Beginnings Of a Beautiful Friendship

Im awake...Just got through working on something colossal....I mean BIG! In any case, im through and cant bring myself to turn in to my warm bed. Instead I sit on this hard, cold floor...Grow with me build with me...this may infact be the busiest year of my life...literally. Im confident because hard work pays off....little about myself. I am a mother, a student, daughter, and creator. I am also all the goods that epitomize the makings of a complex gemini, a connoisseur of art and all facets of self expression, Oh and now I can pen blogger under my belt as well ...Naturally I will share my thoughts, cares, and my beliefs. They may not be right but they are mine and make perfect sense to me and are subject to change because I am constantly evolving and learning...sometimes I learn things twice...Feel free to share with me and interact with me. I am always open for suggestion.

I bid adieu and bless you with the poem that inspired the blogname....

Ego Tripping (there may be a reason why)

I was born in the congo
I walked to the fertile crescent and built
the sphinx
I designed a pyramid so tough that a star
that only glows every one hundred years falls
into the center giving divine perfect light
I am bad

I sat on the throne
drinking nectar with allah
I got hot and sent an ice age to europe
to cool my thirst
My oldest daughter is nefertiti
the tears from my birth pains
created the nile
I am a beautiful woman

I gazed on the forest and burned
out the sahara desert
with a packet of goat's meat
and a change of clothes
I crossed it in two hours
I am a gazelle so swift
so swift you can't catch me

For a birthday present when he was three
I gave my son hannibal an elephant
He gave me rome for mother's day
My strength flows ever on

My son noah built new/ark and
I stood proudly at the helm
as we sailed on a soft summer day
I turned myself into myself and was
jesus
men intone my loving name
All praises All praises
I am the one who would save

I sowed diamonds in my back yard
My bowels deliver uranium
the filings from my fingernails are
semi-precious jewels
On a trip north
I caught a cold and blew
My nose giving oil to the arab world
I am so hip even my errors are correct
I sailed west to reach east and had to round off
the earth as I went
The hair from my head thinned and gold was laid
across three continents

I am so perfect so divine so ethereal so surreal
I cannot be comprehended except by my permission

I mean...I...can fly
like a bird in the sky..,
