Don’t fall!

It was my birthday on Sunday. It was very mellow as I had enjoyed quite a bit of wine on Saturday, as we sometimes do….all of us! Yesterday it occurred to me that I’m kinda starting over, and to be a certain age with a blank piece of paper in front of you is scary […]

Choice

There are choices. ways to be, to be seen. light vs dark, reflection or shadow, you choose. There are rules. to be followed, to be ignored. good vs evil, love or hate you choose. There is space. to be change, to be nothing. absent or present, you choose. via Daily Prompt: Silhouette

Ego

When was the last time you agreed to be responsible for something, because you were flattered to be asked? And five minutes later thought to yourself ‘holy doodle, I don’t even know where to start, what was I thinking!?’ You’ve made a promise, you have to see this though. Why did we say yes? For some […]

Weightless

A momentary glimmer of light flicker, dark, flicker. Growing steadily stronger, quicker bright, dim, bright. What path is this, that shows such promise then denies?

I’m choosing happy!

That’s the one that brings me to my senses, how on earth can I be gloomy when I’m in the fresh air with beautiful blue […]

Physical States

I see you I saw you, throw your lit cigarette out the car window. I heard you I hear you, cruelly berate your child in the supermarket. I sense you I feel you, judge the clothes, the smile, the weight of another. I allow myself to react, to physically, emotionally react And in doing so […]

Whose reflection is it?

I recently read a LinkedIn comment that got me thinking about expectations. How we all have them and quite often hold others accountable for not doing something that is based on our personal expectation for appropriate behaviour. When I “lost” my job recently lots of lovely people reached out and expressed their outrage, dismay and sadness, […]
