When The Stranger Becomes Less Strange
In so many ways I strangled my youthful self with my intensity, and my ‘deep thoughts’. No ones fault, just an acknowledgement of the person I was born as in this life – serious, deep, emotional, caring, and true as the sun and the moon. Mom, I find myself in a completely different head space of late. Perhaps its the onset of spring, more sunshine … Continue reading When The Stranger Becomes Less Strange

Exit Stage Left @1911
How is it that I manage to attract these damaged souls? Em? Any ideas Mom? The last time I saw her I was off hailing a taxi, and by the time I got back she was gone. POOF. Vanished. I got out of the taxi, and I looked up and down the street, walked a little ways, but I could not find that lady in … Continue reading Exit Stage Left @1911
Out And About In A Meadow

along the river of solace
and by that river i could shed my tears, in isolation, with no prying eyes. down by the river, away from the chaotic, mesh of human flesh that swarmed every pocket of the University Campus, and there I drew into myself the beauty around me. to remind me of the sound of it, the smell of it. down by the river i found peace, silence, a refuge from … Continue reading along the river of solace
This & That
I stand there sometimes, you know, and just watch the world go by. I was just doing that now. Watching the cars go in and out of the parking lot next door. Its a bank, and being a Friday, must be payday for some, like me. Was a good week, atleast almost. It began fine, and up until Wednesday night I would have probably chocked … Continue reading This & That
Fall Down Go Boom
And you know what Mom? Wishes do come true. Whilst I was tidying up outside, and looking damn hot in my red short sleeve sweater shirt and culottes, well who bicycles past my little secret garden? Twiddle-dee, and twiddle-dumn…otherwise known as mystery.texter & and mr.blue.eyes. The whole thing happened so perfect, I swear, I couldn’t have scripted it better, it was like something I would … Continue reading Fall Down Go Boom
At A Crossroads
It would appear it tis that time again – time to reassess the relationship landscape and see if they really are all that and a bag of chips. I’ve seen Crossroads guy every night and every morn, for the last two weeks. Every night I get home from work, give him a call, and off I’d stroll with Irish in tow. He’d have beer on … Continue reading At A Crossroads
Adrift, Afloat, At Peace
A Day off. AHHHH. After working 6 days in a row, after staring blankly at a screen stuck inside on a beautiful sunny day, I got off the bus yesterday and walked to a dinner party where Crossroads man was BBQing at a Buddhist New Year’s party. Afloat, waltzing down the sidewalk on that beautiful sunny warm day, finally FREE. …more AFLOAT Continue reading Adrift, Afloat, At Peace
Menopause Madness And Me
Dear GOD, make it stop. This whirlwind of emotional turmoil, this up, and down, and up, and down. Turns, and twists, and happy bliss, and then deep dives into this sorrow that I don’t think I could possibly describe sufficiently, but to say the intensity can be overwhelming. The madness of menopause has overtaken me, and I am what could be termed sometimes an emotional … Continue reading Menopause Madness And Me
Just So You Know
Right…so… he showed up at my door, completely unexpectedly Thursday night, after another really bad day. That bad day had been preceded by other previous bad days earlier in the week. MsL calls them the Menopause Crazies…and coupled with a big’ol’panic attack, just for added flavour, well, I had me one hell of a fantastically awful week. So there I am wrapped up in my … Continue reading Just So You Know
