[MEIKO + Luka] Twin Colors/Futairo [English SUBS]
Were you there when He took the words from His mouth like scissors and sledge hammers and softness and light and created the world? I think we all were with Him as He planned..The great I Am..
I dream of Him...I love Him
More than anything..More than anyone..Anyone
He is my Father
How wonderful is that for a bastard to have a Father who created the world? Because it says in His word..I am the Father to the Fatherless
Father when I come upon your shores..Please have sweet tea with me.....

Billy Rose knew trouble like the sound of his own name
He said don't mess with me, just take me home...
This song influenced me greatly. I discovered it at 10. And listened to it everyday

And the song..My ..The sheer injustice done to our fellow men and women are the blight upon our nation.

Howie Day - Collide
This is what I want you to know, love...
That for the time we have been together... I have never been madder at anybody in my life, like I have with you. That is always a mark of true love
You are laughing aren't you? Good
For the time with you..I hope you have experienced more joy, pleasure,and pain than with anyone ever before or ever again
Why pain? Because it teaches us who we are. It is the central ingredient for all growth
I hope you loved every picture that I took of you..And the kids
I hope you remember us all in the big goofy glasses...With one lens out. And How I got a picture of everyone in the house with them on
Even Elizabeth and Mike...
I hope you remember I loved you without prejudice..I loved you ..love you..With everything in me..
Please remember...

Ocean Breathes Salty - Sun Kil Moon
I appreciate every moment I have lived. I appreciate the good and bad that has happened to me.
I needed to be brought down by God more than a few times. But I thank Him for that. Because it humbled me and made me not be so judgmental. You know?
I love this song because it makes me reflect on my life. It calms me and soothes my heart. I think the world would be a better place if we did reflect more. And thought long and hard about actions before we take them.
Will this hurt anyone? If it would, don't do it. That is common sense. It is compassion.
Compassion for others helps us see their plight..It puts us in their shoes.
Have a good all...Nita

Joseph Arthur - In The Sun
this is a poem i wrote in @2010
If you read my words love, know, in your heart, that they were not meant to kill you
They were meant to wound you, so you can heal
You told me once that you wanted to be a better man
To touch the hand of God
And, love, no one can cut you...but me, to the depth you need
You told me things about myself that cut me wide open
Things I needed to hear, that no one else ever dared to say
I saw myself, for once, for who I was, through your eyes
The bad, beautiful, ugly, broken, tragic, tender, loving, messy, insecure girl who needed a father/figure lover
A girl who cried in your arms, because it was the first time I was shown true tenderness
In that moment, I would have died for you. I was your moth, and you love, were the heat
I felt the universe course through my heart, right then, and you were the best thing in it
You made me a room of my own...A room where I could be free, for a little while....
No one ever did that....for me
You let me tell you my secrets I had never told
You hurt me
You healed me
You gave me the courage to be a woman, not just a child
But she is still there, the child...
Love, take my words and let them comfort you in your hour of need
For, I bear no malice...
I only bear an unquenchable love for you....
And love does no harm

Sufjan Stevens - That Was The Worst Christmas Ever!
I read a poster today..It said: "People will only treat you like you let them treat you."
It rattled me. I want to be treated with respect, dignity, and honored as a fellow human being. For us to talk without anyone getting angry.
I want respect for my boundaries.
If I tell you something bothers me. Why would you do the very act that bothers me? I wouldn't do that to you.
Today I am going to stick to my boundaries.

Gary Jules - Wichita
I know this may be hard to believe, but when I was ten, my sister and I were hanging out with the local kids from our neighborhood in an abandoned building like most inquisitive children do, who are not being watched properly..
But this building had crushed glass all over the floor. All different colors and all different sizes. From quarter sized pieces, to mere dust of glass, holding the bigger pieces, captive by the colors it cast upon the broken bits during morning and noon and evening light.
It was beautiful to see this iridescent glow upon the walls. But the beauty of the light, laid bare the faces of my friends. Captivated by this Peter Pan moment. These children, this child, looking for something better than a beating or a slap.
We knew that this was one of those rare moments in childhood that we could look back on in delight and amazement..Especially when I was dared to walk across the glass barefooted.
And I did.
I felt this peace, and I made my mind up I was not going to get cut. I imagined me walking across that glass in my mind, unscathed. But God is the one who really protected me. I know he protects fools and children, and I guess at that point in my life I was both.. But the kids were amazed and we still talk about it.
But that moment comes back to me, like silver linings on clouds ..When the sun's light just barely caresses the clouds and illuminates their beauty ...Like cotton candy on a Summer day ..Like watching boats on the lake, during the precious few times for adults, that are allowed for pleasure and not work.
That kind of moment...
Have a great day everyone...

Powderfinger - Nobody sees
I saw the man standing on the medium. He had long dark hair, just messed up a bit. The look on his face, reached into my soul so deep it took my breath. I had no money with me..I wished at that moment I would have had some to help him.
Then at the store a mentally handicapped woman began to talk to me and some people began to snicker at her. I gave them, "You better shut your mouth or I am going to whip your ass look." And guess what they looked away. I am so mad at the insensitive society we have become.
People are made fun of daily. Children are bullied more and more at school.
They need to learn compassion and kindness how can we possibly exist much longer without it?
I wear dark sunglasses everyday because I can't stand to see the pain in everyone's eyes and I don't want them to see mine.
But I do look for opportunities to help the underdog...Because growing up I was the underdog. Not anymore.

Adam Lambert What Do You Want From Me FULL MV
A memory came to me yesterday..It was the way the wind smelled that brought it back. I remembered the apple orchard, and how we use to take the kids out there every year. We would get donuts and apples and cider. It was wonderful. It always seemed to be the perfect day when we went..
Pain washed over me in waves..I can't ever get my old life back. And I don't think I would want to. You find things out that make it impossible to ever want to go back.
But today I will cherish the good memories I had and be determined to make better ones..

Jeffrey Gaines - In Your Eyes
My garden is growing to be a lovely peaceful place. When I am there... I feel free. I usually sing when I am watering my plants. And I hope that they feel the joy that I do. The Burr Oak I planted 18 years ago is enourmous. It's arms shade my whole house.
The firs and junipers that were once Christmas trees in our home are now a huge border in the backyard. How I feel surrounded by love..
My home has sheltered me from sorrow and pain, and has given me a place to reside... To just be.
Have a good everyone. xo Nita

I Wish You Love - Rachael Yamagata
I began to think yesterday of all my blessings. And I found the direction I have been seeking.
"The literature of women's lives is a tradition of escapees, women who have lived to tell the tale...
They resist captivity. They get up and go. They seek better worlds."
Phillis Rose
My truth is this. I have been afraid to succeed. How would I handle it? I have confidence now that I will handle it well.
"There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you."
Zora Neale Hurston
I have many stories to tell, and I have many places I am going to be going to. I will keep perspective this time.
"You need to claim the events of your life to make yourself yours. When you truly posses all you have been and done, which may take some time, you are fierce with reality."
Florida Scott- Maxwell
"I have a sense of these buried lives striving to come through me to express themselves."
Marge Piercy
"The universe works with you and for you. It is not your enemy."
David Spangler
"It is a funny thing about life. If you refuse to settle for anything less than the best, that's what it will give you."
W. Somerset maugham

Still my body aches- Thomas Dybdahl
A favorite song..I have this sadness today that I can't seem to shake. I have thought of so many scenerios today from the past..From the present.
Sometimes I feel like I am alone in the world. Well. actually I feel alone most of the time. Even with a million people in the room. Why?
Because I am alone most of the time. And when I am around other people, I wonder if they could understand me. Most people don't know how to take me...Or so it seems to me.
I wish I could be that social butterfly at times. But I am this girl who is just happy to be at home writing and taking care of my family. But, then inside I really want to get out of here and see the world.
It has been so long since I could do anything fun. My house has become a self-imposed prison.
I would give anything just to hop in a car and drive to Fern Cliffe or Giant City Park...
I miss driving so much and being able to go for long rides and taking pictures...
I guess the sadness stems from feeling caged..
Even though I am caged..I will sing.
Gotta go...xo Nita

Peter Gabriel - The Book of Love
Will I be found in the book of love?
I hope so..I hope so
Would you be the one writing my name down in it?
Will we remember Summer days in each other's arms? And nights looking at the stars?
I most want to remember that we took time out of each other's day, and just was, what we wanted to be
I want to remember the times we struggled so we are grateful for the times of prosperity
And when the moon is full I want to feel your arms around me...By the window as nightbirds sing
And I need you to see I am frail at times and don't be harsh with me..Heal me with love instead
I hope we are found in the book of love..You and me
by Nita Zimmerman- Skibinski @2012
I am at a loss right now at where to begin..I seek answers constantly.
I think when John died so much of me was lost. I never really wanted to admit that. And when I lost my best friend back in March 2010....It took a toll on me..Recovery...The song She Will Be Loved..I always felt it was written for me..I am that girl with the broken smile. I feel somewhat like a tornado that is full of talent..But I am not directed. Direction is vitally important right now. I have been without a car almost for a year. My power bill is dragging me down. But I am going to make a confession right now.. I will succeed on on getting out of this quandry. I will get my writing published. I will get my bills under control. I will fight to be whole everyday of my life. I will think of others. I have lacked in that area at times. I will lose the rest of the weight I want to lose. I am almost there. I will be successful at whatever I put my hand to. Say a prayer for me, please? And I will pray for you all as well.
Love Nita

I have hid with a painted face
I have hid in clean clothes
But, I have been exposed all along but did not know
But today God's grace touches me
It makes me feel like I can face another day
It makes me feel like I am going to make it...
That I am going to break free from this pain
God's grace and peace have settled over me today like water walls
And I am grateful

Ice
I walked on the ice..The creek had been frozen for a week.
I was 12..I had long brown hair almost to my waist and I had on a beautiful brown fur parka that had buttons made of bone.
It was a magical day..The ice made everything feel surreal. I walked on the deepest part of the creek almost wishing it would break..That way if I died it would be such a tragedy. It would have been in the papers and my classmates would have mourned me. My Mom and sisters would throw themselves on my coffin and weep loudly inconsolably, almost dying from losing me.
The thoughts of a 12 year old are hard to understand at times.
My cheeks were on fire from the cold as I walked home.... I studied the snow..With huge icicles that hung off the houses. I suddenly felt quite sad..Time seemed to be going so fast. I had remembered when I was 5 . And thoughts of those times filled my head on my walk home ..I was mixed with happy thoughts and sad ones.
I reached home that evening and Mom had made beef stew. I remember looking at her and loving her so much at that moment..I ran up and hugged her and told her the food smelled so good. She said, "Well go eat silly."
And I did with eyes of a 40 year old instead of a 12 year old. Thanking God in my heart for the good times.

Big Red
Today we had to have our dog put down. He was such a good dog.
How, he was that good, I will never know. When he came here 4 years ago he had been beaten and tortured and had his throat cut. Me and my Dad nursed him back to health.
I hate it that the good things in the world suffer more than the bad things. But who am I to question God?
Big Red always had these sad, sad eyes..You could see his soul through them, and all that was there, was love.
He was suffering though and it needed to be done. It was the humane thing to do.
Sometimes we need to learn to let go...

Garbage - Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (U2 Cover)
just listen to the poetry of these lyrics....just listen
Damien Rice - Rootless Tree (Live from Abbey Road)
{This post is from a diary I started a year ago in February.. Actually, February 12, 2011. One day before I started going out with Jim.}
This song has one curse word in it..And I apologize for that but it is needed. The song..that is.
I cried. The sobs wracked my frame. I had been riding my exercise bike and praying.
It came over me in waves. Oceans of tears..I cried so much, my shirt was wet down the whole front.
The past 3 years and 7 months have been Hell.
With John dying, my surgery, Elizabeth's health. And so much more. I can't even speak of how much more. It hurts too much.
I felt in my heart, God say, " I understand Everything you have done and why you have done it."
The past year I have been on auto-pilot. The walking dead.
Numb
Numb
Numb
Lost inside myself so deep that I didn't know if I could make it out.
What can I say about suffering? It is intense. Like Jack Nicholson.
Some days I feel I can barely breath.
How do I get through it?
I wake up. I get dressed. Take my medicine. Drink some tea.
"Play some music."
Pray...That God will help me get through another day. Pray I get my needs taken care of.
And I put on the mask that every thing's ok.
When you suffer
it scares people..for you.
They can't fathom why it is happening.
I've learned this in suffering.
"God is good...All the time."
He has helped me through nights I spent on the floor crying myself to sleep..Those nights I wanted to die.
I wanted to die because of the suffering.
There were days I drove for hours..Trying not to think. Trying to breath.
There is a song by Damien Rice called, Rootless Tree. There is one line that describes me, how I feel.
"We do what we need to be free and this leans on me like a rootless tree."
I have prayed for answers. I have begged God to show me the way, everyday..
So I just take it a step at a time
a second at a time.
And I feel like I am healing
Slowly...

Busted Heart - For king & Country
I will give God glory in my suffering. I will give Him honor in my hunger. I will hold onto Him like a child holds onto their Mother's leg.
I pray He makes me as close to Him as a man's belt upon his waist...
He has never left me, He has never forsaken me.
He has always watched out for me ..Even in my darkest moments when I laid drunk upon the floor. Drugged out and desperate. He made me straight. He took my addictions away.
He saved my life so many times..I can't count them all.
And I have at times been faithless. Ungrateful for His tender mercies.
I have been a mess. A fool. Yet, He loves me.
And that, is the most awesome gift I have ever received.
An unfailing love, and a love that does not stop.
Even if, we have never had anyone be faithful to us in our lives. He is faithful.
And I praise Him today ....And I love Him.
More than anything...Or anyone.

Sun Kil Moon - Lost Verses
There is no quiet place in your cities, no place to hear the leaves of Spring or the rustle of insects wings...
The Indians prefer the soft sound of the wind darting over the face of the pond, the smell of the wind itself cleansed by a midday rain, or scented with pinon, pine.
The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath-the animals, the trees, the man.
Like a man who has been dying for many days, a man in your city is numb to the stench.

Raphael Saadiq ft. Joss Stone - Just One Kiss
Night in africa walks
into day as quickly
as a moth is extinguished
by its desire for flame
the clouds in the caribbean carry
night like a young man
with a proud erection dripping
black dots across the blue sky
the wind its mistress of the sun howls
her displeasure at the involuntary
fertilization
but nights are white
in new york
the shrouds of displeasure
mask our fear of facing
ourselves between the lonely
sheets

Sara Smile - The Bird and The Bee
I was sweeping the floor yesterday feeling sad..When I found a magnet under the table.
I bent down and picked up and read: Only those who risk going too far
Will ever know how far to go
That spoke to me...
How many times do we stay in our safe little corner of the world without ever risking anything?
When we know we have the capabilities to do anything, if we believe we can.
We stay where we are out of fear of failing..Out of insecurity..
I won't be afraid this year! I will go too far. I will take risks.
I will succeed in the goals I have set. And I believe anyone who is reading this will too. I really do.
With God's help we can do anything.
