Bread, not cake. . .
I want bread. . .thank you. . . . I have worked out this loaf that pleases me greatly. It is a favorite when it is fresh and toasted it is not to be believed. An open faced cheddar sliced cheese melted on it to toast with a couple of slices of crisp…

Peace Of Mind. . . .
We persist in thinking we might make a difference because we don’t know when we might make a difference. ***** When illusions are unmasked, coping mechanisms prove unable. ***** Death is a triumph. The tragedy would be had we never been. ***** A cynic is someone on the threshold of understanding. ***** Man’s God is…

Worlds I Know. . . to speak of. . .
A few weeks ago there was an evolutionary find with a faceless fish. I knew that graphic because I have what you see beside this in an October 8. 1987 journal entry. I knew it was somewhere in my journals but there was no way I could remember where. Last night as I was note…

A Chance For Love. . .
A Chance For Love Each day is a new beginning, each breath the birth of a new world. Time now to forgo the past and give life a chance. Accountable we are and to allow that to become a fact, it is the moment to begin anew. The poem will only take on…

Time For Work To Be Done. . .
It was a desolate landscape. There were ice mountains in the background. There was a building, more barracks like with no thing, nothing around it. The moon was white and things were outlined but barely so. Sparse would be putting it gently, but desolate and bare of life would say how tragic it felt. I…

Beyond Morsels. . .
Beyond Morsels. . . . When one needs a fire to rest by, one often has to build it first. But no fire made by other hands warms as compared with effort gone into the building and fanning of one’s own flame. ***** You cannot list the world’s disorders without revealing yours in duplicate. You…
