What Aren't I In To?

Smile wide,

My teeth permeate a new

Idea of white

Picket fences and

Days spent reading books

On a back porch.

I hold your words

Against the shell of my

Ear, and listen to the way

The reeds in your throat

Dance against each other while

Speaking my name.

I can’t help but watch

Your lips move and curve

Around each syllable as you

Bring up constellations on

White-washed maps.

The energy of your fingers

Between mine makes me realize

I was never empty,

Only waiting.

The angle of your arm and the

Weight of this moment expand and

Contract around the seconds

That tick by as I slowly

Lose focus and dream about kissing

You.

Press minutely against the

Sides of your

Mouth where I notice how your skin

Turns from blush to cream and

Back again.

Maybe I will wake up tomorrow

To the sway of your sounds

And the glimmer of your eyes.

Maybe it will have never happened

And today is only a trick.

I’d like to think I felt you with me,

Our soft sighs of longing

True and bold in a room full

Of nervous energy

And breaking guitar strings.

Closed shut eyes,

The more my corners crinkle

Into black crows feet

Where my eyeliner smudged,

The more

Real this becomes.

The push and pull of arms

Against hips as we tango

Slowly back and forth on the couch,

And I lean my head

Gently against your shoulder

Like a butterfly landing on a

Cornflower.

I don’t want to disturb the sweetness of

A silent exhale near you,

But I’m hungry enough to come

“I married her because I loved her.”

Retro Inspired Patches For Empaths, Healers & Starseeds by Jeff Finley

Artist Jeff Finley from StarseedSupplyCo first began to chanel his inner starseed when he sought to heal his depression. He used his creativity as an instrument by starting a blog where he discusses his philosophical ideas. On the road to recover from depression, he experienced numerous out of body experiences and a spiritual awakening. The following year, one of his shamanic healers told him he was a Starseed. He educates us on what it means to be a starseed. He writes,

“A Starseed is a term that would describe a person who has awakened to their cosmic consciousness and infinite nature. They often feel an extreme sense of purpose on this planet, although they may not know what that purpose is. If you’re reading this, you are probably a Starseed. They often feel out of place or alien, like they do not belong here on Earth or with their families or society. They might do a good job blending in, but it often comes at the expense of their well-being. Many Starseeds find themselves dealing with depression throughout their life until they are able to fully be themselves and express their own unique gifts and purpose. Some Starseeds have a strong resonance with extra-terrestrial beings as either guides or soul families. They may have direct contact through channeling, astral projection, dreams, or intuitive or psychic abilities. Others are just fascinated or have a strong attraction to aliens.

Some may not resonate at all with the Starseed label, but still have a similar mission. Maybe they’re just healers, empaths, visionaries, or conscious creators. They are prolilfic makers, inspiring leaders, lightworkers, or gifted artists.”

Healers, Empaths, Introverts & Starseed, you can find a patch here!

Both T'Pol and Hoshi have some of the cutest and most badass moments. They’re so smart and wonderful.

Enterprise did the Mirror Universe better than any of the other ST shows. None of this crossover business, they went full-out and immersed the audience in it. The warlike intro, with dramatic music and battle scenes from past to future, was chilling and a perfect start for it.

Ah, Deep Space Nine, you rocked hard.
