If we were having coffee, I would meet you at the little coffeeshop down my street just as the hot scones arrive out of the oven. We would share one of the round white tables by the cottage windows~ the table with the milk bottle full of lilac stems. I would immediately tell you of… Continue reading If we were having coffee~
It has been a day of writing~ actually an entire week of such. A very very good week, indeed. When this occurs, especially in the midst of crazy-schedules of classwork and business needs, I feel fortunate annoyingly smug! The entire stretch of past days has been a mosaic of weather patterns, as per Rocky Mountain springtime.… Continue reading on the brink of May~
When I consider the whole complexity of life, there is no box big enough to hold my thoughts. They wander, dance, fight, hide, melt… I understand the greatness, and the insignificance, and yet I struggle to capture the beauty of its fragility. It is vital, I think to attempt to mark moments with art… A… Continue reading finding my groove~
Today is Day 16 of my three-month-long (self imposed) challenge to restart my workouts at our local (very cool) rec center. I have had a membership for two years, and my usual routine is to begin strong, falter and flatline about mid-year. But oh, those first months of steady commitment change me…both in mind, spirit,… Continue reading Hello Workouts~
If we were having coffee today, I would drag you with me to see this sculpture again. It is astonishing, to see steel welded into THIS. I am obsessed with this enormous rendition of a fearless sea warrior and can not stop looking at it. I find it to be inspiring in the artist’s skill… Continue reading If we were having coffee~
A day of happy! Finally, oh finally, we have had few days which seem like spring! The ground is nourished by the late snows, and my spring bulbs are opening to the brilliant (and warm) sunshine. My obnoxiously kitschy flamingos even appear happier now! I have classwork to finish~ finals the next two weeks~and Campnano… Continue reading Tipping tulips~
Just a bit of memory…2013 Boulder County Colorado. Flood. Picture from 9News. I found this photo to be beautiful, humbling, and deeply moving. We were fortunate, here where I live, to not have too much damage at our cottage…but just down the road in either direction it was difficult to believe the roads, land, trees,… Continue reading responsibility of a caretaker~
I am going off my usual type of writing to share a passion I have. Currently, I am studying biological anthropology which ignites deep excitement within to learn more, seek answers, and continue my own quest in academia. The exploration of scientific avenues to discover how we got to here, from there, is vitally important… Continue reading Writing for class~
Good Afternoon and have a seat! A cup of coffee sounds perfect today…while it is blowing and snowing outside. Yes, yes, I agree…we are quite sick of the cold and oh, we all worry over the tender spring blooms. But here we are, let’s dry out and warm up a bit. I want to tell… Continue reading If we were having coffee~
This writing life….full of flighty imagination, resistant characters, fumbling dialogue. I search for what I need to say, must say. My plot goes off onto some shadowy hole leaving me with an angry loss. The hero refuses to cooperate, the victims pathetic, the antagonist behaves like a fool. I can’t decide which town they all shall live… Continue reading The creepy threads of writing madness~
