WRITING & REALITY?: A Drive on The First Sunday of Spring
Forsythias, oh Forsythias! Greek gloriously named seers, yellow-mouthed mini-trumpets of Spring. Blond Daffadowndillies from brown bulb roots grow, after applying Spring Clairol they are ready to show. Gone, I see, are the lavendar crocus lips that quenched the thirst of … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Timing
I am wonderfully, deliciously alone this weekend. Except for working in the shop today, I can do whatever I want to do. I will blast Willie up on the stereo, and I shall eat sloppy stuffed tacos. I shall pretend … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Head Candy
I awoke this morning with a god-awful headache that I suspect was caused from swelling. Thank you all for your congratulations on the honor mentioned below (see how I managed to get it in one more time? I’m no dummy–I … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING & REALITY?: Journeys
Fifty years and more of walking the perimeter, spotting tempting trees to climb and voices telling, “no, you can’t do that,” and wanting even more to do so then. Whispers say, “well, try it, try it,” but fear of falling … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Mankind
How can one, knowing that truth and beauty do exist, continue on the same path? How does one manage to still care of curtains, beef or chicken, ponder politics? Set standards, progress, lack of space prevent one going back in … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Mondays
As I ran out the door this morning to keep a nine a.m. appointment with my accountant, I took one last stab and found the remortgaging papers he would need. Most years, my books are so up-to-date and well done … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Post Holiday Letdown
Well the furniture is all back in place, I’ve cleaned the raspberry jello off the carpet, the leftovers are smooshed inside the refrigerator, and I’m dead tired. Still have the taxes to finish up, and a meeting notice for Narratives … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Easter Story
If your sense of humor is a bit warped, like mine, check out J-Walk’s Easter Story. I don’t want to get involved in political correctness or gender or racial jokes, but it seems to me that freedom of speech should … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Easter Sunday
Whether you are looking for Easter eggs and chocolate rabbits, enjoying an aromatic baked ham, relaxing on a Sunday afternoon, or reflecting on the story of one Man Who lived a life of love and peace as an example to … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Update
Well, the eggs turned out lovely, my bulka rose and smells wonderful, I’m starting the water to boil the piorogi, the sauerkraut has been simmered with butter and zyzpki (sp.) which are those fifty-dollar a pound Polish dried mushrooms that … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Bah-humbunny!
Anybody else screw up their Easter eggs? Remind me to never, never, never buy those weird swirly egg dye kits ever again. After boiling the eggs and not having so much as one even crack, I starting coloring them. I … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY?: Uh-oh.
Uh, tomorrow is Easter Sunday, isn’t it? Can’t believe I put everything off until the last minute. The problem with stress is that it inhibits productivity and everything takes twice as long to do because nothing is well-thought out. The … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Dark
It is difficult to think differently when stubbornly holding onto one’s beliefs and peace. We cling like leeches to a satisfying meal of blood, and blood to writers is a state of mind; free-flowing thoughts that transcend the commonplace and … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY?: Equalization
Dead-on noon; the backyard is just a different colored sky. Shades of blue are green, and clouds and birds told only by their shape and size of moving shadowed shades of grey. At noon, up and down is one. Continue reading
