I call him Romeo but he was never really all that romantic or necessarily faithful… My soul recognized his soul thirty eight years ago this Spring. I was tangled up in dreamy, impractical love adoring and clinging, jealous, possessive love. Other women warned me his grandmother, his mother and both of his previous wives… male […]

In winter’s grasp
I was hopeful, with the new year to gather new inspiration or, if not that at least energy… so far, not so. It has been a January of inaction mostly I am a good (or bad) three weeks behind in a poetry on-line class I could not wait to begin… I am paralyzed by Winter. […]
Remains of my day
The rain splattering on the deck awakened me before the alarms sequentially started the morning wake up sequence. Rain! I am hopeful that means fewer grains of pollen per million as my head is about to explode. Traffic crawls. I crawl with it. The hospital and it’s normal insanity are not going anywhere… Crisis follows mayhem; a new […]

Out of the blue
January 2, 2014 Today, quite unexpectedly, I received a Christmas letter from a dear friend. It gave my heart pangs of grief as I attended her funeral on December 17, exactly one week after the funeral of my father. “Jinger” and my dad were nearly the same age. I first met her when she was a patient at a hospital where […]

Teetering on the edge
My days seem to drip down more rapidly now, as I am standing near the edge of another New Year… Time drifts in the sand dial as Remembered broken resolutions elicit both sighs and whys; lofty challenges tossed out in the mine-paths of my already too-filled days, get tucked away in the over-stuffed files of […]

We are family~~~~
January 6, 2013 It has not quite been a week since I returned to my blog…planning to continue writing here weekly for all of 2013. It has so far not proved to be too difficult…not with-standing the pain I have sitting here perched on the edge of a wooden straight-back folding chair in this wreck […]
