FANTASIZING, MAKING-BELIEVE...TURNING RIGHT, INSTEAD OF GOING STRAIGHT

THE UPSIDE OF STORMS
Thunder rumbling….cracking the sky into pieces that fall down in the night - Flashes illuminate the darkness outside with jolts of eerie brightness…out of place; The trees look naked and startled to be standing there, so suddenly exposed……. And voices of neighbors standing out on balconies and...

Men! They are so blind to the favoritism life bestows on them….well, that is my view. So they are the first called to war……so what….for the most part, they cause them….. For the most part, it is the vanity need for power that demands one rule over another…. The testosterone driven turf wars and...

The Trouble With Thinking...
The softness of leather, the smell of it ……like nothing else but what it is….life. That may sound strange, but that is the allure of fur and leather…the feeling of life.
