    Fondling hope

    Funny, what we drag along with us wherever we go. Another bit of downer one today, sorry.

  • Sunday Rituals

    Sunday Rituals

    I suppose the thing about our Sundays is that they aren’t usually all that interesting. And that’s a good thing. Thinking about what I did, and didn’t do, was a type of meditation, I suppose. How we spend our free time can tell us a lot about who we are.

    Ah, distraction. How I adore you.

    What do you use to distract yourself? Really distract yourself, I mean, from the stuff you don’t want to think about or do?

    Writing Down the Bones, Card 50: “You need to know this.” What you need to know is that I don’t mean to be this way. I don’t mean to be needy, over the top, or abrupt. I don’t mean to say the wrong things. I don’t mean to be over…

  • What am I looking for?

    What am I looking for?

    This is an experiment I’m hoping to keep going for some time. Author E.V. Bancroft gifted me a deck of cards from the Writing Down the Bones series, and I’ve been eager to see how it works. I’m a big believer in timed free writing because it forces you to…
