A Tumblr follower sent a note to me, expressing their desire to share all the love in their heart, but the frustration of what seems to be limits in their situation.

I'm sharing my reply, below - it might be relevant for someone else.

"49 is a great age to be. I will say that your 50's will be an amazing decade for you. Even though you are in a rural place, there might be the perfect person for you in your area. The internet is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand it brings people worldwide together, on the other are the realities of distance. Unless one or both have the flexibility to literally leave and start a new life together, it's very difficult to sustain. The ocean always seems to get in the way. That's the sad reality of it. If it's possible for you, perhaps you could meet a lovely person in town. We all want love in our lives. You will certainly find it. Have trust that person's out there wanting the same."

I started to think about the film Last Christmas. Emilia Clarke's character, Kate, is making some wrong decisions in her quest to find love. She views her life as a mess, and her decisions are adding to it. It's only until she's shown that she can find love through other pathways, does she find peace, acceptance and what will be a happier more fulfilling chapter in her life. The final scene in the film is of her writing in her journal - happy, healthy, positive and peaceful.

There are so many times in life when we've all felt the frustration of being single.

I've said it before and will again:

"Trust the process. Life is merely shaping you and in doing so, adding something incredible to you. Have faith. Life will open a gift for you."

That famous adage still hold true.

When one door closes, another will open.

Trust. Hope. Faith.

Here's the most important part:

Reach for what you desire to help that door to open. Keep reaching until it does.

It will come to you.

Good Morning -

I'm beginning to see tiny moments of Spring slowly awakening.

Each season holds qualities that I've always viewed as human like.

Summer is pure experienced seduction.

Autumn is the beauty of wisdom.

Winter is pristine servitude.

Spring is confusion. A halfway moment of almost surrender.

Which season is your favorite?

Thank you for stopping by.

Let's walk awhile.

Love,

This song was originally on his 'Listen Without Prejudice' cd in 1990.

Certainly way ahead of its time, and more relevant today than ever. Lyrically and vocally it's exquisite, and prophetic.

The New York Times September 16, 1990, George Michael is quoted regarding this song:

"No event inspired the song. It's my way of trying to figure out why it's so hard for people to be good to each other. I believe the problem is conditional as opposed to being something inherent in mankind. The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit. Because of the media, the way the world is perceived is as a place where resources and time are running out. We're taught that you have to grab what you can before it's gone. It's almost as if there isn't time for compassion."

This is the Abbey Road version, recorded live in London 2004.

Good Morning -

Tumblr sent this post to my notes.

It's my 13 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

The story about the beginning of this blog, was that it began without any thought of writing.

There were images that I had on my pc, taking up needed space. I wanted to find a place for them where I could view them in grid form. Tumblr archive was exactly what I was looking for.

An entire year went by with me flying under the radar.

One day an image I posted moved me to add words.

The next day I received an email from Tumblr with something about a follower.

The next day, another follower, with something called a reblog.

More images, more words from my heart.

And then the unexpected happened, Tumblr changed, purged and wow- the fallout from 2018 was unimaginable.

I wrote about it - (link below.)

I was so busy at that time, living and working in Manhattan that my Tumblr was placed on pause.

In 2020, I returned. I did miss my writing and my Tumblrs.

I'm thankful for all of you.

Tumblr has been, and continues to be a most amazing and incredible experience that touches me deeply. <-Thank all of you for that.

Here's to more words and inspiration!

Thank you for stopping by.

With Love,

beautflstranger

Good Morning -

It's the little moments that make you smile.

The colors, textures, music on headphones, as you take it all in.

Senses on beautiful overload.

Let's walk awhile.

Love,

Good Morning -

It's been a minute!

Spring on the horizon.

Bits of green on the trees, little petals bursting with promise.

Days of warmth tinged with chill, winter's grip lingering.

Thank you for stopping by.

Love,

I love the tender side of men.

That masculine warmth of strength.

The humanness of an open heart.

That protective embrace that envelops you.

And it's not about sex.

It's about relating on a much higher level.

A bonding of soul to soul, which is irreplaceable.

That one moment moves heaven and earth in a woman's heart.

Her vulnerability exposed, shared and accepted, in this moment of quiet surrender.

A relationship taken to a place where you both find healing. Comfort. Peace.

A place where nothing else matters in the world, but this unification.

If you aspire to anything in life, let it be this.

The rest of it will fall into place.

Let the superficial fall to the wayside.

Leave the nonsense behind.

If the last few years taught us anything, let it be reaching for moments like this.
