• Morning Coffee Thoughts

    As the sun rose
    on a calm summer morning,
    and I faced the four directions,
    asking for balance,
    understanding,
    and grandmother’s wisdom,
    the Hawk circled
    then landed on the Elm
    down by Willow Creek.

    I thought at first
    it was looking for its morning meal,
    but it turned in my direction,
    catching my e…Read More

    • It’s beautiful… Definitely relaxing to read and vision. ❤️

    • Thinking of humanity as so small in the cosmos is both humbling and strangely empowering. For all that we are miniscule in the vastness, we can achieve so much through compassion.

    • You speak of a bizarre situation. If it’s not dementia than it’s paranoia. That can be hard to deal with, especially when moving to another state is seriously considered. Definitely a case for stress for the one who has to listen to it all. Good one, Thomas.

    • Oh wow, I swear I know these people. Unfortunately, in the case of mine, they’re not fully imagining things. When a bit of real harassment is lad down, it builds on a mind until everything becomes subject to suspect. It sucks for those observing and listening, but more so for them. Solid write here

    • I enjoy writes that are unexpected and take you on a journey.
      Good or bad. This write is excellent. I personally loved

      Patience like a prayer,
      thinking until my brain bruises.

      This whole piece is pretty awesome, bizarre and all.

    • “But then they glance at me.
      And those eyes cut through.
      Like I’m part of it now.”

      Hauntingly penned, Thomas. Another excellent write with amazing storytelling my friend. The verse above gave me goosebumps. It’s always feels like we’re on a journey in your stories. Nicely done as always. Appreciate you.

    • Footsteps that do not belong to the house are a rupture, not necessarily danger,
      but a shift in the contract between space and silence.
      They mark the moment when architecture stops being loyal.

      Appreciate you!

    It Ain't Ending Nice

    Can’t go back to the way it was before The storm stripped the foundation bare Dirty secrets are used in keeping score Greedy pigs feast at the root of despair   So many sleepless nights I’ve lost count Growing sick of seeing your fucking face An...

    • I echo your thoughts Damian. I mentioned to a friend the other day that everything is corrupt now – Companies…people in business…the government…car dealers…you name it. It’s like we’ve gotten to a point where scamming people is the norm now. Great write my friend.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That it is, everything is about turning a buck, with doing as little as possible. What’s saddest is it doesn’t bring them any happiness. Appreciate you.

    • Oh you know I’m over here furiously nodding and grabbing logs for the fire. I have come to the place of having to mute and cover the face of the colostomy bag. It’s not worth the heart palpitations and anger rising. I refuse to allow my health to be further deteriorated by that overstuffed cheese puff. Another marshmallow, my friend? I’m adding wood to the fire!

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I figured you might get fired up reading this one. I’m so tired of trying to figure out who’s still buying this bullshit, it can’t get anymore obvious that he’s out over his fucking skis, he’s beyond compromised at this point. I could go for a marshmallow. See you at the bonfire. Appreciate you.

    • Some people grow with an appreciation for their maker, and others drift through life. Good one, and a lovely photo. 🙂

      • hello dearest Tim good morning I grew in appreciation when I started to hear him myself not when people at the church told me what he was saying and I never found him I found while contemplating on nature thank you so much for the lovely comment ❤️

    • The becoming is a beautiful thing, Brenda. This one made me smile 😊🧡

    • hello dearest Damian thank you graciously ❤️

    • I love how this whole piece is written. From beginning to being continued!
      As people I feel we continue to evolve.
      Even when we aren’t looking.
      Awesome write!

      • hello beautiful Adelphina thank you graciously I believe it too we are in a constant state of evoluion and growth no matter how many lives we have you can witness it in old souls and those you can tell are here for the first time…I deeply appreciate you sharing ❤️

    • Dear B,

      For me, the presence of one’s higher power guiding us when we’re willing to receive is pulsating throughout this write. I kept thinking throughout my life whenever I wanted to do something differently but was spiritually guided in a different direction…typically I was grateful it didn’t happen the way I wished. Your piece of growth and gratitude is ever present in this write and your accompanying picture is beautiful. H xx 🌷

      • hello beautiful Honoria good afternoon I’m very grateful to be led and know I”m not alone I didn’t always know that and it was scary… I’m happy you have felt that guiding spirit as well thank you graciously for the love have a beautiful day ❤️
