I think no matter what your choice of profession, being authentic is a challenge, is necessary, and is courageous. I was checking out a new music artist the other day that sent me an email. On that site was a video. The artist had played a gig in a city. In the video the performer [...]

When I have time, I love to monkey around on YouTube. That is not the new love. I love Broadway musicals. That’s not new news either.
My new love are the YouTube clips of Wicked the Broadway musical about the tale of the Wicked Witch of the West of Oz fame. I am so wild [...]

These are somehow comforting to me… or at least a confirmation that I’m not squirrel bait….

I have fallen in love with Marc Chagall’s paintings. It’s a recent love affair for me. I had never had the honor of viewing his work before and even now it’s only online. I love the poetry in his art very much. I love an entire cubist avant-garde Russian village in I and the Village.
I adore his [...]

When you are hit with the blues for some reason
Inexplicably
While normally you may be sunshine and light
Bizarrely
You feel as azure as a Sri Lankan sapphire
Where do you go
Curiously
When the doldrums
Unquestionably
Come in like high tide
Do you for comfort hide
Temporarily
In the arms of dear authors
Sensibly
For the stable sage wisdom of their words
Perhaps for peace you cling
Desperately
To the [...]

Random April-isms
Current mood: artistic
Category: Writing and Poetry
If you were here
Right now
What would I say?
I would say something
Witty to make you laugh
I love to make you laugh
If you were here
Right now
What would we do?
I would brew you a cup
Of tea because you like it
And I like being with you
If you were here
Right [...]

I can’t remember the first time that I read anything by Madeleine L’Engle. But I would imagine that it was A Wrinkle in Time like most people. I do however remember vividly when I fell in love with Madeleine L’Engle’s writing. I read that same book aloud [...]

She has sheltered me
Like mother and father should
She has raised me child wild and creative
She allowed me to imagine and speak
She gave me wings and dreams
The cost was rich, red, and river like
She is young and lovely still
She has much to learn; still naive
History tells of her blind eyes and sword drawn
She lifts her torch [...]
