Non-linear motion allows one to turn back, go round the bend and emerge fresh and ready for another game. The circles and … Continue reading Circles and Curves
I dare to bloom in uncertainty. I know not if the thorns will protect or devor. I know not if the dew will dry or cover. I know not if the eyes that watch will sting or savor. I know I have a life I dare to bloom, challenge myths of … Continue reading I dare to bloom

“There is an old world charm about a guy who uses a pocket watch.” she smiled, looking into his eyes on their first date. “Yes”, he responded, “I inherited it from my industrialist grandfather.” It would be so easy to plant a tiny bomb there, raced her scheming, greedy mind. Twittering Tale #64
Let’s take inventory of what’s perceived
Reflect on the substance of what’s believed
Whether in the now or preconceived
Those that grieve deserve a reprieve
