Can I use this image? After all, it does coincidentally look like me! But the real me is inside me. As it is in you--who you are--the real you. Your appearance is the outer look. But you're inside. I didn't plan it--I didn't plan this post. Honestly, I didn't! It doesn't matter, because it's not about me. I'm writing for anybody who finds this of … [Read more...]

Beside Myself
I had to leave town. I had to get gone. I had to disembrace. I had to be forgotten. I had to remain small beside myself. I had to be unmemorable. I had to desert to survive. I had to grieve then go on. I had to disembark. I had to finish it. I had to regain, start over; and again, begin. I had to be ok with being misunderstood, hated; not care … [Read more...]

He was the most giving person I ever knew (besides myself, and I get that from him)-- He was thoughtful, a deep well with great intentions and a process to carry out all the things that meant everything to him … [Read more...]
These Feet
These feet are mine. They don't have to "march up" or walk to the beat of anybody's drum but to their own, and to me. I am every part of myself, internally and externally. I am connected to these feet, just as I am connected to my own heart and soul--to my mind and spirit. I'm not anybody's twin or a manufactured copy of anything. And I'm certainly as … [Read more...]
Apologies from Heaven
"I'm sorry that I left you. That I took off and forsook you. I'm sorry that I chose to misunderstand you. I'm sorry for being a butte when it mattered the most not to be. I'm sorry that I never went back to see you again. To tell you that I really missed you. I'm sorry that I let you down. I'm sorry I was unkind. I'm sorry that It seemed like I forgot you. … [Read more...]
Thoughts & Reflections/Past & Present
This is a black Christmas tree from the prior Christmas, 2019--I just put everything on it this time in a humbug kind of way when I decorated it, this now, last year of 2020. Unless you're standing up close to this tree, it looks dark green--from a few feet away. It ended up being a pretty tree. A picture doesn't do it justice. I had already decided to keep this tree up … [Read more...]
