Jim Morrison.
My first introduction to Morrison, was not through his band The Doors, or familiar radio songs, but through his poetry. I would love to meet the poet behind "American Prayer" and just spend the day with the same person who wrote,
STONED IMMACULATE
"I'll tell you this... No eternal reward will forgive us now For wasting the dawn."
"Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god
Wandering, wandering in hopless night
Out here in the perimeter there are no stars
Out here we is stoned
Immaculate."
Jim Morrisson
My Grandparetns are two of the most beautiful, selfless,
loyal, proud, gracious, hard-working and non-judgemental couple I think I will ever know.
I think of them as this world's last Romeo and Juliet. They have been a model for what I believe a relationship and partnership should be like.
Although I don't believe in the institute of marriage for myself, my grandparents marriage of 53 years consistently gives me a renewed hope in the idea of love, the practice of loyalty and the fairy tale notion of a soul mate.
Aside from my Grandparents, my Mom (or should I say Mommy) is the other heroine in my life. She is also my confident, best friend, pain in my ass, go-to person, sister, therapist and guardian angel. It's too scary to think of a life w/o my Mom. She's the person that believes in me more than ME at times.
