REALITY?: Nature
Another word this week that keeps repeating in my ear, nature. I sat outside just now and watched a bat at dinner. Amazing little creatures as they flutter through the evening sky, dipping, angling, crossing back and forth until they’ve … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY? & Blogging: Natural
We’ve been blessed, this year, with an exceptional amount of warm Spring mornings. The air is fresh, cool breezes blow, birds skim through space graceful and unhurried. I felt an urge to dance naked on the lawn today, content at … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY? & WRITING: Habits II
Crap. Every time I figure I’m ready to pull the plug some jackass comes along and sticks another quarter in the slot. El esposo tells me how proud he was of me at the honors ceremony, and that he hadn’t … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Habits
Reality is forcing me to moderate my spare time habits. As well as putting more time into my home–the back yard flora and fauna aren’t calling, they’re screaming–and getting caught up with my workload during the all too brief break … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Common Sense
I run into the house from the frameshop for a quick something to eat. Running by, I log onto Spinning, open my e-mail program, grab a bag of pretzels and a slice of cheese to settle a moment, read and … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: & WRITING: Cycles
Moods synchronomous with daylight, sun and moon, daily, monthly, stages in our lives. Perception and Interpretation of the world we live in; acceptance that the answers are different every time. How can someone not like the taste of glorious mushrooms? … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Nature and Natural
An incredibly beautiful day. What a day to turn to dust and spend just “blowin’ in the wind” to see the world and get a glimpse of answers. All my thoughts of man and his kind wrapped up in a … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Fair Weather Friends
The hummingbirds are back. Jim pointed out a male Ruby-throat sitting on a bush in the back yard, just about an hour after I finally put out the feeders. For the past couple of years, I’ve noticed a female first. … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Creating
I love the physical feel of a pencil in my hand. I love to watch the trails it makes on paper. Writing, drawing, algebra, tomorrow’s grocery list. Lines that squiggle and squirm, go straight to meaning or swirl around combining … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Forming Memories
A personal, good feeling thing I’d like to share: My sister just returned from a week up north of watching her three grandchildren while their dad is in training sessions down south and their mom works hard at both taking … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING & REALITY?: My place within them
It should be pretty evident by now that I’m easily lost within the depths of greater thinking. I must then turn back to seek my own purpose in life, and maybe that is just court jester, the entertainment needed by … Continue reading Continue reading
WRITING & REALITY?: Honesty
I have not been totally honest with you all, and feel the need to come clean. Spinning is actually being produced by a ghostwriter. In other news, it’s 2:22 here in the eastern U.S. Checking Bloglines reveals 27 new entries … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Truth
I’m having a hard time today winning an argument with myself. Basically, while I want so badly to not only understand, but be able to form an intelligent opinion on some of the things that are currently in the news, … Continue reading Continue reading
WRITING & REALITY?: Life
Cliché: Life is full of ups and downs. Truth: Most of life, in between its stages, is spent crablike, moving sideways. Even Super Mario meets brick walls, and leaps up to scamper across a new plateau. I suppose that there … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Melancholia
Just a general sense of things not going well. Little things that pile up like kindling ready to blaze into a bonfire. I come from a long line of strong women who do well under pressure; we bake for funerals, … Continue reading Continue reading
