J-P Sertin has too many projects on his hands. This is how he works – and also how he gets nothing done. A charming paradox, no? Well, I suppose it depends on your attitude to paradoxes. In any case, J-P Sertin has come up with another idea, which he thinks is A Good One – and [...]
I am in the process of re-tagging some of my spiritual posts on my LiveJournal, and I came across this post from January 2009: “Being an urbanimal is about being an animal person in a practical, real-world way. It’s about getting off your backside to make changes in the real world to benefit the animals you [...]
united in commercialism, divided by personal beliefs, today the country pauses to watch football and stuff itself with turkey and pumpkin pie. this is my first vegetarian thanksgiving, so it’ll be interesting. and i don’t like football. yoga is cancelled today, and the gym closes early. all i’ve got to do is get myself to the [...]
The morning my living room furniture was to be delivered by the rental store, I sat on my rear porch applying makeup. I was planning to look good for my after-school trip back to the rental furniture store. I had a target. I was going to get that guy who worked there. Was he a manager? [...]
I tell everyone I meet to read my blog; and then I can’t write dick on it for fear of offending them or tipping them off. Christ. Well, that is okay, a watered-down blog and no real confidantes in my life. I pray that this changes when I am down at the little gallery for 6 weeks. [...]
It would have been lunacy to say I was nervous about the coming weekend… I wanted to see Brent so much I could barely keep a coherent thought running through my mind. This mindless obsession – how could it be mindless it was all my mind could focus on? Yet this obsession knew no bounds, [...]
When trying to find your direction, your proper path, don’t look where you think it ought to be. Look away from there, in some other direction. Often when we just turn our heads another way we see what we are supposed to see in our periphery while doing other things. Dr. Bill
I spent the night with R. It’s odd that that’s something I used to be completely unable to do. I hope this doesn’t turn in to a bitching post but he’s beginning to annoy me more and more. Sex is all about him and he really doesn’t get that I have no interest in it at [...]
There’s nothing to say Though I still write Lost in words That dribble Down my chin Into a stream That puddles On a stained carpet There’s nothing to do Though I still get up Lost in thoughts That float away Into clouds That darken In the last blue sky There’s nothing to keep Though I still save Lost in things Gathering dust Piling up Into […]
The Jim Burley Affair The air is so fresh the day they section Anne that she is almost happy. It feels as though it is raining raw meat as the rain is heavy and squishy and plops, rather than falls down. She is wearing her Sunday best dress, the one that she had worn to church [...]
Was reading how this Hindu deity got all his heads. Seems he was a regular fella contemplating mankinds needs and while trying to grasp how to address all of them from one place – KaPop! – his head splits into sections. Problem. A deity sees this predicament and supplies a head for each section. Problem [...]
I have been so blocked on this prompt! Pick a number, make that number the title of your poem, and write a poem. Again I changed the title, and maybe the poem isn’t so number-y either, but I started with the number one. And one is appropriate – one more poem to go. Wanted: One lost and [...]
Snow Fall?
Juxtaposed bloom, amazing!
Color me a West Coast neophyte.
Lady, you put the Art in Artist.
Thank you.
Usually the leaves have turned and fallen before the snow comes.
Incredible.
