I’m Angry
I’m feeling angry and my heartbeat is racing. My blood is heated and my ego is squirming. I’m frustrated and mad and feeling so sad that I’ve fallen into this behavior again. I can’t seem to break this habit of mine that keeps me locked tight and feeling unkind. The words that heatedly cut, come [...]

Manatee
Drifting manatee lounging on the riverbed– safe from propellers. I’ve been fortunate to see these wonderful animals many times. They congregate at Blue Springs State Park and other spring-fed rivers when the weather turns cold and stay in the even temperature of 72 degrees spring water. They are fascinating and beautiful, gentle animals and very [...]

Hot Cup of Cocoa
The wind is blowing briskly and the temperature is plummeting. My nose is a bright, red cherry and my hands are feeling chilly. A hot cup of cocoa is vastly needed. My Sunday 160.

Celebrate Your Self
Celebrate your Self honoring every moment of your breath. Breathing in deeply, take stock of within. Breathing out slowly, what do you feel? Is something joyful tickling your heart or are you struggling with a painful twinge in your arm? Just take notice as these sensations arise and then let them go gently, leaving judgment [...]

Where Was I?
Where was I for all of those years When all I could focus on were all of my fears? I couldn’t make contact, I couldn’t embrace, I couldn’t look at anyone, square in the face. I stuttered and stammered with shyness so tense, I couldn’t show up with any sense of intent. I couldn’t express [...]

Sita’s Sleeping
Sita’s sleeping once again, this time in my just-dried laundry. She’s in a snugly tucked-in shape. It’s her favorite place to nap next only to a sunbeam patch. My Sunday 160.

Free! Take One
While living in Boston, MA we were out one day with the girls and happened to pass this empty newspaper holder. It said “Free! Take One” on the bottom. It seemed the perfect size, so we popped Mahan in there and took a photo. She was delighted and looked so cute in there. We’ve gotten [...]

Lacework
The lacework of society’s decadence has cultivated the volcanic pace of decline. Extend the goblet of paradise. This poem is a result of Victoria’s Monday Morning Writing Prompt.

Xizang
Hereupon this vast space of Xizang, the yak is in its pen next to the copper quarry on the outskirts of where the upper delta wades to meet the knotted beech. This is for the Monday Morning Writing Prompt challenge. Note to Victoria: I became way too far ahead of myself and ended up [...]

No Fun
My daughter’s going to China. I said goodbye yesterday. My wish of love and safety are with her– thirty meetings in five days–no fun, no sightseeing, no playing. My entry for Sunday’s 160.
