Walked across the parking lot to catch my bus. Or rather wait for 20 minutes for my bus (as it turned out). Wondering if I had enough time to maybe go across to the LCBO and pick up a couple of bottles of that Hobgoblin beer I love. And then I changed my mind and decided I didn’t have enough time. You know how I … Continue reading Just For Me
It’s something maybe I always knew. I know, I know, you always said I romanticised a wee bit, but still my childhood was rather idyllic. I have met many in my travels that would have traded places with me in an instant. Parents who loved each other, I grew up next to Grandma, never went hungry, always knew I was loved. Yadda, yadda, and all … Continue reading 1999, And An Unexpected Journey
“Magic lies in between things, between the day and the night, between yellow and blue, between any two things.” ― Charles de Lint, The Onion Girl Enjoying a quiet Sunday, out on the stoop, and Irish wants to bark at some dog being walked way across the neighbouring parking lot some 500 or more feet. Woof. I sternly say NO. She stops. So, she … Continue reading The Random Happiness Files ~/~ And Magic Happens

Just realized this morning that I probably talk to you more now than I did when you were living. Always your tea towel in the wind, you clung to me so tightly when I was young. I suppose because you knew as soon as you let go, once and for all, I’d be gone. And god knows where bouts I’d land. I’m sure that scared … Continue reading How To Escape Your Loving Mother
Once, somewhere far, far away stood a gate. Under mere stone and mortar multitudes walked; maybe. They walked all the way from paradise towards the unknown; otherwise known as civilization. Or so we say. One could argue this region is the birth of a great shift Homo Sapien Sapien made (us), from hunter-gatherer to pastoralist, to farmer, to simplify thousand or so years that process … Continue reading Is This The Legend Of Us?
And so it was that later I fell asleep, watching god knows what, only waking at midnight. Even then I didn’t bother to turn off the light, or close the door. I just rolled over and had me some more – sleep. And I wasn’t even drunk. I was content. And tired apparently. I awoke again at 3am. But I was like, no way Jose, … Continue reading I Skipped The Light Fantango
A breath in breath out and the Trees are all aglow with the sky so blue This year spring seems to have come so suddenly. Like that old friend, that loved, and cherished friend from days of yore. They sweep right back in, seemingly out of nowhere…and you are filled with such joy for days afterwards. Recalling old times, laughing so much your tummy hurts, … Continue reading Of Spring

A moth has become caught up, blinded by the light, right here beside me. I saw him last night, in all his snowy whiteness. Suppose this means that I should find some moth deterrent of some sort. I’ll google it later. Anywho, not necessarily thinking environmentally of late. But, I am looking at the meaning of life. My life. Daniel Quinn recently penned a, er, … Continue reading The Meaning Of Me
