cat care
I’m sitting in a dark, quiet room in a comfy chair, with a purring cat on my lap. I wish I could stay here a little longer. But it’s only a temporary stop. I’ve taken too long here already. Was just supposed to get mail, feed and scoop after cats and go, but I’m running on empty. Everyone’s been home on spring break all week. I’m tapped out. Zapped out. Needing...

The Wheel
mikefrawley:
The wheel of life is ever turning even as laughing children play
Inexorably toward their future as tomorrow’s seniors faded grey
Spinning though you may resist why waste a moment day or year
It won’t delay for you or me nor shed one solitary tear
Live life now, live it well what’s to gain if you do not
Still waiting for a great event or some degree you haven’t got
The wheel...

dog tired
Is it a bad sign when it’s not yet 9:00a.m., there is still coffee in the pot, and more than anything you just want to go back to bed? I figure it is too early in the day to call it a nap. Puppy was up at 2:30a.m., sometime between 4 and 5, and again at 6:30a.m. That’s when I got up, planning to stay up for the whole entire day. The previous times I took him out, then back in, took him...

not always
I saw someone at church today
whom I haven’t seen in years
from opposites ends of the hallway
we met in the middle
as I drew within earshot
he said of me, ”She’s always smiling.”
I shook me head “no”
and said aloud, “not always”
he stated, “It’s not your husband with cancer.”
I countered with, “Yes. It is.”

Madeline L’Engle Creativity Quote
“Creativity opens us to revelation, and when our high creativity is lowered to 2%, so is our capacity to see angels, to walk on water, to walk with unicorns. In the act of creativity, the artist lets go the self-control which he normally clings to and is open to riding the wind. Something always happens to startle us during the act of creating, but not unless we let go our adult intellectual...

breakfast food analogy
I am toast
and not the pretty golden brown
evenly buttered kind
I’m stuck in the toaster
charred beyond recognition
crumbling burned black toast
evidently when my day starts at 4:30a.m.
by 6-something in the evening I am done
kaput
not worth much
by almost 7:30p.m. I am toast
actually those crumbs in the bottom if the toaster
I may be in bed before the children tonight
unless I...

twinkle twinkle
the stars are out tonight
I thought you’d want to know
Orion is still standing sentry
the mighty hunter
in the night sky
he’s fading though
as the earth orbits the sun
the starscape changes
with the seasons
but that’s the constellation I know
the one I’m sure of
without guessing
will keep an eye out
maybe two
as he disappears
with the coming of Spring
until...
