Divine Inspiration?

It’s been a tough couple of days. I feel adrift which is an odd feeling for me as I usually stay “my version” of focused. I don’t believe that positive words or statements solve problems, although they may bring a needed momentary distraction. A motivational speaker would hang himself in frustration trying to “lift me […]

There is no good day to say goodbye

I dislike the moment of goodbye Especially on Tuesday’s SELRES_5b631c89-024a-41ee-a548-0e19e352c973SELRES_4c67bf53-f784-42ec-8004-e078cb4fd2fdSELRES_5b631c89-024a-41ee-a548-0e19e352c973As what once was physical, is now a memory Thursday is no better than any other day The time spent together, remembered as through a rear view mirror Saturday is the worst for goodbye Looking back on the warmth of friends No one ever leaves on […]

Is the price of an opinion too high?

When someone offers an opinion, they are essentially “putting in their two-cents”. If someone wants to know what you think, they might say “a penny for your thoughts”. These idiomatic expressions both suggest that the value of an opinion isn’t worth much monetarily.  I believe that the value is even less if that opinion is […]

So I had this idea…

I woke up this morning feeling ambitious.  I had an idea about a new business. I grabbed my glasses, sweats, a shirt, my bunny slippers and headed downstairs. I settled in and quickly realized that my glasses were so dirty that I really couldn’t see. Oily skin, the bane of all glasses wearers. I better […]

The Traveler’s End (Borrowed from Travelinggump.com)

The Traveler’s End O’ weary traveler, aged and too weak, lies resting in the grass and soon falls asleep. He dreams of past travels, his path lies ahead, but is blocked by an Angel, who’s voice speaks of dread. He opens his eyes, his journey complete, for he has seen his fate and soon starts […]

The Dilemma of the Modern Family

The word “family” is defined by Google as “a group consisting of parents and children living together in the same household”.  That broad definition seems appropriately vague, considering the modern family dynamic of today.  So, which is “better”; two adults who create “biological” children, raising them together in a genetically matched family or a mish-mash of DNA brought together by two […]

A Well Traveled Path They Walk

 O’ dear wanderer’s beware, for Love and Happiness make for the most dreadful of companions. Together, quite a tempting pair, Love, alluring and desirous, who only when caught within her grasp, coyly refuses to be possessed. While Happiness dances joyfully, upon the keen edge of a blade, waiting patiently for Love’s cruel fancy to once again, set them free.
