This little canal where I walk seems to suffer
from bi-polar disorder.
One day the water surges down the channel
all full of slosh and vigor. And then. . .
empty--it's debris and thick mud, full of sticky smells
exposed and raw.
This week my mood reflects
these watery fluctuations--
A happy life gushing forward
full of promise and reward
followed by the same life seeming stuck
snagged on junk around the house--
dirty dishes, recyclables, laundry.
How is it that the same circumstances
can appear so
inconstant?
This Blog's Focus, or lack there of
Edith Wharton said "There are two ways of spreading light ...To be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it." That's what this blog is about, how the light of other people and the world around me have reflected off and in me. . .or other things when I need to write about other things, like walking, lizards, or fruit. There will be pictures of plants. All pictures are taken by me, unless noted.
I say what's on my mind, when it's there, and try to only upload posts that won't hurt or offend readers. However, readers may feel hurt or offended despite my good intentions. Blog-reading is a matter of free choice, that's what I have come to love about it, so if you are not pleased, surf on and/or leave a comment. I welcome any and all kind-hearted commentary.
It's 2012 and my current obsessions are writing and walking, sometimes at the same time. And books. I'm increasingly fascinated by how ebooks are transforming the physical book, forcing it to do more than provide printed words on a page.
