Time for a little self mockery (and also self-indulgence) for the chance to gain some perspective. I seem to be waking up on the wrong side of the bed lately. In my bed this is not hard to do since all but a small corner is surrounded by walls. As one might imagine then getting […]
As frequently happens, my sister and I are on the same wavelength. This happens so often and in such a freaky way one would swear we are twins. The true irony is that while I was still snuggling in the womb, the docs thought I WOULD be twins. Go figure. She recently let out a howl of […]
Once again I have been honored with an amazing reward! I may have even slightly earned it this time: But this reward comes with great responsibilities, ones that I need to prepare for. Among other things I have been volunteered to create a T-shirt for the “Monty Python and the Holy Grail Holy War BlogApocalypse […]
Having been silent for a few days now (partially because the electricity went out when that hellion Irene wandered through), it is now time to write something new. What better than the newest 100 word challenge. This weeks prompt: …the alarm went off… I lived my life with blinded eyes. My ears did not hear. The world […]
Lately understanding has been eluding me. A question has been lingering: “Why?” Why does effort frequently get little reward, while whim and seeming luck reaps major benefits? Why does it often seem that good struggles when evil flourishes? Why is pain more notable than pleasure? So of course I went on a journey to find the answer. I […]
I sat on the bench, looking out over the lush little valley I was in. This man-made oasis of beauty in the middle of the Arizona desert was a both a haven and a challenge. I came here to reconnect. With my self. With nature. With the world. I was feeling on the cusp of some great revelation. Both at one with […]
As I journey more and more in this new adventure I have set upon, I face new challenges every moment. This is to be expected, and I am not complaining. My mind has been stagnating for far too long, so a good bit of regular exercise for it is just what it needed! Of course what I am doing […]
I am in one of those modes where I feel I need to write something, but have no idea what I want to write. So I am going to just start the fingers going on the keyboard and see where I end up. I did the unusual and actually started with a title. Rarely works that way […]
It is odd how opening the doors of Creativity can also let other things emerge. Or maybe it is not so odd. Seems to me Creativity resides in the same part of the house as Experience and Emotions. If not in the same room they definitely share the hall. So it is no wonder that […]
I took a walk today. I thought I knew where I was going, but about half way there I realized that I did not really know why I wanted to go there. So I took a left. Walked a few dozen feet and took a left again. I have been on this road before, but […]
