Today: What Will Happen Today???? - To Fall Like A Drop Of Rain...

Today - Once in A Blue Moon...

I often notice there's more for me to feel and therefore also to understand and work through with both full and new moons. Beginning my day today, I therefore can't help but wonder what this "special" blue moon will have in store for me... What will happen to me? What will I notice? Will I make an unfamiliar decision or travel in a new direction? How will it feel? Regardless of what happens today, I'm primed to NOTICE what I see, do, think and feel as well as anything different or unusual about how my day today unfolds...

Today: Crickets & Thunder... - To Fall Like A Drop Of Rain...

A Poem: Summer Sounds...

On a background of chirping crickets
I wonder if they ever tire...
Intermittently a cicada's buzzing whine
Pierces the air...
While thunder rumbles in the distance...
Sounds of summer...

Today: A HOT Summer's Day... - To Fall Like A Drop Of Rain...

A "HOT" Poem & Some Music:

The air
Hot and

Pregnant with rain

Beneath a hazy sun...

Sparrows

Twitter tales in the pines...

Daisies delicately nod

Agreement...

The day's steamy, sultry flavor is complemented by Didier Malherbe & Loy Ehrlich's album, "An Ambient Voyage to North Africa" (available from hmvdigital.ca). I listen, while chopping and freezing some fresh vegetables I bought at the farmer's market this morning. A typical summer Saturday....

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...
