I search for Solitude By drowning My noisy mind Under mild Shallow currents Of bubbling stars Fingertips writing Useless Over and over again Into the soapy Thick filmy residues Magnetized to skin Inefficient tides Trying to soothe My worries away Impractical lines Being drawn And then Being erased In this pleasant Bath I made Thank…
She not only has a world winning smile, a voice that purrs, or eyes that brighten the darkest of days but it’s her heart I embrace. It’s the way her heart shows all over her face and in the way her tears beckon you to look for her when she is stuck inside the battles…
THE AFTERMATH OF ME by Hastywords Would you stick around to understand All the strangeness that makes me tick Stay and feel the course my blood takes When passion marks my staccato breath Changing the whine in my voice To a distinct and lingering purrrrrr Would you use me up and throw me away Or…

Her words are never just words; they live, breathe, and jump up and touch you wherever you are reading them. I needed a post for today because another one fell through and…
My guest today is a wonderful lady with bright eyes and a beautiful smile…oh and crazy gorgeous big hair. I asked Rosemond to write a few thoughts on compassion for me this month and her words are a testament of how naturally kind her heart is. We hear the phrase fairly often in movies or…
Chris Carter, my guest today, blogs at The Momcafe. She didn’t know that by writing these thoughts she would also be helping me sort out some serious issues. Over this past weekend I had a moment, a few hours actually, where I was letting the past trigger extreme anxiety. The anxiety was fueling anger and…
