The Glass Slippers
Claudina (excerpt from Training Heels)
Shoes: Paul Andrew $2,000.00 PeopleStyleWatch.com
Growing up she knew she was charmed, blessed if you will. She was special and she knew this. And this feeling of “specialness” was validated her entire life. It was confirmed and reconfirmed by her parents, friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, siblings. strangers, husbands and most recently by her very own child. Daddy’s princess and Mommy’s special little girl. No not “deee deee deee de special” (as she patted and press her curled hand against her breast mocking mental misdevelopment and general confusion). No, she was special because she felt it in her bones and her spirit. Her heritage, ancestors and the celestial alignment on the day of her birth were such that it was imperative that she always reached for MORE. Destiny screamed her name (in her head) and SHE called her by her full name at maximum volume. “ALEXANDRIA CLAUDINE CREDO.” Not to say that fate is fixed. Not to say that everything is predetermined. You will know what I mean after reading this and you start noticing “the coincidences.” But that’s not the point in this story. This is to show how and why she lived her life. Her motivation. The lessons learned from her Momma. The lesson’s she hoped to teach to her daughter. How she would teach these lessons to the child that was of her flesh, spirit and her Momma’s spirit. This is to reinterate that she was “chosen” and she knew it, “even before she was touched.” Claudina would be touched by some “unknown force of LOVE” and she lived to spread love and wait albeit impatiently, until that day, until that wondrous day, that she felt it again.
“Claudina” was what most everyone called her then.

Heated
Your nearest affected me
It
made my heart beat faster
And the blood flow heated
My skin
Although we just met
You were somehow familiar
My cool demeanor was off balance
The emotional exterior walls
Lowered their defenses
When you reached for my hand
I took it without hesitation
And those walls came down
We walked hand and hand
Then later we danced
I got so heated
You blew softly on my face and neck
And while it cooled the surface
I swayed with the music
Yet inside I stood frozen
While my cold heart thawed

Venus -A Mysterious World
“v”
In The Radio Man, a 1924 science fiction by the American author Ralph Milne Farley, a radio engineer, Myles Standish Cabot, invents a radio apparatus that teleports him to another world, Venus. This version of Venus has boiling hot oceans, but the land is much cooler, and the continent he lands on is inhabited by two races.
One of the races, the Formians, are like black ants, the size of horses. The other race is more human, these are the Cupians, who have blonde hair, blue eyes and human appearance and proportions , and who communicate though antennae in their heads.
Venus in Science Fiction
The Radio Man is one of many science fiction books set on Venus. Until the early 1960s the general view of Venus was that it is a planet with similar conditions to the Earth, but a little hotter because it is closer to the Sun. As mentioned in my previous post “Venus – The…

Intentions
Forget the past transgressions and keep moving forward
I will always and foreveR believe in true LOVE. Pure and unconditional. It EXISTS.
However that selfish “why don’t you understand my feelings?” kinda of love and the people who use emotional, material or monetary things to try and keep or maybe buy love are exercising a futile attempt at an impossible feat. You may be trying to use control or maybe even trying to evade the inevitable outcome of the END of US. Just because I do not comply with your requests does not mean I do not understand your “feelings”. And remember, you do not even believe in words like always and foreveR.
There are those who claim they LOVE you but they fuel and even feed your addictions .. It’s not okay. They really don’t care. The vultures are circling and you cannot see. You definitely cannot see me for I am but a memory. And there are reminders of me everywhere. Even the writing on the wall along with the permanent reminders on your body. I am truly with you but we are not together.
I would not watch you destroy yourself. You cannot break or destroy me. I have stretched my mind and my body, I’m flexible and to tenacious for that.
So
No more DRAMA. I’m done with all that.
And those foolish people who think and state that “they never lose” you’ve already lost. A long time ago in fact.
So
Here we are again for the very last time.

That’s WHY!
Rewind to a previous version. And obliterate the feelings of contention that period brings. Using my one charm bracelet as a talisman, I wave my hand and make the sign of the cross, and you speak the words of remorse and regret, I’m sorry.
Fast forward to now and forget all that. It’s past tense. It’s a new beginning again and meanwhile, I’m currently standing with one foot in the water and one in the sand. I walk between Earth and Water. I fly between Heaven and Hell. I savor ecstasy and normalcy. As I stand beneath the stars, I whisper no matter what happens, I will love again.
And he will love me like no other As deep as the Mariana Trench to unknown depths and then resurface, while the Sun still shines and dries the saltiness on our skin.
Unfaltering secure we ride the waves.Rolling with the ebb and tide just going with the flow of events. As one with the motion, we dance the divine Tango. Flying free to heights so high. It’s so cold and beautiful. The oxygen becomes thin and it’s hard to breathe.
But we can and we do. And yet there are moments that I still hold my breath and eventually exhale slowly and purge the negativity. The animosity you contrived to justify cause you were hurt by Love still reverberates. You were intoxicated and nigh remember. And the echoes are barely there, they are fading fast, You’ve crossed the line so many times, betrayal is expected and anticipated. So you fulfill your own prophecy of doom and start that 3 year itch.
One day we’ll say that we were just afraid, we weren’t ready. But when we do wake (and we will awaken) we will shed our fearsome dreams.When we truly appreciate this Paradise, there is nothing denied to us.For we are created to Be Loved. And Love.
Conversely when passion is high.some stumble and fall hard. To the other side. Like a baby, you do not know what to do. You go to a dark place where your kind of love becomes lust and animosity And misogyny is like your second nature. You hurt because you were hurt And the cycle begins again. But it’s different this time. You keep hurting people but this to will be reversed. They will know JOY
Around up and down the wheel goes. And yet,the Sun will rise and set.The November full moon will rise in full glory today and in times between she will smile that crescent smile. Growing larger as it goes thru its phases and the perspective from the apogee to the the perigee change the way it appears.
The planets will orbit in elliptical patterns. And sacred geometry will become clearer.
The patterns are not a redundancy nor are they random. it’s all an algorithm to be understood And there are anomalies like the rivers that flow North instead of South. Reversing the normalcy but somehow making the balance even. There are exceptions to certain rules and we will be inviolable to your contemptuous slander, the bursts of rage as well as your finger pointing accusations. The time of reckoning comes nearer. And I stand between elation and sadness. Relief and anxiety. Love and Hate. The course is set and I make the journey, step by step. I stand betwixt and between, however I still stand.

Sometime in the past, between 5,000 and 8,000 years ago, a massive star at least ten or twenty times the mass of the Sun detonated in the constellation of Cygnus the Swan. This supernova, at a distance of 1,500 light years must have been a spectacular sight and because of the relatively close proximity to us in age and distance this object is huge on our night sky. It stretches three full degrees from end to end and with the Full Moon being a half-degree, this object is six times the diameter of our Moon as we see it on the sky. Observing this object will take some black skies and some massive apertures as it’s very faint. If you’re ever at a star party and you see a nice 18” inch…

Dark Skies
Always looking up… Reading and learning
Very informative!
“All humans, everywhere in the world and throughout history, have looked up at the sky and wondered at it. This experience is now denied to most people, because of the background light in towns and cities. It is important to ensure that there will be somewhere in England where young people can fully enjoy a cosmic panorama.” – Martin Rees, the British Astronomer Royal, at the opening of the Northumberland Dark Sky Park in 2013.
What is light pollution?
Light pollution is the unnecessary and excessive use of light at night. It includes such things as over-illuminating the outside of buildings with bright floodlights, excessive use of bright security lights, lights on in offices at night long after all the occupants have left, brightly lit shop windows still blazing when there are no passers-by doing window shopping, and the use of bright streetlights on quiet rural roads where there is little need for this from a health…

I woke up early again today
It’s bright before the dawn
Between the darkness of the night
When stars begin to acquiesce
From dark velvet to a light silky blue sky
I straddled the line of love and hate
Neutral as it were
Inherently my passions high
So filled with emotions
Do you think I know how to love?
I asked the skies
Or has my frozen heart been unthawed too many times
The butterflies that flutter by and flowers that smell so sweet
Still touch me
And it almost touches me without touching me like the reaching hands in the figures on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel Michelangelo has many masterpieces and it has happened many times
I paint and write between the lines So close together with shades of blue and gray and nearest to God
like the cherubs of a Bothecelli painting and
The birth of Venus
With that secret smile of the Mona Lisa
I too barely smile and yearn to know the esoteric knowledge and create double entendres and hide secrets like Leonardo. But share this knowledge as well for those who can see
For if you doubt my capabilities/capacity my beloved that’s on you There must be something lacking there But where does the absence lie or lay?
My cup is still full and yet there is room for more It doesn’t bother me a bit IF it runneth from the table onto the floor and even flow like a river across the room and out the door
The morning star-Venus
Thanks for this! As a child I wished on the Evening Star. I found out as a teenager that this Star was actually the Planet Venus. I endeavored to find out as much as I could about the stars, constellations and planets. I was/am facinated by the significance of conjuctions, alignments and the paths/trajectory as well as the forces of the universe/nature in this world. As an adult, I still marvel at the Star of the Morning aka Evening Star aka Venus and my wishes have become affirmations!
@thesciencegeek
I always learn something new when I read your posts/blog…;)
Anybody who has been up early in the past month and looked at the eastern sky will have noticed a brilliant white object – the planet Venus, sometimes called the Morning Star. It is much brighter than any other planet and is the third brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon.
Image from NASA. Venus in the pre-dawn morning sky. The less bright object near to Venus is the planet Jupiter. Venus appears as a disc in the image because it is so bright that it has flooded the camera with light. To the naked eye Venus appears as a point of light.
The orbit of Venus
Venus is the planet which passes closest to Earth. At its closest approach it is only 40 million km from Earth, roughly 100 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon (Williams 2015). A year on Venus is the…
