REALITY: Morning at 5:25
See! See! The moon is there, it was always there; at least for all the years I’ve been here. Or was it? I can’t think that I’m that unaware, or worse, forgetful. I think it may have just started visiting … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Snow
What’s the danger of the snow–aside from slickly greasing smooth black rubber into skids and snowbanks? Caution rules the day, experience alone should tell us that. But snow can damage more by hiding all it covers in its soft white … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: The Moon at 6:15
How strange, that I don’t remember seeing it before. Full moon to the west just over the tree line horizon of my yard. Mornings born of winter, summer, autumn and the spring, I’ve been there always, almost every day and … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Sunday Funday
What a neat day today; reading, writing, playing with computer paintboxes and playing games. Yes, I milked the "I don’t feel good" thing to the hilt–never even got dressed this morning. There’s something about sitting around all day in a … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Good Bad Day
It’s snowing like a mother out there. After freezing my bones all day in a shop that didn’t go above 36 degrees outside of 3 foot circle around the propane stove, I closed up a bit early and clomped through … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Foreseeing the Future
The black morning sky is starred; a surprise, as I wait for the prediction of snow to come true. I am coded to believe that a snow sky is black, and then white and then alive with movement . This … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & WRITING: Lessons
I need to learn to fly–by will alone. Lift off in a graceful wisp of smoke that filters from the part in my hair and leaves it straight and even and untouched by whim. I need to fly away. Continue reading
REALITY: Countdown
All worded out and building to a new space gathering bits of straw and hair to nest in comfort for a day or two until I’m nudged out again and forced to fly and stress about the worms and seeking … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & TECHNOLOGY: = Happy
Good day. Happy day. Managed to maneuver my way through DOS in the old computer to fix it up to a WIN 98 reinstall. Don’t know if that was the problem, but it seemed that the hard drive, which is … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Duality
One of the hardest things for me to reconcile in life, I think, is balance between the worlds of the material and of the mind. If in fact there is a place beyond our given years on earth, and soul … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Philosophy
Oh great to be a Greek thinker. Wearing long dress and sandles; sitting, writing, contemplating. Family fortune replacing need to make a living, civilization not caught up yet to an eight-hour day. Spouting bits of wisdom based in time sought … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Snow
Snow smells like fresh nothing. It feels wet, and cold and soft, and tastes like cool clean spring water. It sounds like swooshes and soft plops on cement, and lands without sound on the bush tops. It looks like white … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: History
What a day; lapwarmer (Del), reading material (Suttree, Macromedia Studio Training, Glimmertrain), pesto/garlic wraps ready to be stuffed for lunch, didn’t have to make the trip to my dad’s house, a computer to fix, bills paid, grocery shopping done, and … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Well, just that; reality
Made something very, very yellow but delicious for dinner tonight. Threw chicken, oysters, celery, Chinese baby corn, and straw mushrooms together with turmeric, curry, dried mustard, ginger, hot prepared mustard, and garlic over lightly fried spaghetti. Excellent flavor; astounding color. … Continue reading Continue reading
