slack reins don’t necessarily render a runaway horse. months of lightbulb moments have finally taught me to abandon my vice-like grip on the outcome. there is no race, no blue ribbon prize to win at the finish line. mine is an open field, opponent-free course. my ugly, nasty ego tries to place enemies and landmines [...]

the way i see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. ~dolly parton i knew there was something behind my coveting of a nice, nasty rainstorm here and there. how blessed am i for the colors of these magnificent rainbows and the lessons of storms gone by? lately i’ve [...]

dropping the weight….

spring has arrived. at least in my world. yesterday, after a dour winter and fall, where hearts hung heavier than normal, i awoke with a lightness and levity i hadn’t felt in years. although my wakeup call, circa 2:17am, involved the sound of jones, aka sweet baby, relieving his 125 lb bladder in our master [...]

my favorite season….
March 20th, 2012 · 3 Comments · beasts, HH, ramblings
every spring is the only spring – a perpetual astonishment. ~ellis peters this spring i look forward to new paths undiscovered, and old, cherished paths re-excavated. i will breathe in the redolence of flowers blooming fresh, and linger longer than my typical bunny hop. i will bring the inside out; creating quiet castle-building in the [...]

wide open spaces…..

the walls of my town felt rather snug this morning. a modified, sideways step downstairs seemed apropos to accommodate the suddenly close-grained walls of the house. i awakened with a newfound urge to abide where the architecture is hidden and few, where my soundtrack is breeze and moonlight. i long to fall free into a [...]

make like a tree….

lately, a quiet obsession with trees has overtaken me. i find myself often looking up, awestruck by the majestic, unique beauty i see from one trunk to the next. their sublime, wise air inspires me to act and live a life more graceful. trees just get it. alone they stand. independent. tall and proud, letting the [...]

a couple of weeks ago i was in my fancy-nancy grocery store buying my 16th bottle of a supplement i most likely don’t need, sucking down a spinach, kale, ginger sludge which probably isn’t as health beneficial as i like to tell myself, meandering the pretty, shiny aisles promising wellness via organic and non-genetically modified [...]

love is in the air…
February 14th, 2012 · 4 Comments · pretty photos, ramblings
i’m not a big fan of miss valentine. i find her rather force-fed and contrived. yet last year i revised my feelings for this day of 1-800-flowers & chocolates boxed. i will, once again, fill my heart with love for those who year-long get my scorn, or whom have not been very kind to me. [...]
