Well, today it’s back to the introspection thing. Lynn found yesterday’s effort a tad unsettling. Peopling (or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love Tolerate The Crowd) Once upon a time there was, a boy who never learned. To be a boy like others were, so all friendships he spurned. He swore he needed…

It’s late and I should be in bed, buuuuuut…… this should just take a minute. Seek a Different Path The dance begins, the battle joined, the words cut just like knives. We know that we should just let go, this is not worth our lives. But we can’t just forget the hurts, keep living…

My Springtime Ode The freebird sits up in the tree, And sings a freebird song. And all the other birds join in, And have a sing along. A squirrel hears the song and stops, And chatters out a line. About the joys of nuts and such, It really sounds quite fine, A doe and fawn…

How Was Your Day? Another day a crisis fixed, A dozen more to go. By the time they’re all resolved, Two dozen more I know. I run and run and work and swear, The problems multiply. Some days I want to rage or drink, Some days just want to cry. I know we’re all in…
