the truth.

Where is She?

Can you find her?

Do you seek her unsurpassed beauty?

Where is her song?

Can you hear it?

Are you listening for her sweet and strong melody?

Where is her bounty?

Can you taste it?

Are you hungry for her feast?

Where is her eternal fountain?

Can you see it?

Are you thirsty for her intense and cool waters?

If you seek her you will find her

She is there

Hiding in the crevices of The Rock

There, in the shade of The Glory

There, a piece, in the corner of your heart

A gift from the One who made you.

To see a glimpse of her face,

will end your lonely searching

To hear a note of her song,

will soothe your most intense longings

To have even a taste of her fruits,

will satisfy your deepest hunger.

Where is She? Can you find her? Do you seek her?

Victory

2009-04-14T00:04:00.000-07:00

Victory

The true victory to be had

Is when the Empire of our minds

crumble to dust

When we vanquish the foes

of doubt and of fear

When the starry mass of our thoughts are brought together

under the One True Star

When our battle worn hearts can take shelter in the fortress of

Faith and Divine Love

We surrender as His Conquests

we raise our guilt- stained bloody flags

white as snow

He is Victorious

We are Free

Together for Eternity

You Were There

2009-03-23T10:27:00.000-07:00

You were there

It was there

small and fragile

It was there

hopeful and waiting

It was there

fighting but failing

To Thrive

It was there

But now

it is gone

I miss it

without ever knowing

what it would have been

I wonder

looking back now

how it might have changed me

I still cry

for the loss of it.

For the emptiness inside

It was there

But now

It is gone.

I don't know that I ever said goodbye

or ever will be able to...

so Goodbye for now, till the next time

My heart becomes heavy

with the weight of your absence

You were there,

But now you are gone

Goodbye-

for now.

My Child.

There is Beauty

2009-02-25T00:13:00.000-08:00

There is Beauty

There is beauty beneath

There is peace beyond

beneath what is hideous

beyond what is madness.

For in the heat of battle

Hope can be tasted-

like sweet honey

on the bitter tongues of the war wearied.

There is a promise of

reconciliation after transgression,

restoration after despair,

resolution after conflict.

So, don't be afraid of what is bad.

Embrace it-

long enough to learn, that

out of it, comes the true good.

Don't cower from what is painful

For IT is what makes us strong.

There is beauty beneath

There is true love beyond.

Let us find it together-

You and I.

Oasis

They are waiting for me

Somewhere far away

In the immeasurable distance

of space and time

They are waiting for me

Glistening pools

the color of emeralds, sapphires, dawns and sunsets

Calm and Cool

Inviting and Serene

They are waiting for me

and someday

even farther away

when I find my way through

I will lay down beside them

I will feel their warm and perfect waters

playing in my toes and creeping playfully up my legs

I will immerse myself in the mesmerizing silence

hearing only their low gentle lapping sounds

I will finally and peacefully fall, resting on their safe shores.

What More?

2009-02-21T00:58:00.000-08:00

What more?

When there are no words,

When meaningful succulent articulation desists

When beautiful expression has no safe place to lay her weary head

When fear and mistrust are the only ones having their say....

When unscrupulous conclusions are drawn

When every soul is caged-

by guilt and condemnation

When every voice is silenced-

by utter despair and deafening anguish

When every heart is broken into unrecoverable shards-

carelessly dropped or violently thrown by the fallen hand of another

What more can be said?

And what difference could it possibly make?

Truth

2009-01-27T22:13:00.000-08:00

Truth

Truth is deafening to ears who's comfort is in lies

Truth is a sweet song to the hearers of it's dissonant tune

Truth can be terrifying to face

other times a welcome relief

Truth can be debilitating to accept

but freeing to those who can embrace it's gifts

Truth's lessons are an admirable endeavor

life long and painful.

Living by Truth is something to die for

Dying for Truth is to live

freely

honestly

honorably

Lovingly

Truth is a friend to Lovers of love

an enemy to the weak and hateful

Truth is a fierce Lion, making even the strongest cower

if they are hiding from it

Truth's light is blinding

to those who don't walk in it

and sometimes even to the ones that do

Truth shines her light into every corner of every heart

searching for her lover there -

her companion

will she find one in yours?

Remember When?

I Remember when things were different

I Remember when we sat there

I asked you questions about the stars and planets and the universe

you always had the answers

I Remember when life wasn't so complicated
I Remember when love was easy

I Remember when we could answer

a), b), c), d)

I Remember when you thought I didn't like you

I Remember when we were both hopeful for new life

I Remember when you got it first

I Remember when we took each other for granted

I Remember when we lost each other for a time

And, I Remember when we found one another again

This time my friend, for good.

Why This sadness?

2009-01-12T10:30:00.001-08:00

Why This Sadness?

Why this sadness?

He asks

with perceptive simplicity

His eyes glimmering with hope and sincerity

that my answer or search thereof

will lead to enlightenment

My answer is welling up inside

My heart is crying out the answer

but my lips can't articulate it

I am left to answer lamely

“I don't know”

but, I do.

This sadness is for love lost

This sadness is for love that may never be

This sadness is for shattered hopes

This sadness is for the pain of words spoken

This sadness is for words that will never be uttered

This sadness is for broken hearts and promises

This sadness is for the bitter disappointment of unmet expectations

This sadness is for the realization of what has happened

This sadness is for dreams that will never come true

This sadness is for an ending that may not be “Happily Ever After”

This sadness is for this thing we call life, and for our pathetic failed attempts to love one another the way we ought

Why this sadness?

Because it is the human lot

Because sometimes the most beautiful things can grow from a heart of true sorrow

For in sorrow comes reflection and in reflection comes perspective and articulation of feeling

And with articulation of feelings comes expression

and with expression comes understanding

and with understanding comes reconciliation

and perhaps a new beginning

for that happy ending.

A Rose's Lot

2008-12-30T23:13:00.000-08:00

A rose cannot ask to be picked

Imprisoned by the bush it belongs too

and the root system from which it has grown to thrive

It is quite helpless

One Rose may cry to be left alone to grow and flourish

while another Rose begs to be plucked and given to passionate romance and a fleeting life

Both pleas go undetected

A rose may reach out to an admirer,

but its slight movement is mistaken

for the affects of a subtle breeze

A rose is one of those creations.

a victim of fatal theft

left to the whim of the one who has the power to pluck it

A rose, once plucked becomes regarded as only an object of admiration and desire

A common token of affection

Taken and given to be enjoyed for a short time

before it fades, whithers, and dies

An easy symbol of ones ardor for another

Every Rose has a story.

And, Before one plucks,

One should remember

A rose has thorns

natures attempt to protect its vulnerable beauty

To ward off those in search of an easy prize

And to remind the taker that the confiscation of this fragile bloom is not to be taken lightly

but rather painstakingly

with great care

Words

2008-12-12T23:59:00.000-08:00

Words

Isn't it profound, when you stop to think about the power that one human can have over another with words? And that the power that we have over each other depending on the context of the words spoken and heard can have such contradictory affects on the outcome of our hearts, our souls, our minds, our world...forever?

Words can wound deeply and cause pain, sorrow and grief

Words can be a healing balm to one's soul and bring comfort and joy

Words can bring war and enmity and sometimes unrecoverable decimation of one's world

Words can speak peace and friendship and hope for one's life

Words can cause hollow loneliness resulting in cold indifference

Words can bring fulfillment and bring a kindred, almost cosmic warmth along with passionate swells of emotion

Words can be nothing but empty promises and disappointments

Words can be everything that is trustworthy, sincere, and good

Words can bring Darkness and Deception

Words can bring Light and Truth

Words can bring imprisonment and damnation of mind, body , and soul

Words can bring Truth, Freedom, and Redemption

All this being said,

One might reason that there should be rules about the words we choose, who we choose to speak them to, and the timing in which we choose to speak them.....someone with enough wisdom and discretion to monitor or mediate these powerful dictions. But, there is no such supreme being and no such rules. Even if our choice leads to the most devastating of circumstances to ourselves or others...the words we speak our ultimately by our own choice.

One then, should choose wisely the words he/speaks to another for they may carry a greater meaning and power than you will ever know.

Buried Treasure Part 2

2008-11-29T23:04:00.000-08:00

Buried Treasure (part 2)

Was it safe?

this treasure I had found

could I trust myself with its safe keeping?

Or, would greed overtake me

Someday, in midst of trial

would I exploit this sacred find?

I thought of the life it could bring me

Riches, fame, status.

All that one could dream of and hope for

Could I trust myself?

Did I want even want what this treasure could bring me?

Surely it would not come without great sacrifice to the simple life I had come to love

For even the simplest minded must know that greatness does not come without such sacrifice.

I pondered this for a moment

maybe more

Its hard to say for sure, just how long

Time stood still as waves lapped in the distance.

I made my decision.

and before I could change my mind I started digging

I did not even afford myself the time to ponder the irony of it all

Me digging with all the pursuit of a crazed pirate looking for the treasure that I became transfixed with burying.

I dug deep

deeper

and deeper

My bare hands clawing at the the damp sand.

I dug until the safety of this treasure was secured

And, this is what I did.

I buried the treasure

for safe keeping

for another time

for another life.

I came across a treasure once

in my journeying

I was not digging

piracy was not my pleasure

From the distance I could see its beauty

It was there laying in the sand

glimmering

mysterious

foreboding

Drawing nearer to the treasure

My heart pounding, I knew

this was a a rare find

priceless

the stuff of legend

thought not to exist

As I reached out my hand to take it

something about its splendor warned me

that it was not to be possessed

I decided it prudent to leave it where it lied

for another passerby

I started to walk away but couldn't

While dangerously beautiful

this treasure was also vulnerably precious

In need of protection

So, this is what I did

The only thing there was to do in my mind at the time

I picked it up

Carefully

Deliberately

with a heart of sacred care

not of greed

I wrapped it in plain brown paper

for safe keeping.

...cause we are living in a medicated world and I am an unmedicated girl....so far!

2008-10-16T16:31:00.001-07:00

Depression is a multi-dimesnional, multi symptom disease that has affected and taken many past and present American lives. Coming from a genetic background of deprsession and battling it myslef as well as watching close friends and family battle it as well, I felt compelled to share some of my thoughts on depression and the treatment of this plague that is sweeping through America.

Modern medicial technolgoy is a wonderful thing. There are now so many cures for diseases that would otherwise be fatal to us and our loved ones. Many doctors are amazing individulas who have a true heart for helping others and who dedicate their lives to learning about the human body and its ailments, as well as be there for us when we need a diagnosis and treatment or a cure. I think it safe to say, that while many of us are wary, the majority of us are too trusing of that man or woman in a white coat and stethaschope hanging around his or her neck.

We cannot forget that doctors are still as human as we are, and that while I am sure most start their practices with noble resolution to give proper care to their patients, I think if really pressed for the truth, even the noblest of physicians could not claim immunity against the inevitable pressure to run a lucrative practice in this day and age and economy and eventually suucomb to the "chop shop" approach resulting in minimal doctor patient time and, for lack of a better or more politically correct term, "drug pushing"

Before I go on, I cannot emphasize enough that I do believe that depression is real and calls for careful and serious treatment, I am also aware that depression varies greatly in degrees of severity. However, I also believe that we have gone from one exteme of not recognizing depression and having proper treatment, to labeling just about anyone who is feeling sluggish and unhappy with his or her life as a "clinically depressed individual" I really do think, that we as doctors AND patients been giving depression far more credit than is due the credit in our offices and lives. As patients, we need to search oursleves and make sure we are not too willing to take the back seat when it comes to any of our health care needs, especially when confronted with the prospect of taking mind altering drugs. I can think of a myriad of things that would trigger symptoms of depression: Countinual stress, exhaustion, lack of nutrition, lack of excercise, traumatic experiences, family drama, marriage challenges/ failures, or deaths. It just seems to me that doctors need to be doing a lot more reffering out to specialist that can offer help for these symptoms rather than be so quick tp mask them with a pill. I really think we need to listen to our symptoms NOT cover them up. Our bodies are incredibly intelligent creations and either we don't trust them enough or we are too busy running around like chickens with our heads cutt off to stop and listen. I heard a doctor talk about this kind of thing, and I remember him saying something that stayed with me....he started out in the early part of his career being a "syptom treater", trying vigilantly to get his patients to get to the bottom of what they were feeling....but so many of his patients didn't want to put in the work. they really just wanted him to write that prescription, and after a while he stopped trying....let's not be guilty of contributing to that kind of laxidazical attitude when it comes to the only body we will ever have. I know that it is hard, we live in a time where instant results and instant gratification rule our lives. We don't want to wait for anything!

As I stated above, I come from a genetic background of clinical depression and continue to fight it myself. I have considered going to the doctor to discuss treatment but I haven't reached the point where I feel ready to do that.

I originally intended for this all to be one blog, but I have decided to break it up into seperate blogs, each expanding on a method that has been helpful for me to avoid seeking medication for my level of depression which are the following:

Get out of my world and look at the world around me

I analyze my level of nutrition and excercise habits

I analyze my spritual well being

I find someone to help

Again, I cannot emphasize enough that clinical depression is serious and I am not a doctor nor do I have any medical proof that the methods I am sharing will be effective for anyone else but myslef.

Who's right is it anyway??

Ok, so, this is not a political blog spot I promise! I assure you, it is mere coincidince that my first entry is politic related. Politics are simply in the forefront of my mind lately as I think they should be considering our country is facing what seems to me to be one of the biggest "fork in the road" elections of all time. Each cadidate, worlds apart from each other on every aspect with opposing values and ideas when it come to what make America a great country consequently making both candidates out to protect very opposing sets of rights.

Speaking of "Rights" Does anyone even know what they are and who the hell they belong to? I haven been really struck lately by the contradictory nature of it all...below are some examples I wanted to share that never cease to blow me away. I also included some links that I have come across and found very informative.

Schools in Massachussets have the "right" to teach children about homosexual relationships, but the parents of those children do not have the "right" to choose to opt their children out of that exposure...not even on the grounds of their "religeous rights"

Homosexuals pursue the right to adopt and start a family, While many believe that a child should have every "right" to the normalcy of a nuclear family with a father and mother as male and female.

A teenage girl has the "right" to go and get an abortion without parental consent, but does not have the "right" to get her ears peirced without a guardian present.

Katie Perry has excercises her "right" to tell my children on the radio with her top of the charts hit, that she kissed a girl and she liked it and that "its no big deal its innocent", but my child no longer has the "right" to tell someone about Jesus at school.

Your School nurse has the "right" to counsel your daughter to consider abortion, an experience that will impact her life forever and may result in severe medical complications. She does not have the "right" to give your daughter Tylenol for a headache

A burglar has the "right" to break into my house while I am on vacation, get trapped in my garage forced to eat dog food to survive, and then file a law suit against me for his traumatic experience- and win!

I don't have the "right" to shoot the bastard!

A woman clutches to the "right to choose" while the unborne's "rights to live" slip through their perfectly formed little fingers.

More to come....please share some of YOUR mind blowers!

Welcome!

Greetings everyone and Welcome to Wendybird's Eye View!

Over the years, I have been inspired to write....about lots of things.... familiy dynamics, human sexuality, politics, religeon, spirituality, music, entertainment, art, etc. I find writing to be both theraputic and educational. It forces me to expand, organize and document some thoughts that would otherwise be lost forever in the shuffle of every day life.

For a long time now, I hear my ponderings turning into essays in my mind...not well formed, more chunks and bits and somewhat scattered pieces of some really good thoughts, information, and perspective that never go anyhwere but to a few friends and family.

So, I don't have any agenda for this blog except to give myslef an outlet for some of this stuff churning around in my head, and to give others the opportunity to share in that with me. Please expect to find a wide variation of topics! I hope you are intrigued.....at least a little. I value your comments and feedback so please, dont be shy!
