Love, any kind of love, is a luxury in a society that does not value one’s worth. I cannot tell them in person, for as Shakespeare said…they have shuffled off this mortal coil…but I thank my parents for taking care of me. I understand that was all the bandwidth they had. They grew up with…

Mind doodle! Just because I don’t want to dwell on reality. Not today! Intersex/hermaphrodite–someone who is born with a reproductive system that doesn’t fit the typical definition of male or female. Where am I going with this? have you heard of Ophiuchus? Some years ago, I read an article about the thirteenth sign of the Zodiac and…

Widow makers–that’s how one may reference the fallen branches in the woods, the forests, anywhere there is a tree! As you know, we live in a patriarchy and only males walk in the woods–therefore, widow makers. Also, if you happen to be hit by a falling branch, most likely you will die or wish you…

I never thought lavender would be a go-to color, but I recently decorated a room with the main color theme of lavender and cream. It is peaceful, serene, restful. I wish I had thought of the color combination sooner! A plane crashed. This time the Republicans didn’t even bother with their meaningless sanctimonious thoughts and…

Turtles are terrapins and terrapins are turtles. They just prefer different environments in which to thrive. This past summer, this terrapin sunned itself by my back door and didn’t budge when I opened the door. I suppose it was exploring because the nearest suitable habitat was the brackish water in the abandoned railroad bed that…

Today, I saw a cardinal. We each noted one the other. A cock of its head in my direction, a nod from me. And, then, it flew away to tend to its day and I, to mine. World Trade Center September 11, 2001 I don’t watch television in the morning, so I had no idea…

Hancock Fabric Store is long gone. Back in the day, there was the Remnant House. That’s been gone for decades. Now, Jo-Ann’s has filed for bankruptcy again, second time in as many years. The Wal-Marts, where I live, sell precut fabric. Hobby Lobby sells fabric, but there is no Hobby Lobby near me and I…

Change is good! I’ve decided the name for the two legged animals that claim to be the most advanced on this planet should be homo ignoranium stupidus. That way the first letter of each of the words spell out HIS, which ties in more with the patriarchy that has created this creature. And, this should…

THe name for modern humans should be homo stupidus ignoranium. “Sapiens” should be deleted from any description of the modern human. Why debase, devalue, or pervert the meaning of sapiens? Let’s just admit that as a species we shouldn’t delude ourselves by saying or thinking that sapiens is a fact or that it is aspirational.…

I had smoked turkey and corn pudding for Thanksgiving. The corn pudding was a surprise. My niece, who is a decent cook, made the corn pudding. I’m still eating leftovers and will have enough for Sunday dinner. With these shortened days, the chill has come. A friend who lives in the southern part of Tennessee…
