Permanence

I sat in a tattoo studio thinking about permanence, and the inspiration for this article was born. With tattoos, the artwork is permanently placed on the body unless you laser it off or cover it up with more artwork. It has a permanent home but, as with everything in life, it changes. Tattoos fade over time; new scars or injuries may impact it, life in… Read More »Permanence

You can’t watch

a tree grow! You can’t watch a tree grow? Well possibly in the deepest Amazon if you want to be pedantic!  – But my point is you only see it over time. Around these parts anyway. Slowly but surely over time they go from dappled shade to a dense canopy. But it can’t be viewed in real time but over time. Beyond time but within… Read More »You can’t watch

Holy Moly

Otis, my cat is a cruel mistress. Often, I wonder if she overhears my grumbles that the fridge is empty again and this is one of the reasons she presents me daily with a couple of shrews (often in shoes) and on special occasions, like summer solstice, a bat.  Imagine that.

Does a goldfish know?

that it lives in a tank? I sometimes feel like running down the street shouting “They’re coming, they’re coming!” I hold myself back not wishing to be arrested for it – again.

Becoming the Oak Tree 

A short story of finding strength, confidence, acceptance, and self-belief in challenging times  The inner voice inside said, “You must learn to love yourself”.  The little tree said “I can’t, look around and see how perfect and beautiful everything is.  How can I love myself when I am so small and insignificant?”  The inner voice said “Learning to love yourself is like planting a seed. … Read More »Becoming the Oak Tree

By Divine Design

I would be a better writer if I had smaller breasts. Stay with me. Sitting here now, loaded up on ibuprofen just to write an article might sound extreme, sensory discomfort interfering with my creative, cognitive process, well that’s just part of being female, right? The physical experience we have inside our body whether conscious or not can’t help but shape our world. Let’s back… Read More »By Divine Design

Areas they feel are lacking, i.e., health, fitness, money, peace, family, happiness, love, etc, are brought up to be addressed with the hopes they will be achieved.

Blessed Are Those

There are forces at play on this planet way beyond our current cognitive field awareness. A dog whistle is a frequency only perceived by a dog, but just because we can’t hear it, does not mean it doesn’t exist. I liken it to the soul of a human being or animal for all it cannot be physically measured can you honestly say it isn’t real?… Read More »Blessed Are Those
