Points of Light, a little story...
Llooking in here, lingering. It's okay and alright, still and warm. Stay awhile; be comfortable. Let's dance and smiles, hands held — life, living it. Love and giving, making beauty. The sun is where it should be, azure sky — petals on the flower, cool radiation. The brook babbles, the rabbits slowly hoop and hippity. Clouds, flow by silky blown. Light in eye, happy. Cuddle, for you, I write. Giggle, laugh out loud, grin. A new place inside me, see, share, I do love you!
Points Of Light, I wrote that to contrast something I wrote in 2010, my manifesto, I guess. It was the truth as I knew what my truth was nine years ago. Back then, it seems I was all too willing to be cold and alone as I felt safe within my fortress of solitude. Somehow though, the tiniest fragments of light, maybe the quantum type, made its way into my heart as it desired what Boy Meets Girl sang about. This was my manifesto as I wrote it in 2010-

This Much Only:
Pieces of me, that’s all. Stay where you are, come no closer; you need not know more. Stay where you are; where I am, you shall not come; you cannot enter. In here behind the veil lies all of me, something I keep in reserve, hidden, set aside for me and me alone, my secret guarded. One knot is my lock, Gordian knot to be sure, tried, and true. Stay away, I will share, but on my terms and please be assured that only I hold these terms also within, they are mine as well! What is within is within for my reasons, for the purposes I choose. So stay away, and our unison will be secure. There are things within, many, many things, some good, some bad, but they shall be held with steely grit and determination. My life, my way, by this, I am bound, and by this, I live or die. The things within may be hideous, they may be wondrously beautiful, but I am free of your rule, you have no power over me. I will be a rock, a fortress, if I acquiesce it is on my terms, and you shall see a little, but not all, never all and be confident of this rule with firm resolution, for in that I will be happy. Do not pry, do not prod, and do not hope to know more than all that I reveal! There is so much within, why do you wish for more, don’t I know best what to deal out? Ask not the question, “Who does he wish to protect,” for rather, I protect myself or those without, only I can choose. The lock is secure, it will remain. Stay where you are, and with you, do not think to bring along Alexander!
As Always,
Love and Peace,
Tod w/only one d
