Hello, friends and family–and folks caught in he middle! ❤
IT HAS BEEN QUITE A WHILE SINCE I LAST POSTED, HERE. I am alive and well–and thank you for keeping tabs on me…haha!
Anyway; today, I don’t have a recipe, I just have a story to share: one that is near and dear to my heart, of hearts.
The Story of Daniel; here in lies the truth, if anybody is willing enough to read, ask, forgive, and forget. I have been on such a beautiful, “crazy”, adventure these past couple of months.
Annndd, it ALL started with a pair of 22 year old boys, that I fell in love with; almost instantaneously: if you believe in Love At First Sight. Even for a blind person(Glaucoma), they were beautiful, and deadly.
Long story short: the embers burned bright, and love was in the air, and in our Hearts–for one-another.
The biggest piece of advice I could give: Men and Women love differently. Men and Women are truly meant to be each other’s resting post; not to say women loving women, or men loving men is wrong or unnatural. AND, there is something so sacred and special when a man and woman choose to lie down together. And, I am more into that gay shit, anyway. personally, I plan on adopting a whole mess of kids, and retiring out in the country(in whatever country I feel safest in).
Anywho, today is 10/20/2024…Sunday of all days.
and my story continues:
“All is fair in Love and War”…that statement has been brought to mind more than a couple times. I am always worried about hurting others, and making each interaction equitable for everyone involved(myself, lastly however). Well, now, I am taking 100% care of myself, and everyone else can take care of themselves. How about that?
anyway, back to my story of the pair of 22’s I met while I was staying in the Eugene Mission. “it was the best of times, and it was the worst of times”.
I will leave names out; but the longest shortest story I could tell you: they stole everything I had, including my Heart–and that is always the hardest to recover(from). besides that, they got away with over $1200 of my money and items. Including cash, sun glasses, cell phones, and most painfully, my time.
Maybe I fall in love too easily…my Aunt Shiela always said “Baby, you wear your Heart on your sleeve…”, naturally, I took it as a put down…”no baby,” she would say, “that’s your super power, kindness”.
I miss her so terribly sometimes, and other times I know she is always behind me pushing me forward; toward a better life she saw for me.
I owe everything to one Woman; Shiela Rose Clingan. I am the most blessed to have been loved by one of God’s Angels…well, a lot of God’s Angels…if I am being honest. My Dad, my Uncle, my Sister(s), my Brother. Grandparents and so, so, so many cousins.
God has been so kind to me; and if I am to thank anyone first, and foremost: it would be my God. Source, The Universe, The Divine, The Earth, The Cosmos…whatever your pray to, and who ever you pray to: God Answers. (he might take a message, but this timing is Divine, and Perfect beyond our recognition.)
So if you would like to thank ANYONE, or ANYTHING for my wellbeing, FALL to your knees and thank your Higher-Self.
The ONE TRUE CREATOR: LOVE & LIGHT; there is no different between these two aspects. true love can look dark, grim, messy, and ugly(like war & love), and we all know what Light looks like.
anyway, I love ya’ll very dearly…and thank you for all of your Support(s), and Prayers.
wishing you the best time of your life,
Daniel D. Clingan
p.s…my sister had me committed twice because she “thought”, I was a tweaker and taking drugs. and if you’re reading this: no, I don’t forgive you yet. and I still love you, just a little less now “best friend”.
