Memories - How Were They Made?
Writing does not come "easy" to me, no thoughts floating on the breeze drifting from my mind carrying messages down to my fingers tapping on the keys. Never did, never will. No, I have to scrabble for every bit of progress, writing, erasing, writing again, erasing again, editing over and over,... Sign in to see full entry.

Memories
It seems, these days, that I don't spring out of the bed on awakening, the way I used to, all ready to greet the day. No, rather I drag myself up into a sitting position on the side of the bed, groan a little, rub my still-closed eyes, and say to myself that if it wasn't for a need to make a little...

Between Time and Time
In The Light Of The Full Moon ~ It was a full moon last night, my love. It was here with me, so palpable I could reach out my trembling fingers and feel the cool warmth of its beams. It shined upon my head and turned my gray hair into burnished silver just the way you loved. ~ The full moon was here... Sign in to see full entry.

What A Time For A Shock From The Past
By the past, I'm talking twenty-four years ago. Twenty-four years with no personal contact, few photos, many miles between (Oregon, NYC, Seattle. Chicago), and bad feelings, and today the shock arrives by email. Phil doesn't really even know he has brothers. He hasn't seen them since he was ten... Sign in to see full entry.
