Today: Sun & Shadow... - To Fall Like A Drop Of Rain...

Light & Dark - Sun & Shadow...

This morning - The Sunny Side:

What magic!

A plant...

Who sprouts forth

With fresh, new growth

From the ashes of
Last year's dried, dead leaves...

This afternoon - The Shadow Side:

I face the reality that in the outside world I inhabit, this wonderful, feeling magic only happens sometimes... Sometimes things stop unexpectedly, mid-stream and die... sometimes things are still born... sometimes they look oh SO full of promise, but ARE empty or dead...
Sometimes... Sometimes I don't feel happy or wonderful... sometimes I feel tired, sad or frightened...
Sometimes...

You are welcome to comment, but your comments are YOURS. They are your response to what I have written; a sharing of how you think or feel or.... which you would also like to let fall like a drop of rain together with what I have shared...

About This Blog....

I've lived on my own for more than 20 years now and although I don't miss the constant presence of some other person in my life AT ALL, I felt there was something missing and I've been thinking about what this could be... My inner work has clearly shown me that MANY things are best shared ONLY inside with my own parts and faces; as this is where they can be REALLY understood and appreciated. The occasional sharing I do with my few friends, although infrequent, is VERY important too, but there still seemed to be something I was missing... Puzzling about what this was, I've determined that what I missed was sharing the small things which felt interesting, important or meaningful at sometime during my day.

However, in the past, when I had others close, like "A MAN" in my life, I was MOST often disappointed. What felt important, interesting or meaningful to me, just wasn't to this other person. Consequently, I don't really want to share with any one particular person. Instead, I'm wanting to allow what I feel inspired to share fall like a drop of rain... free to find its own way to where it may be of use or interest...

This blog is, therefore, a series of posts sharing some feature of my day... Like a drop of rain, each one is free to find its own way to those for whom it might be interesting or meaningful without direction by me... Some days I have nothing to share, but I also frequently write small Haiku-like poems inspired by some piece of my day... It is my space for sharing my small puzzles, feelings, thoughts, poems, some of my current art and...and...and... with whoever wants to stop by... I do often revise posts... I usually continue working with a post until I begin a new one, so most revisions happen before I start the next post... but that isn't the end... nothing posted here is cast in stone or set in concrete. Revisions are to be expected and they can happen at any time. However, since 2017, because the work I've been doing on my web-site has been mostly enough, I haven't shared or revised much here until the end of 2021... Nonetheless, I do hope that you find something of interest... and I don't think I've stopped working here... I've just taken a break or rest for awhile...
