I Skipped The Light Fantango
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
Of Spring
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

The Meaning Of Me
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

Looking Back At The Beginning
Just got the notion to give away some of the old backgrounds. All the ideas, creations and toying I’ve done over the last four years with this blog. Some of them I do love, but just don’t fit with my theme, or focus, or feel I want now. I can’t help but think about that small group of early followers from those first 30 days. … Continue reading Looking Back At The Beginning
The Random Happiness Files ~/~ And Around And Around We Go
§ Part Two § On foot, camera in hand, the landscape surrounded me. With gently rising pastures, broken only by hedgerows and ancient split rail fences. The only sound, the birds and the crunch of the gravel underfoot. Those days will be remembered as much for their dichotomy, as for the grief. Suppose, really, all four years with Tim were the best of times, and … Continue reading The Random Happiness Files ~/~ And Around And Around We Go
The Random Happiness Files ~/~ When The Walls Came Tumbling Down
§ Part One § The year was 1989, and we had moved there from this dinky attic apartment downtown. This new place was spacious, backing onto the Thames, with generous size rooms, high ceilings, and neat architectural features. Oh, and it had a back deck. It was there we first brought the kittens home, and named them Gizmo and Shoe. It was there that my … Continue reading The Random Happiness Files ~/~ When The Walls Came Tumbling Down
Of Landscape & Soul
“There is an internal landscape, a geography of the soul; we search for its outlines all our lives. Those who are lucky enough to find it ease like water over a stone, onto its fluid contours, and are home. Some find it in the place of their birth; others may leave a seaside town, parched, and find themselves refreshed in the desert. There are those … Continue reading Of Landscape & Soul
Those 9 Foot Ceilings And Me
So Mom, been thinking lately of a switcheroo within my living space. Rrrreallllyy pre-occupied lately with it. Currently, I have my floor plan laid out in a pathway through the furniture like a horseshoe. Great Grandma’s dresser, with its wavy old mirror, greets you at the small foyer I created with my wicker divider. In Feng Shui, they suggest always positioning mirrors across from the … Continue reading Those 9 Foot Ceilings And Me
