Our hearts
Funny thing about our hearts. They never do learn. They go out to whom they go out. And they love and care and hope and desire. Even when there is no good reason for them to continue to do so.
And then, after they’ve come back home and maybe found a new someone to love and care for, they still have that repository of remembered love and it’s like ( Read more... ) -
Haiku
My heart longs to know
What caress kindles your depths
Ignites your wild soul

One of these days...
One of these days they’ll be right and we’ll get all the snow they promise us. We did get an inch or so overnight, enough that I figured I’d better clear the sidewalks and driveway. So at 5:30 this morning I was outside shovel in hand doing what is basically my civic duty. Of course if I didn’t do it then while it was relatively warm,. I’d pay ( Read more... ) -

Arizona Getaway
It's been awhile since I've written. Work has been busy and making time to gather my thoughts is a challenge sometimes.
We did, however, manage to slip away for a week to what were supposed to be warmer climes in Arizona. Not so much. When you're expecting sun and 70's, rain for two days and then a peak temperature of 62 is not all that ( Read more... ) -
Do You Know...
Do you know you’re the one I want to be with?
That it doesn’t matter where or when, that there’s no one I’d rather see.
Do you know that even when you roll out of bed you’re beautiful?
That even with morning breath, I love to kiss you and hold you?
Do you know how much I love telling you I love you?
That you mean more to me today ( Read more... ) -
Keeping up
It’s been a busy week. Lots of meetings and late nights and things that keep life hopping. It doesn’t help that one of the guys who works for me had jury duty, another is looking at a torn labrum, my assistant is on a leave of absence and someone else had to leave for a couple of days due to a death close to the family. But as long as you keep ( Read more... ) -
Bullets
· I know I’m not the most regular person posting here. It’s something I need to work on. Especially since I’ve been feeling down lately and think it will help to focus on all of life instead of the things that are distracting me too much. When we lose sight of the beauty and majesty of the simple things that surround us, I think we’re ( Read more... ) -
Long Day Closing
The cloud curtain lifted
The western horizon revealed
Hues of pink and orange
The snow that threatened all day
Fell away from its hem
Blurring the edges of sky and shroud
The wind flicked gently again
Our hair set to dancing
Our cheeks feeling the bite
Cold, ice laden air
The last embers of the leaf pile
Flickered to dark
Left smouldering ‘neath our buckets

Wish You Were Here
Refuge is where you find it. Respite a state of mind
And it seems that a chance conversation and a little exploring helped me to find a place to hide away for a lunch break or two.
It’s a little borough park on the edge of a neighborhood. It’s 200 yards from a main thoroughfare and 100 yards from a warehouse complex. The pavilion is 100 feet from ( Read more... )
