You are my Stardust

A Poem's Musing

That would make a great book wouldn't it.

I think you and I know enough about soulmate love that we could write a book.

It makes me think that I would love to share that love we have with the world in a way that is acceptable...and a book about soulmate love would be amazing and a place to put everything I remember to say when I can't say it in the moment.

But how would I start it... I know how it ends.

Would I state my qualifications? or

show ppl that soulmate love is possible...

complicated and sometimes

a slow torture where lifepartner and soulmate

are not the same person (they rarely are ...but it can happen).

But you definitely are my stardust..

my beginning and my end..

even with everything in the middle....

the back and forth,

the absences to togetherness,

the soulmate connection that stands

the

persistence

of time.

I wish ppl could know.

But I also know

there are others out there

who share this love between them

and they are as blessed as we are..

no matter the circumstances.

Sometimes our love can feel like

a hanging weight of a big trout

on the end of a fly rod.. and sometimes

light as air... but no matter what

You are still my stardust forever...

The love that carries forward

no matter what spirit we embody

or emblazon

or stumble across

our ashes to ashes

and dust to dust

through earthly fire

and heavenly realms

It's always been you

Support Rails to Trails Conservancy

This year's route will feature several of the Rails Trails. Rails to Trails is a great way to preserve our past and link trails to our future. Also equestrian preservation in this area is very important. The right to ride declines everyday.

Our Mission

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors to build healthier places for healthier people.

Who We Are

RTC serves as the national voice for more than 160,000 members and supporters, 31,000 miles of rail-trails and multi-use trails, and more than 8,000 miles of potential trails waiting to be built, with a goal of creating more walkable, bikeable communities in America.

Our national office is located in Washington, D.C., with regional offices in California, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Since 1986, we have worked from coast to coast, supporting the development of thousands of miles of rail-trails for millions to explore and enjoy. We’ve helped craft rural trails that spool out over a hundred miles of open prairie, snake through mountain passes, span canyons and hug riverbanks, offering views of the countryside often unknown to the highway traveler. We’ve been a part of the connections between towns and suburbs, linking communities along vibrant corridors in much the same way as the railroads did in their heyday.

RTC’s mission, and its value, is magnified in urban areas, where one mile of trail can completely redefine the livability of a community. Where trails are more than just recreational amenities, creating opportunities for active transportation and physical activity—improving our health and wellbeing—as they safely connect us to jobs, schools, businesses, parks and cultural institutions in our own neighborhoods and beyond.

And, through our promotion of rails-with-trails—trails alongside active rail lines—we are now unlocking the true potential of transportation systems that reflect how people really get around in the 21st century.
