Easter egg hunt
They lined up against the fence, Gazes fixed, glares intense Battle fever glowed in their stance, Even though a few tripped on their pants Ready, set, GO!!! A wild cry erupted Screams all around, kids interrupted Cranky and tearful without the prize Tears flowed like a river from her eyes Yes, this is how I…

The Measure of A Human
Today is Good Friday. What does that mean to you? I’m not really sure what it means to me now that I’m an adult. I grew up Christian and went to church almost every week until I left home at eighteen. Then my visits to church became more sporadic, and recently only for the christenings…

Fate
Tick tock, tick tock How many minutes does a heart hold? Each cell born with a predestined number, the end at the beginning already decided Do we influence fate? Or bow to its will? How much of what I do matters? Would the path be the same without my involvement? I like to think I…

Becoming me
Once again it’s five am. A bunch of songs run through my head about early mornings but I can’t catch most of them. Thankfully today isn’t starting out as an ear worm day. Instead, I’m soaking in the feeling of coziness with my coffee and my TENS machine on my bad foot. It’s my bad…

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. The illness had been a long time building, but slowly he’d slipped through her fingers, a few memories at a time until he lay mutely, not responding to those he’d loved so…

Tenacious
The drive to work is full of the symbols of life. Spring has come, strong in its will to oust the winter Pussywillows stretching from branches, Questing for the sun. The geese have returned, honking their pleasure at newly open expanses of water, A sugar crust of ice remaining Sleep is a struggle for many…
