  • I’ve Taken Flight. . . .

        A Conversation  . . . You say. . .  I’ve taken flight. . . . . and I say. . . . where can you go that I could not find you? And you say. . . . farther than you think. I’ve found me a world so far away that never would…

  • Words From A Borning World. . . .

    (from a recent journal entry edited only for space) So there was no one to talk to.  No one who understood the worlds I trespassed nor was welcomed in.  I stayed.  And took cover in what I had to do which left me open mouthed every time I heard something that belly whopped me with…

  • Loved You Long Before The World Ever Was. . . .

      This is the latest photo of Emma E. that I have and I love it.  I think she has a big surprise that she keeps hidden but I am sure she will let me know soon.  That half smile she has lurking around her eyes gives her away each time.  It is a big…

  • My Earth, I Take It Personally. . . .

    My Earth, I take it personally. . . When I was a homeowner it was said I took it all personally and it was impossible to live like that. To me the world cannot be lived in fully unless it is taken personally.  It is the only way to process information for any meaning to…

  • The Keys Of The Kingdom. . . .

    The Keys of the Kingdom. . . My good friend appeared at the door and said you have to learn to play and we start now.  Alas, another argument begun about our differences , proving again opposites can be friends. It is my good fortune and sometimes a curse to have the ability to view…

  • The Workman Prays. . .

    I had watched The Sound of Music  with my inlaw mother and I scribed a journal entry about it enjoying it for the umpteenth time.  I edited only for space. April 12, ’93. . .It is with joy when  the heart of the viewer is touched.  It is joy when the hearts of man are…

  • Life Balances Everything. . .

    They were shadowing a century when they came to visit my in law mother and I had them all over for dinner.  I had married into a U.K. background, the satellite being Scotland. Seated at a comfort meal, even the aged, ailing  uncle pleaded for a taste of real food of roast beef and mashed…

  • Otche Nash. . .Our Father. . .potential. . . .

    The two of them trusted me with what they were seeing.  My mother, transiting said I could not live in your world and she cried.  Stick with it as long as you can though,  she said.  There is a reward.  And David transiting asked how did you know to do it?  How could you go…

  • The Heart Knows Its Own Amen. . . .

    In The Quiet of This Night. . . In the quiet of this night, come to me and we will hold hands and talk and I will show you from how high up you jumped. The night will love you and envelop you and you will find that in the cold moon there is a…
