Hollywood Philosopher
I’ve been watching a lot of X-Files lately. Its been helping me get through my morning treadmill sessions, which in turn help me get through my days. Its funny how I don’t want to wake up, but if I do and force myself to start my run, after about 10 minutes it gets relatively […]

Unravel
The world continues to spin wildly, slightly tilted and off centre. Is that the reason why things make so little sense sometimes? I open up my world, read the news, things that happen around the world and wonder I wonder why people are so cruel, wonder how they can justify this behaviour to others. Didn’t […]

The disappearance of weekend
It’s a sad thing really, how fast two free days get filled up and disappear in a puff of smoke, like someone in a souped up hot rod laying rubber through an intersection. Don’t get me wrong- I had a great weekend, it just never seems quite long enough. I get all these great plans, […]

Lost mooring
Blindly reaching out for purchase, the shock of the moment shatters her. Expected but still not prepared she wilts, sorrow clouding her eyes.

Outlier
I’ve spent my life an observer, a visitor from beyond. Perhaps this isn’t my first go around this green planet, and maybe it’s not my last I’ve been an outlier, and outsider Different As a child others didn’t understand my meanings, not catching the sense of humour that was sometimes bizarre Even now, I teach […]

Ouroboros
This week has worn me down. I find the days go so fast, and yet they seem to all repeat the same thing over and over. In my little cubicle in the world I deal with microcosms, and have only small windows into the world of others. I really do like being able to help, […]

Showdown
The hardest thing to do When each day is through Is to look into your soul To find your life’s true goal Each thought has its own weight Bound to you by the hand of fate It looks you in the eye And dares you to tell a lie Stronger than guile, Bursting through denial […]

Champion
Cookies by the light of the stove, long after the kids are in bed changing the oil early in the morning before the kid goes back to school, because you want to keep them safe and that’s what you know countless road trips over icy highways, shuttling them back and forth helping to pick all […]
