I have been wandering in shadows lately. Not the shadows of a summer’s evening sky, where there is still the subtle glow of the retiring day. Those are pleasant shadows, shadows that cool and cause peaceful reflections. I have been stuck in the endless dark shadow of the subconscious mind. The irony is that there is no rule that […]
What exactly am I doing here? That is the question I seem to be asking myself all the time these days. I am caught in a loop. Why am I doing what I am doing? For that matter, what exactly AM I doing? And why do I keep doing it if I don’t know why […]
I just wrote a tongue in cheek post about how silly Social Networking can be. And while I do laugh at it, I also find it very disturbing. It seems to me, that in our constant search to “improve” the human condition, we are actually straying further and further away from being human. The new […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I seem to have lost the energy for daily posts again. I am petering out. Still struggling with the whole “Why bother?” dilemma. Why do I blog? Why do I rant; wax poetic/pathetic; ramble on in words and photos? What do I hope to achieve? What does anyone hope to achieve? All of a sudden […]
Often if I am invited to a costume party and can’t go for some reason, I will basically say that I DID in fact go, but I was in costume so no one could see me. The costume of course being the invisible man. There is actually a point to that one sentence anecdote. Yesterday was […]
I am in a rather weird place lately. Not so much my physical location. That has not changed and is no more weird (or not weird) then it ever was. I live in purgatory (a.k.a. suburbia) so not much changes here. Not much actually happens here for that matter. If one wishes to find signs […]
Yesterday was “J” in the A to Z challenge. Once again I am a day late. Not doing so well in the discipline department. Ah well … Bars! Surprisingly strong! Yet invisible … Chains built in the same forge. Also unseen. I must get out! JAILER!! (jailer …) LET ME OUT!! (please oh please)For an eternity, […]
This is an idea I have had floating around for some time now, and today being F day in the A to Z challenge, it is time to share it! Cultures, like individual people, have well-defined characters. And also like people, these characters are often best displayed in the activities we most take for granted. […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Sometimes it seems as if life is just a dream. In dreams transitions make sense. Connections are clear in a way that to the “awake” mind seem just random. I think I might be dreaming now. A year ago Bandersnatches … inspired by Alice in Wonderland … a week ago a creative prompt …‘What was the rabbit late […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Despite my last post, I have still been struggling a little with that whole get out of bed concept. Reminders need to get from the head to the soul to be truly effective. Yesterday I did my best to actually do nothing … by intent. Not in avoidance, not out of boredom, but to simply BE for […]
