Angel
December 23, 2022 It is a great storm of rain and winds, and I am resting fully, often sleeping, being healed gradually, with a calm, glowing expression I feel, ‘though little voice. And then the sun brightens, so brightly, I let my eyes open; it is so luxurious. It does not look like I will […]

Just Two More Things: A Secret Story to Gift and a Novel Read
(This is my fortune cookie today, featured photo: I could have written it! You know 😅And maybe I did, indirectly, with “algorithms.”) I said I would go on my blog vacation, then I left on a sad note and with my original blog theme needing to be restored, and it is working fine now…that has […]

Someplace Else Away
oh, this bird stopped by yesterday 🙂 I could call this a retreat but I am honest it is in a way but it seems that many people close to me find me overwhelming, doing wasteful things, or just annoying in general, Miss May seems to welcome me fully; we have plenty to laugh about […]

And Now I’ll Tell You Some Life Stories Instead

Not My Door, But I Got My Classic and My Bright Bookmark

A Song for the Day and Night: Perfect by Ed Sheeran feat. Andrea Bocelli
the moon at dawn Beginning the day with song, attuned to love, listening, maybe a little singing… 💕💖🌴🎼✨💃💗🎼🌴💖💕 I love all the lyrics as well, especially how the song gradually winds into full Italian singing, as if on a little gondola gliding over the water with the mandolin sounds and all the music… * Yesterday’s […]

A Note Found and a Bookmark and A Great First Art Show
I found this bookmark in a library book I’d taken out and read yesterday, a slim blue copy of literary insight with a little biography of poet Edna St. Vincent Millay. From that book, these lines of a poem by Edna I’d not heard of spoke to me most poignantly: The stone the angel rolled […]

My Vacation with a Book, a Cup, and Plum Village
I am on vacation at home. After cleaning and vacuuming and hanging up the new laundry out of the dryer, I continued mindfulness practices on the Plum Village app this afternoon, a community I’d found years ago whose meditations and teachings I’ve found so clear and beautifully expressed and a very enjoyable app. Some of […]

Blushing Mornings, Angels, A 246th Yr Birthday Woman, and More
📰2021, 16 December Tuesday and Wednesday mornings…back to back blush. Did you guess right? Would I choose a new book or one to reread?

Your Sunday Picture Book
Mid-morning after we woke, Peeko was napping contentedly on the bed at sunrise. Here he was lounging just across from my living room chair facing where I would sit a few moments before I did (and where he doesn’t usually sit) and I knelt to take this photo of him at eye level before I […]

What A Day Could Do, How Fun It Was…Continued
I don’t feel so great, so I listen to my Party playlist on shuffle, without the party or the dancing, just an everyday stroll kind of walk.

The Queen’s Full Moon…From a Fairy of the East Coast to Bring Some Fun When a Storm’s A’Coming
August 22, 2022 Science Experiment Conclusion: My hypothesis was wrong; it actually is harder to hold a strength pose while someone’s yelling obscene insults, even if it’s just Nicki Minaj artistically in a song. (Glad for the wall 😊)But I can still practice seated poses and relaxation in the meanwhile, ‘tho other songs of hers […]

an artwork I’d come across last year * Tea with God and many and you. 🙂 🎶 A song for today’s Catholic Feast Day: The Assumption of Mary into Heaven, with elaborate layers of prayerful lyrics, harmony, dynamics, and meditative, acoustic instrumentation.

Blush and Plenty of It
The sky was azure blue when I woke and I said good morning. I sometimes practice saying ‘May’, with emphasis on the y accent for fun as I can spell a word now in a new language, her name: مي. She painted the sky just then with plenty of blush (I know in heaven a […]
