#ABPOS "The Thinner Soul", Chp. 4


Radiance- Off years are fun; breakfast, brunch, dinner, a dog park with a friend for a walk, an over-zealous meeting with no real mind to get going.  I've got sticky notes for days, stacked atop each other.. with horizontal sidelines and vertical bylines.  It all just sits there until suddenly there comes a fire under your pants.  I received a wedding dress eight years ago and it naturally ruined my tour.  Finding that landing for my eyes, keeping the mind in one lane, and pretending that I wasn't imagining him coming to the edge of the stage to say "I told you so".  Whether the fans felt the detachment or not, is unknown to me.  I might have heard a rumor or two but I kept my ears fixed on the real critics, and what felt like embarrassment was labeled endearing and empathetic.  

He's been with me in five different countries and has surprised me many times, but there's something that severed our bond way back there.  I call it counsel.  Reece calls it a raft.  And Kaylin probably calls it grace.  

These days the fire and the flame is for the one whose ring I wear, and the only tremor in my heart is the thought that there's no more road for Radiance Dunbar.  Eaton?  Well, he may be the dress hanger.  And as for the number eight, you've never seen a wedding dress until you've seen a dress from Eight up close.  The shimmer, the perfection of seams, the choice of stones and beaderies.  I still don't know how I walked it to the trash two times, but it happens.  John came boldly when I was hanging her back up, and whether he thinks I'm hiding a guy in my closet or not.. nobody goes in there and I do mean nobody.  Likewise, I'm not allowed in his bathroom, and I've found that equality has a positive effect on relationships.  Problem is there's no equality in the sentiments that they leave behind.  One's working on it, and one was born with it.  One deals in contracts, and one writes contracts.  And with John he's probably more apt to pick out my shoes and not the dress.  Four months to the big countdown and all my prayers are that he doesn't find out about my untamed heart.

Reece- Just yesterday we were Ample Records and now all anyone ever talks about is the blog.  The deal was good.  It took us into a universe of our own, but blood is thicker than water and she did cut him.  They both did, and I didn't know how much of him was still in me.  Although, no one ever knows how he gets to her or why they're the thicker family.  I suppose it doesn't matter.  Just like Sam keeps his background as safe keeping, so do I.. and what we've built is nothing like water.  Sam, Jeff, and I keep all Ample pockets alive.  Although Radiance is trying to get her surf on the boards again, and I'm not setup to get in her way.  We're Ample; Independent Royalty.. and we call the records.  That's what K-Ezra needs to know and all her fans.  I still look over the contract Kayla wrote from time to time, and now that's contract royalty.  I just couldn't see Kaylin's shade of green coming; and the savior, she's got fans you don't want to touch.  But nobody sees the bricklayers up this high, and it's all a learner's game.  There are no teachers.. only learners and fans.

A Better Pair of Shoes "The Thinner Soul", a novel- Chapter 9

 Thank you for following UnEarth and A Better Pair of Shoes "The Thinner Soul", a novel.   (Click on the Image to open a clearer view) #ABPOS The Thinner Soul, Chp. 9 Reece-   Women in business.  Always a friendly fight. We built what became of Ample Records; the household name and the phenomenon.  I'm overseer of management, and Kaylin walked away with all her publishing rights and most of the fame.  With "Death to Forty" the legacy continues.  I'm slouched in my seat when they come through the door one after each other like Dunbars do.  I know it's just the way the clock struck them.   I'm stunned by her resolve, but we're all stunned by each other's resolve.  They're book publishing royalty and we're new money in music, but it's one room, and we know how we all got here.  I'm sitting upright by the time everyone sits.  Radiance is not far behind with her heart shaped lenses.  "Nice Shot."  Sam congra...

A Better Pair of Shoes "The Thinner Soul", a novel - Chapter 7 and 8

(Click on the Image to open a clearer view) #ABPOS "The Thinner Soul", Chp. 7 Monica Shepherd-   What is it with guys and art galleries this millennia: a general period of righteousness and happiness?  It's the new wave of hoppers.  I used to stand at the corner of the gallery and watch loads of women come through looking for their life's subject in the canvases on the walls.  Now it's unknown males just staring with whatever the search hidden deep within.  I haven't been able to pin point the caravan in their hearts or the subjects lingering in their messenger bags.  I'm captured by his gaze.  Standing from behind it's still a deep gaze.  I'm studying his selections; where his feet are led to stop, and he appears to have a solid question.  I mean.. the three artists, the stories, and their gifts.  I study them all as they come and go.  I know the types they draw, and I know he's coming my way.  It was the recognition he a...
