Photo by Nashua Volquez-Young on Pexels.com My latest poem, Softly, triggered this idea. The line was “It’s worth holding on when youth is gone.” That part is about long term relationships. It triggered the recollection of my 90 year old grandmother saying she still felt 30, and my mother saying the same thing. The bodyContinueContinue reading “When Youth Has Gone”

Black with Black
Photo by Mavluda Tashbaeva on Pexels.com This isn’t quite me, age-wise or fashion-wise. I favour a black polo neck with black jeans and decorated black boots. Years ago a friend asked me why I was hiding. When I asked why she said that wearing all black was seen as not wanting to be seen. IContinueContinue reading “Black with Black”
No
Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays? During my childhood we used to have amazing treats at Christmas, all made by mum and nan. They worked so hard that was part of the joy in it, you felt so spoilt. Then we became better off, and could have nice foodContinueContinue reading “No”
Read a book
If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time? Hito Maybe write. I don’t fancy going for a walk in the middle of the night alone. I wouldn’t want to put tv on as my husband may object. Same goes for vacuuming. I certainly wouldn’t do the washing or runContinueContinue reading “Read a book”
Want to be Happier?
I found this list amongst the papers I’ve been sorting out for five years. It struck me as quite useful so I thought I’d share it. 1. Don’t pre-judge, you only find out if something is right for you by trying it. 2. Don’t envy others. Envy doesn’t get you what you want. Action does.ContinueContinue reading “Want to be Happier?”
Humanity x 3
Name your top three pet peeves. I look at this world, how beautiful it is, how damaged by us, and I wonder exactly how thoughtless we are. I learn about the extinction of species that have disappeared because of how selfish we are. This world is a whole and their survival was key to ours.ContinueContinue reading “Humanity x 3”
Not a large list unless…
Who are your current most favorite people? I have some true friends, I won’t name them on here, but they’re the kind of people that can accept the humanity of others. No pressure to be perfect around them. One goes back 54 years, I’ve written about her and our inexplicable yet boundless relationship. One IContinueContinue reading “Not a large list unless…”

Cats but All Animals
What are your favourite animals? Brothers cuddling I’m not a partisan person. I was raised with dogs, we had guinea pigs, a budgie, a tortoise. Now we have cats because they turned up in the right moment and we just knew they were ours. These are the two youngest. I couldn’t actually choose between oneContinueContinue reading “Cats but All Animals”
Apples & Pears
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? When I started to walk the spiritual path I became connected to this Earth as never before. It is, after all, one of the spiritual realms, populated by souls in organic transportation modules. Too may of whom have gone excruciatingly wrong. Back to Nature Everything in natureContinueContinue reading “Apples & Pears”
