    • April 10th — The Night the Cats Take the World Back

      April 10th begins the moment the sun gives up. Not sunset, no, that’s too polite. This is a surrender, a quiet folding of light as the neighbourhood prepares for its true rulers to wake.   Because on the 10th, every cat in the neighbourhood remembers its lineage. They rise from porches, from cardboard...

    • April 10th — The Night of Running Cats and Star Eyes

      April 10th begins at dusk.
      It is not a daytime day.
      It belongs to the hour
      when the sky bruises purple
      and the first streetlamp flickers
      like a nervous prophet.

      This is the night
      when all the cats in the neighbourhood
      wake up from their daylight disguises
      and remember who they t…Read More

    • Love Sonnet LXXXIII

      Yaraa, my love for you is
      radioactive, holding a life
      line of ten thousand years.
      Its glow shines a path only

      you can find, and follow. My
      touch can ignite the desire
      that pulsates in your blood,
      and frees your heart.

      The world may end, civilizations
      crumble, oceans dry up, the sun
      go nova, and space-time…Read More

      • I have sat down with my own monster and sometimes its peaceful then other times… I have learned in my silence. I relax

        • Silence is key. Sitting in the stillness to understand their contours, pitfalls and safe landings. Sometimes it is a lot easier than others, for sure. Thank you, Fia 😊

      • Yes, experience speaks to us bold and clear. It’s just a shame it takes so long to hear it sometimes while we sit in a pool of unhappiness and pain.

        • I think there are times we don’t want to hear. And others we struggle to make out the message. Would be a lot easier if life came with a map and instructions. But how would we really learn then? Thank you, Tim 😊

      • Willow this is excellent and honest.
        It’s taken me many years and several depressive episodes to realise the folly of running from suffering.Its painful to sit wth suffering but you can’t drink it away, drug it away,travel it away or fuck it away….only thing is to acknowledge it and understand it exists in the mind only.
        Thanks for making me think.
        🙏

        • Ahh but that’s the tricky bit, isn’t it? It’s all in the mind – but the mind is the strongest organ. Amazing to me that we learn at all sometimes. If one can make peace with stillness (not as easy as it seems), it gets easier. Thank you, Peter 😊

      • Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! This excellent write has depth and insight into your authentic philosophy of life my friend. Your words pierce like needles and then their meaning sinks in. Learning from mistakes equals wisdom. I can relate to this write on so many levels. Amazing work as always. Appreciate you.

        • A friend of mine once said “It’s okay to sit with your darkness. It’s healthy to do so. Just don’t make a home there.” That struck a chord in me and ive tried to move with that philosophy ever since. We’re taught to suck it up, walk it off, smile, let it go. But we’re not taught how. Seems rather short-sighted. But that’s society for you. Thank you, my friend 😊

      • I try. After this many years, they’re a smidgen easier to navigate. Life still throws an unseen curve from time to time. But then it’s time to sit down and map it out for the catalog. Thank you, Brenda 🧡
