when I fled almost everything to save my life, 2009 around this time of year,
2 things I did:
1) attend Gypsy Lore Society annual meeting (which happened to be in Helsinki, Finland)
to learn more about my heritage (because, Romany-Sinti, all kumpaniya-tribes, have been excluded from life AND K-12 standards/books in nation-states around mother earth, so I knew very little and was suffering from ignorance, intolerance, hate, violence, Romaphobia/antiGypsyism, delayed academic - cultural development, systematically left behind without tools of knowledge to eradicate "evil" an d wisdom to transmute violence);
2) then visited with my birth families, Finnish And Finnish-Romany.
Have not been back to Finland since then, u know, inter-continental travel is not as simple as it appears.
(i snapped pic of 11th Pres. of Finland (2000 - 2012), Tarja Halonen, opening 2009 GLS conference.)
First visit to Finland since 1970 birth, but only birth ma's side, was 1998.
Second and third visits to Finland I met my Finnish-Romany fam, too: 2000, 2002.
Talk amongst yourselves: Unless they are dead, when is the last time u saw your birth father and his family, like your sibs, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles? Your birth ma and her family, like sibs, cuzns, antis, unks?

pre-pre-exhibition) we have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; we have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry: thanks god for helping us all ~Romans 8:15 as far as east is from west is how far transgression is removed from us ~Psalm 103:12
EXHIBIT A) fb memory 24 Aug 2015 with 3 "pasi" pics... This morning I pick up my Finnish Passi, I feel adoption issues, guilt and shame prevalent, guilt maybe for being wrong human at birth to daily Stoopid mistakes I make. Shame, I don't even know all of my families names or languages and even when I do it's hard to communicate truths that maybe they think I don't love them. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, I try to abide and censor, but then I have a hard time thinking straight, and I act skewed, like a attention deficit bipolar deprespoid, thanks goodness now I know I'm not all that ADHD*biPol*dep stick , I'm just knob adopted in a world that misunderstands, Love. Daily adoption issues are triggered, yes, and reaction seems perhaps so intensely inflamed, well because it's a pile up you see.....easier to take good care and end standard reign of terror when you know with what you are dealing.

EXHIBIT B) fb memory 24 Aug 2015 with pic of salt, pepper, and EVOO plated... Hard to talk about, we'd rather not, but reality it's been 61 days since my lover got his bell rung. thank god he's breathing playing walking talking smiling amidst head trauma and post traumatic stress syndrome healing, extra basic slow roll we try to go, taking assessments and inventories, healing therapies, mostly from imperfect me. #salt #pepper #plate #EVOO #lime #good #time #space #regenerate #MindOverMatter
EXHIBIT C) fb memory 24 Aug 2015 with pic of pound cake... Yes, most moments but not all, I am able to help my husband these days, some times, I totally fail, in epic hideous heinous assholio form, stress accident triggers my adoption issues and I am learning to suck it up and send it back to the universe to burst beautiful even quicker. What used to take years now takes moments most days of the week. Miracles happen, I have learned to believe, and sincere apologies and healthy sweet treats in the MEANtime makes nice. thank you for your loving prayers, like it's already been done, yes, miracles happen daily, yo yo yo amen Amin OM

We have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; we have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry: thanks god for helping us all ~Romans 8:15. gonna go play with myself now my cards some more
I love u all. Carry om.



footnotes from m'self to our'selves, Kaale/Mustalainen/Black/FinnishRomanyGypsyme
part of "my""werk" is "play to stay alive and thrive".
part of my exercise is to spit it out,
shit out this shit finally in the first place.
please don't tell me to refine refine refine thanks
for that superior, holocaustic train of thought
underscores extent of exclusion and slavery to this day thanks
adopt a draft, rough, incomplete, kind of like me,
god only knows if this is close to conveyance
and please pardon sarcasm, hate, intolerance, violence,
danger steer clear, that's my amygdala fearfully reacting to ongoing racism/loss/abuse/neglect.
what?
did u think that's who i truly am?
there's that erase-ism, racism again.
me, too; I kin relate.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me. And thank you. I love you all, and Ho'oponopono.
eye love u, Spirit, thank u for helping me pull the cards included in this post

pre-exhibition) on the alchemy of learning.....Every human being adopts relevant knowledge, aspirations, skills, attitudes, behaviors, animals, babies, cultures, etc. for life needed, wanted, desired to overcome each/every loss, as life and that being keep changing here + there + beyond, while dancing with 6 predictable cards: guilt and shame, mastery and control, rejection, identity, intimacy, grief.

Ghost Whisperer, Season 1- Episode 5 - "Lost Boys", part about orphan whose bro gets adopted but he doesn't, reminds me how I "have" an older non-Romany half-birth-bro who was abandoned at Finnish orphanage ~2 years before me, but after a spell, maternal grandparents recovered him (they forced my then-adolescent-ma to relinquish him initially), and raised him with my/his birth ma.
