The Ride

Reading DianeATL's Dante metaphor, I recalled this that I wrote many years ago, describing a sort of "spiritual ascension" from the place where many reside. But the body remains and thus, the journey continues... So, Diane, in honor of your words:

"The Ride"

In a field of heather green I lie

While the train I rode goes rushing by

I ponder the journey that brought me here

Via sun and darkness, laughter and tear

And I dream of wings by which to fly

Above the clouds, beyond times embrace

I feel the freedom as the winds erase

This chain that binds my body and soul

And demands of me such an exacting toll

And never does Time relent the chase

But here in this moment, of air borne and free

I am allowed to dream what I was meant to be

One of beauty and power and grace designed

A being cultured, perfected, refined

My heart celebrates this truth that I see

A revelation glorious in dance and song

The transformation of spirit for which I do long

An eternity passes and I heave a great sigh

I hear the mighty steam engine rush by

And the cries of those still pressed in the throng

In cars that hold them bound to the ground

Their moment of glory still yet to be found

I call, Come join me and you too can see

The wonder of who you were created to be!

Yet falls deaf amoung the ominous sound

Of the mighty trains screeching and unhalting wheels

Time gives chase, nipping at the heels

Of all who have felt the grasp of her claws

Squelching their song as she gnashes her jaws

Leaving nothing in place of all that she steals.

So I pick myself up and climb back on the train

And rejoin my sojourners in this testing of pain

To be with them when the truth is revealed

The glorious rapture they see as they're healed

And the heart of a friend, the reward that I gain.

Vey nice poem Jennifer, maybe one day I too can experience the field of heather green.

Brenda, there exists a place deep inside where all the beauty and grace reside. A place where none other holds the key, none other beyond you or me. It is there where the heather grows.

:-)

Peace

Just like thee

What? No verse in return?

Vanna, my dear, now it's your turn.

I shan't be consoled

With praises; silver or gold

It's thy rhyme for which my soul does yearn!

;-)

Thanks for your kind words.

Dear Vanna, dear Vanna

The Muses do shine

Their favor upon

Your words so sublime

The heart is what matters

The most in the end

And Yours has won you

The respect of a friend.

Peace to you this day.

Seeds of friendship

Grow well

in the fertile soil of the heart

With the radiant light of joy

And the tears of shared sorrows

To nourish them

They blossom into beautiful flowers.

There's a lovely poet named Vanna

Whose words come from Heaven as Manna

She rhymes with her heart

Full of love from the start

And she's pretty good with her grammar...

      I guess you do have a good point. It's just hard to try and not have the same meals over and over again.

      Hi   I’ll weigh in on being picky about food.  Yes, and I was brought up that way.  We didn’t have to eat everything our parents ate.  They had a number of things they ate that they figured we wouldn’t eat, an acquired taste things or one or the other didn’t like them too.   even as an adult there are many things I won’t eat.  In my defense, there are different things my wife won’t eat.   the weird thing is that after being in E, my tastes have changed.  Sweet, sour, salty or bland, if I eat or drink too much of any one thing and I have to counter act it.   Willow

      I have shared my doses and levels a lot and no one has said anything. Yeah I put alarms on my phone to make sure I don't miss a dose. I tend to forget a lot of stuff on what needs to be done. I have been also using the calendar on my phone a lot. I missed an appointment because I didn't put it in my calendar.

      Feeling better than I did yesterday

      It's official. My doctor wants me retested after the last results (too high). The test, that she scheduled, was likely too close to the dose. She did tell me to keep the increased dose instead of reverting to my old one, probably because my "too high" wasn't that high. I don't know what the forum's stance is on results, knowing full well the rules against sharing dosage, so I'll keep those under wraps until I know if it's OK to share those. Less to say, it was over the range she feels comfortable with by about 50%, but taken a day earlier than the midpoint value she was expecting. Grains of salt everywhere!   Of course I messed everything up too, missing my dose for the first time, yesterday. I had to re-reschedule the lab I setup yesterday to Monday from Saturday after taking my shot this morning to avoid the same issue with the testing. I woke up and thought, "Thursday, what do I have to do for work today? OH -crap-, IT'S THURSDAY! I missed my shot yesterday!"   Anyhoo. Question for the ladies: does anyone else get a mild zen-like high after their shots/doses? My brain feels lighter and I'm happier and I feel a lot more girlie this morning. 💃

      I'm into my fourth month of HRT and just titrated up in dosage after my last checkup. This is my life. 🤭   I have yet to grow out of my B cup bras, but I have noticed more fullness, having started with gynecomastia. I am seeing less gapping in bras with my right breast, which has always been smaller than my left. My areolae are slightly pronounced/projected now, that are larger but not vastly greater in circumference, and I have noticed little to no nipple changes beyond their painful sensitivity.

      -It's not a sprint it's an endurance.  -It won't happen overnight. -Seek a gender therapist. -You might lose a lot of support but hang in there. If they truly loved and cared about you they would stay. -Retail therapy helps and plus it builds your wardrobe and shoes. -Makeup is an artwork. It takes lots of practice to do it right and watch YouTube videos on how to put it on or someone who is knowledgeable. -You are going to have roller coaster emotions so don't rush anything.

      You have grown more breast tissue than most some only get one size and that is it. I went from 42C to 42DD but I'm also taking supplements. It's risky to take the supplements but to me it's worth the risk.
