A Capricorn Moon upon Gibran
Yesterday’s middle post, ‘Clouds and a Light Drizzle…’ linked at the end, has now been fixed to show featured image.

Another Word on Another Herb, and More
I have aimed to not write too many posts in one day for readers’ enjoyment, but will write a second if it’s a sort of timely occasion like this.

A Morning So New
Here in my new spot to sit with tea in the living room on a morning with sun—tilt the chair beside the window, set down the cup upon the tea towel on the side table and be in the light. It’s a very sleepy morning, but a beautiful one anyway. The sky, how it looked…… Continue reading A Morning So New
A Photo Walk Inside
And the rest for readers will begin now… Hi and welcome 😊🙏. A saltwater floral candle lit on the mantle, a ‘vintage’ Target purchase—most candles last a long time as I don’t light mine so long that it destroys the senses when you were truly just hoping for some soothing relaxation.

‘…What Should I Be?’
Upon awakening this morning I worked on my first ghazal poem awhile yesterday in the late afternoon and into the night just before bed.

A Voice, Its Tone, Beauty Without a Case
A note just added as P.S. at 9:23 am after the ‘good morning’ glass picture. Words that hurt are not always an insult; they can be a cry from someone who is frustrated with the lack of real acknowledgment that something is wrong. But the other person may only choose to hear an insult to…… Continue reading A Voice, Its Tone, Beauty Without a Case

My Dream Took My Post Title and I Want to Move So This One Will Do

Tales To Tell This Morning
Good morning. I opened my eyes to such a blush of rose in the sky that made me smile instinctively and I sent up a kiss and then another one (instead of trying to capture it on camera first.)

Amongst Creative Things, Practical Things and the Unfailing Blend of Them Both
It was time for his history lesson, but the teacher was late. 🍎🧚♀️ There are lessons happening with us, including ‘practical’ ones, like receiving my CPR/First Aid/AED for Adults and Children certification.
