So often my mind focused on things to do, tasks, progress; so often my next thought is, slow your roll, dude…! As RUSH sings in the song “Second Nature”, “…I know that progress has no patience, but something’s got to give…” During this hot July Fourth weekend, listening to the fans swirl in the early …
Calm, Cork
I’ve got a work buddy who recently posted while visiting his family in Cork, Ireland. I was thinking how good it was to see him there with his son, getting some very valuable fam time,especially for his kid. All good. A bit earlier in the day I was thinking how overall calm I felt, stark …
Slow, Heat
This holiday weekend, slow expected, crazy busy June, need a reset to rest of life, Rest of life been often on hold, need to slow the roll, catch up, mail, kids, laundry, house, me, Heat expected to climb, yesterday, today, tomorrow, not like so many other places just now, extreme heat, smoke from fires far …
Slumber, Slim
The fewest words might describe, Oh, how I have felt, lived, thrived…? Slim might indicate few words, but I think otherwise, Space between struggle and satisfied, often, so often, not much, Struggle each day with learning, doing, being, Struggle to satisfy inside, outside, slim line, slim line, just reach the line, Line to cross, end …
Strange Foreboding
A strange foreboding silently creeps, How can this be? Dimly-lit room, pre-dawn trickles of light dripping in, wonder when, the evil will land? No such thing, not obviously so, so evil to speak of that I know, Easy life, taken on whole, so much more than so many for sure, Silly to feel this foreboding, …
Life Out Front
My friend burns her journals, ritualistic, posts the ashes, cleansed, Much respect for this practice, this perspective…but it’s not my own, Funny thing to my way, juxtaposed, I blog many of of my life experiences, my struggles, point of view, opinion, but I post them, these same stories my friend commits to her soul and …
Nap Time
Weekend, unexplained angst, again. To start the day. Meh. Got early for a long walk, one of my newly established practices, in pursuit of better health. Once home, did a couple light chores, then off on an errand to the store. Low-simmer angst still bubbling. And so, late morning still, turning to one of my …
Bourdain Day
Missed the declaration, until the afternoon, Bourdain Day. Not hard to celebrate his life, his contributions, his spirit… Another one gone too soon… A few snippets capture, a sense, the sense, of who he was, and how he affected those around him…
Bits
Bits of story, Bits of drink, Bits of rest, Time to think, A few more bits keep my spirit high, A few more bits, another try, Rest long and deep, into the night, Just one more bit, sure feels right, Nothing more, not another bit now, Satisfied, good and how.
Weekend Slumber
Something about weekend sleep, A little more relaxed, less expectant of day, more night, More night to provide peaceful space, pause, Then to awaken in daylight, resisting pre-dawn rise, instead lingering, eyes closed, covered, and finally, Rejuvenated, from weekend slumber.
