I’ve been trying my hand, and heart, at the Liturgy of the Hours. With a toddler it’s definitely hard, but I found this most amazing night prayer that hooked me the first time I read it. It goes like this: Now that the daylight dies away, by all thy grace and love, Thee, Maker of [...]

I’m feelin’ the love
Do you believe in fairies? Pixies? Little glowing, winged things? I do. One just brought me back my mojo. It was a boy one, too. I never knew they could be anything but female but alas, my mind has been yet again expanded. I try to visualize the boundaries of my brain actually getting bigger [...]
My mo-jo has gone loco.
Actually, I think it’s just taken a walk. (I’m just a sucker for rhymes.) If that’s the case, we’ll have to sit down and have a talk upon its return about a little something called bad timing. I sat down to paint and ended up just staring at the half-painted canvas for 30 minutes before [...]
It’ll need to be changed.
I have a rose set as a background on my phone and I think it’s making me cynical. It’s been written before that roses have thorns, but what does that mean really? It seems like such an odd placement for something that can cause pain and suffering. Maybe beauty is trickery. Maybe it can’t exist [...]
Two weeks.
I’ve been told that’s the difference between a good haircut and a bad one. I’m one week and one day into the trauma of having my stylist rape my head and all I’ve become is dehydrated. It’s perfectly logical really. By abstaining from consuming liquids, I thereby lessen my visits to the potty thus avoiding [...]
Sorry I’m late
Ack. 2 weeks behind already. This is going to take some strength – strength to write instead of sleep. Ahh, the great battle of joys. As the score is now, sleep is a few body lengths ahead. I feel like there should be a cheer section or something. You know, go underdog? So I was [...]
Hello? …
…hmm. Just what I was afraid of – the echo of an empty room. It’s a bit unsettling, like I need my fleece blanket and some comfort food…a doughnut perhaps. Speaking of which, do YOU know where doughnut holes come from? Suffice it to say I took a hiatus. A hippopotamus hiatus. A partly harrowing, [...]
Remembering the freedoms…
It was that day in July when the weather was anything but July-like. The breeze was almost too cool, but hadn’t yet crossed the line. The sun was soon to set as I sat on the front, cement step. I had sat there before, but never for a long enough period of time to [...]
Power in Spirit
I lay awake at night and marvel at the artistic genius of the human body. You can’t go through something like pregnancy and delivery and the days following without being in complete awe and realization that we are made with beautiful and purposeful detail. I’m certain I’m incapable of making known these thoughts with [...]
daisies and dancing
calm, clear, addicting caress, stationary, star-filled, serenity. i can feel the soft ripple of the water move over my skin and it makes me howl in both sadness and joy. i tell it to unearth everything unbalanced and it complies on the condition of favors. i must visit often. i must hold on to [...]
