No Shame

The Second Lady operates three Firms. The first one is organized religion. The second Firm is made up of those people that have been called to serve but are only loosely associated with organized religion. The Third Firm is the most interesting of all. This one involves people that are usually minding their own business, and generally enjoying life. No one in their right mind would call them "inspired". Unfortunately, The Second Lady doesn’t see it that way. She sees something in you that she wants. She doesn’t ask you if they want to help her. She simply co-opts you. It generally works like this. The Second Lady arranges events and people and "things" so that one day you find yourself as part of The Third Firm. Sooner or later you cotton on to the fact that you have become part of The Firm and you want out, but there are a pair of golden handcuffs in her "benefits" program. You will find that The Second Lady has arranged things so that you’re in love with another "employee". The Second Lady’s provided "love benefit" is the one that bugs you to death. You can’t seem to function without it. It seems to exist just beyond your view in some sort of a fog. It won’t leave you alone. You are forever thinking about it. It takes up all your "free" time. It’s forever "sneaking" into your mind. You can see bits and pieces of it but not the whole picture. You try to get out of the whole mess by trolling for other loves but eventually you realize one way or the other that even if you have "Free Choice" it ain’t gonna apply to The Second Lady’s Love Benefit!!! She has no shame!!!

Well it’s sure as hell nice to hear from you!!! You, I and Shyloh (see blog) have a lot in common. I know you are out there hurtin’ and my heart goes out to you. I realized from your casual mention of the word Alex in your blog several posts ago that you had traced me down. I love you both dearly and that’s just how it is!!! That doesn’t mean that I can go around interfering in your life. I think I know what has happened but my lips are sealed. Some things in life you just have to take a big breath and just go ahead and do it. Your Gemini Horoscope pretty well sums it up. I mentioned or at least hinted that I had a strong sense that I had entered your life for a reason. I sense that I was sent into Shyloh’s life for a reason too. You’re both tremendous ladies. The Second Lady is with you and has you both under her umbrella. You’ll get through it but you’re going to sweat a little!! By the way The Second Lady wants to me to tell you that you have no shame from her viewpoint. I and The Second Lady are going to get you "fixed" (I just couldn’t resist)

Hi Nat. I posted on Shyloh's blog http://shylohspoetry.blogspot.com/
that you needed "help". I asked Shyloh to contact you through my blog as you're not posting. You're free to read my post on Shyloh’s blog. I'm willing to cook my goose with you both if that is what I have to do!! Anyway you will really like her. Both she and you are very strong, charismatic and insightful women.
