REALITY AND WRITING: Worthy Words
Sometimes, it just seems egotistical to keep a journal open to the world. Some thoughts that find their way to textual image seem so important, or express such emotional ups and downs, or simply are a vent to get the … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Corporate Mentality
My apologies to Mr. Trump. Continue reading
REALITY: Losing Things
I have lost much dear to me this year, but am also grateful for the almost-tragedies that weren’t. A dear friend of ours is going in for bypass surgery bright and early Monday morning, and this I am pre-counting as … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA, REALITY &WRITING: Weekend Workload
Got a bunch of stuff to do this weekend, and cannot afford the luxury of taking meandering paths. Might need to hover above the maze in a helicopter and touch down here and there. Besides rushing to get a few … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Generational Gaps, Medicine Caps
Every item tells a story, a different story every day. SUN – MON – TUES…all the way through Saturday. We tell our time through daily pills, through cases throughout our lives. Today I brush my teeth and empty pills from … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Spatial Interference
Who would have thought the morning sky could lie? Cirrus cloud feathers track slowly across the blueness of unending space. Odd angles though, in streams not blowing with their brothers. The mark of man, above his earth, has reached far … Continue reading Continue reading

Violets – violins – violence Glad – sad – bad Crusades – blades High jinks – hijacks Morality – mortality Violets – violins – violence. Continue reading
REALITY & WRITING: Night Magicians
Tree frogs, unaware of calendars and turning pages, resuscitate the breathless summer in the early autumn nights. Fiction of a season like a book that shouldn’t end, but lingers in the mind to travel further. Darkness shuts our eyes to … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: TV
Shoot. I love the Discovery Channel. But I do wish they’d warn you a little with the reality bit. I sat through almost an hour of watching people almost drown, but I can’t take seeing a baby elephant stuck in … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Night Changes
Remember? I told you that the night is to be given its due respect, even feared. Yesterday was summer. Autumn crept upon us in the night. Firmly entrenched by morning, making allies of the trees, suddenly dressed in colors of … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Space Fillers
Sometimes I worry that I am taking up more than my share of space. Sometimes I wonder if I leave an empty space behind. Continue reading

REALITY: Focus
How joyously freeing it must be, to dedicate oneself to one pursuit! To live and breathe and pause just to look back at the vanishing point at which one started to value the journey. Shackled to ideas, free to follow … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: The Faucet’s Story
Brushing teeth, watching the water running out the faucet (note, that I do try to shut the faucet off in between, while my husband lets it run at full blast—a source of minor irritation). Bored and gazing out the bathroom … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Opening Doors
Love to watch the backyard in a battle with the wind. Trees, their rain-heavy heads bow and swerve in all directions; an audience in final throes of prayer meetin’, led by a fiery Reverend Storm. I stand just inside the … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY & WRITING: Natural Balance
Night is the Great Equalizer, when trees no longer green and reaching for the height of sky become one with it. When no one thing or person is a this or that, when all are black within a universal space. … Continue reading Continue reading
