Calm mornings at the beach... The sea oats are already turning from green to gold to brown, about to drop their seeds for next spring. A Poem Walking down my stairs, I see a lizard. It turns and looks at me, tilting her head! I wonder, WHAT does she see?... Continue reading

Strange Landscape...

I'd Forgotten...
Image
I'd almost forgotten that daffodils were my Mom's favorite flower. She'd be 100 this year, if she had survived her difficult challenges - impending divorce, depression, alcoholism. Back in the 70's it was all behind closed doors. I'll never know her as a wise old woman, but as a woman,... Continue reading

March Winds...

March winds, and look at the trees. What are they whispering to each other and now they are laughing! How many years have they stood side by side chattering in the wind and silent in the calm air? How many years? How many stories in all that time? Old souls,... Continue reading

Requited Love

"Are they coming?" "Yes, I see them now." "You look good." "You're a sight for sore eyes too!" "It's funny, you and me. I never imagined that I'd fall in love with...well, you!" "Yeah, it is funny. You're not changing your mind are you?" "No, even if I could, I... Continue reading

Why Parallel?
Image
Well, the rest of the story from yesterday's post is this: when I am reading a book and have to put it aside to do other things, the characters stay with me, sort of like parallel lives. I am wondering how that date is going to go with the hired... Continue reading

Parallel Worlds...
Image
That's what a good story provides, a Parallel universe. Introducing characters and places that you never imagined or would ever bump into in your everyday life. Between books and some of the marvelous shows streaming on television, you can be in outer space one minute, in Kabul the next, or... Continue reading

A Simple Solution...
Image
Respect That's the word that seems to be missing from the conversation about harassment and abuse. Respect. That powerful men abuse their power is nothing new.

Every day the sun rises, whether we see it or not, the rotation of the earth allows for one sunrise and one sunset a day. On the International Space Station the sun rises and sets about 15 times a day! It's a shift in perspective, a way different point of... Continue reading
