ANGER...FAMILY TIES...ROOTING IT OUT...RELEASING IT

My dad had a very forceful voice, a speaker’s voice which was handy as his chosen profession was as a teacher briefly, and then a school administrator.....something which called for regularly getting up and speaking in school assemblies, pep rallies and board meetings; and, of course, this led to...

I LOVE FLOWERS

I think I mentioned I don’t enjoy gardening but love the results…..yards and flowers is what I’m thinking when I say this. Fresh tomatoes are a passion but that’s it when it comes to growing fresh vegetables; I mean I love all the rest of it as memories from my childhood tell me, and stops at...

WORD GAME...JUST A BIT OF FUN WHEN YOU'RE BORED

Being Silly....Because Word Games Are Fun! Do you think you can write Lines that make sense and count, In two ways, not just one? (See, I start out with six.) Am I mistaken In my counting here? Do you find yourself Checking syllables? Will I make it? I am at four… Three more stanzas And I am done!... Sign in to see full entry.

TWICE IN MY LIFE

Twice in my life I’ve had my heart held in the hands of another… Felt that I was cared for and safe, held fast and sure while I rested… It’s a peace beyond all understanding unless one has it themselves, For words don’t exist for the feeling of that burden’s brief release. See, the heart is rarely... Sign in to see full entry.

DESIRE EXCAVATED...DESIRE MOURNED

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately....as I’ve talked to my daughter about issues in her marriage, and I’ve watched Olivia turning 18 and I have no idea what her personal life is like. I recently spent a vacation week with my best friend and another old friend, both of a certain age; and then... Sign in to see full entry.

THE HOUSE STORY...AND THE YARD CRISIS

My mom built this house after my dad died at 56. He had retired at 55 and they were going to build their home somewhere here in the Hill Country, close to the lake house they had already purchased in a cove next to lots with four long-time friends….their planned, and saved-for, carefully sculpted...

I MARRIED BUCKY ON THE REBOUND FROM THIS RELATIONSHIP....NOT SUDDENLY, WE DATED TWO YEARS.....BUT I WAS DETERMINED TO NEVER GET INTO ANOTHER CRAZY RELATIONSHIP AGAIN.

MANDALA...ALA...LA...LA

I flew a magic carpet yesterday, on a silver ribbon through the hills And fell asleep from the gentle lull, of soft and undulating waves From blue skies like an ocean bleached by soft white clouds Thrown hither and yon…nay…..placed just so, forming just this and that. I dreamt as I slept on my... Sign in to see full entry.

TOSS AND CALL...(A 2005 RE-POST)

You kissed me…… And my life left the path I thought meant for me to dance on Went flying up into the stars like a coin tossed and called heads or tails And screaming down the other side like a roller coaster on a wooden track Then hovering somewhere like a hummingbird as I waited to breathe.
