Fighting For Time
It seems I’m often fighting for time, At home, at work, with my kids.

Do What You Can
I’m all for the ideal, an objective or goal pursued with singleminded focus and intensity. In my life, with rules and responsibilities as they are, such luxury is fleeting at best. That said, I’ll do what I can and return to focus as oft time allows, observing and noticing and sharing along these myriad highways …

To the Mountains
Respite, long awaited, showing them another way, living a slower way, Beloved mountains, fresh air, sounds a wild, few street lights, a step out, away, away, What will the stars tell us, the trees, what will they say, how will we play? Stay my heart, my calm, be so, whisperers only in the night, and …
Irritant
Another title for this piece might be “pain in the ass” , or legs, to be more precise I’ve been dealing with some sort of skin issue on my legs for a few days now. Thought it was sun-related maybe; then I thought maybe a plant or insect bite allergy. Still not sure. Whatever the …
