Get Up!!!
She wasn’t sure what was a dream and what was reality anymore. A rather large dog was yelling at her to “Get up!” and she really wanted nothing of it. She was content with being curled up in her bed. She vaguely remembered something about taking a walk and wondered if the dog needed to […]
Relax, it’s just prayer…
She returned back to earth a couple days later having read an almost 1100 page novel and feeling worse than ever. One gets emotionally involved in these things and now she was left to sit with her own thoughts and figure out where she’d “go” next in her reading version of time travel. The feeling of emptiness […]
Cancer Sucks…
She sat quietly thinking how disgusting it was that she could even complain about a single thing in her life. She’d just gotten the news that a beloved family member was now in stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Though she knew from the initial diagnosis that this was not a cancer one “beat”, it still hit […]
The jar on the fireplace…
She sat thinking about her misery and how she nurtured it. She fed it and kept it alive with every self destructive thing that she did. She wasn’t stupid. She knew better. But subconsciously, and sometimes even consciously, she kept it going just the same because it was hers. It was there in front of […]
What would her dreams be tonight???
An uneasy feeling wrapped around her like a foggy morning in San Francisco. And it stayed with her all day. She wished she could put a finger on what was really bothering her. Often times she could sense things before they came to pass, but today was just a general ill feeling one might get […]
Mother Earth is getting pissed…
She was starting to wonder if Mother Earth wasn’t trying to say something to us all. The most recent “Motherly chats” being the horrific rumblings in Haiti and now Chile. Earthquakes were something she knew all too well and that old idea of a piece of California breaking off or worse yet, some obscure faultline […]
Coming Back Down…
She thought about how coming back down was always such a relief (once it started and she accepted she had no choice) yet held so much fear as if she were in an elevator that may never stop going down. She wished she had someone who was there for her, someone who truly understood. But people […]
Love me back to life…
She remembered hearing this song for the first time…a friend had shared it with her…someone suffering as well. Funny how the suffering, how misery needs company. Love Me Back To Life
We can only change ourselves…
Her mood had lifted and she somehow knew things were going to get better because it really wasn’t in her hands anyway. She’d wasted so much time worrying about something she had not a single bit of control over. Had she really learned nothing after all? It was time to start focusing on the things […]
A book and a nap and the will to fight…
One common escape from her life and kind of a necessity to her existence was reading, and today was no exception. She had decided to pick up Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol as she knew it would draw her in and keep her mind off of her own drama. She could only dream to be as […]
