REUNION...PT 2

This town was small enough that income levels didn’t really matter that much. In Longview, the school I had attended was in a suburb where nearly everyone was in the same income level, lower to lower middle class, but the town itself had some wealthy folks – or at least folks who lived like they...

REUNION...PT 1

A couple of weeks ago I drove into my past……spent 48 hours there and returned to this time and place. I still am not sure about those 48hours, how I feel about them, where to put them in my thoughts about “the big picture of my life”….but let’s not put the cart before the horse. I went to a small...

THE HUSBAND...MORE OF THE STORY...PT 3

It was the hottest day in many a Kansas Citysummer. I don’t remember the exact temperature but it was a record. The night before the air conditioning had gone out. I don’t know how to describe the heat of that July 15 th as I sat in the kitchen of what would become legally my home in a few hours….by... Sign in to see full entry.

THE HUSBAND...MORE INTO THE BEGINNING - PT. 2

I was like a bubble, floating sealed in my own environment, in a world full of people determined to see me happy again. I'm a happy person by nature.....I make eye contact and smile, it's just automatic with 99.9% of my interactions with people. I find the humor in the most horrid of situations,...

THE HUSBAND...IN THE BEGINNING...PART 1

My first memories of Husband are vague because I was completely besotted with Jim at the time. Husband was Jim’s polar opposite…..Jim was in the last days of losing touch with reality and had taken to dressing strangely, like some kind of psychedelic hippie – something he had never been; instead he...

JUST SOME POEMS I LIKE TO HEAR AND READ...

I used to read a lot of poetry....haven't done that much in the last several years and I miss it. I also love to listen to music and find a lot of wonderful poets in the musicians that I have loved for years.....Van Morrison comes immediately to mind, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, the...

RAINBOWS AND LEFT TURN EPIPHANY

I had a bit of an epiphany last night as I drove into Llano, after having driven in from Kingsland. It had been a strange day, weather-wise, bright and shiny and now starting to cloud up. I had spent the day trying to jam in a lot of to do’s still hanging over my head before I head back to work on... Sign in to see full entry.

WEATHER

I'm watching The Weather Channel as this large super cell system tries its best to form a nightmare over the city of Norman, Ok. I've been watching it for almost an hour. It's fascinating as the storm almost takes on a personality, trying its best to gather all its power together and turn into a big... Sign in to see full entry.

STRANGE REASSURANCE...BUT IT WORKS FOR ME

The reunion I just attended put the finishing touch on another aspect of my recent trip that I’ve been trying to find a way to best put into words. I’m talking about the feelings and ideas that got pitched into my brain’s back burner simmer pot as I passed different billboards and various... Sign in to see full entry.

OVER THE RAINBOW...JUST A NOTE ABOUT EMPATHY

I’ve thought about doing a post on empathy before because it’s such a huge part of my life.....but I haven’t quite figured out how to approach it yet. I dance around it, talking about my passion for this or that....which, in fact, if very often I think a form of empathy but I’ll leave that for now.... Sign in to see full entry.
