The miracle of an Ordinary Saturday
Saturday, I chose to turn off the alarm and sleep as long as dreams would keep me. I surrendered into the daylight right after it arrived. Instead of rising at 5:00 I snoozed and sank back into my jumbled, confusing mind trips until six. I loved the weekend days so there was little chance […]
Happy Earth Day to our lil blue speck
Morning broke with a blush of rose-colored sky. Sunny afternoon- a cloudless sky, typical of spring in my part of Texas Earth Day on our small blue planet. I skipped out of work early to enjoy my small slice of Paradise in the back of the Robin’s egg blue house on Bilbrook Place. Birdsong; House […]
The sadness of today
Today we lost a friend. The thief, this time- Pancreatic cancer. He was younger than both of us. I have an overwhelming sense of sadness; A lump-in-throat, ache-in-chest, Tony has departed the physical earth… Remembering back to the night we met, at his dad’s and Becky’s house… Romeo was massaging Becky and I was feeling excluded, […]

In dreams
Don’t you just hate it when you have dreams that make no sense even wile they are happening? Last night was one of those nights and I, for one, was happy when the alarm stuck a wooden stake in it ending the nightmares at 4:45… Burned out offices, dead people- alive; hanging out with people I do […]
Reverse Negative
Reverse Negative In photography, a reverse negative is a print of the negative image where once was light- now darkness where there is dark, it glows *** I have moments in the shadows seconds in the sunlight there are epochs when daylight seems a darker shade of night… blue satin sky inky velvet night […]
Fatigue
Dawn, not yet broken, I awaken early; birds yet to chirp or coffee to perk. I feel as if I never slept in my dream wracked night. It is still dark! I yawn… already, needing a nap…
Spring Approximately
Today, the Ides of March! I wonder what Caesar was feeling when he awakened on this fateful day many centuries past… I, stepped out into Spring! A wet, overpowering dense fog clinging to plants obscuring everything… equally the warm, wet morning the ensuing rains elicit a smile… greeted by peas and […]
