"Inside A Snowdrop..."Today the winter is not as chill, nor as gray. An azure depth backdrops the "fade"-to-white and the eyes remember what to see beneath patterns that shift and flow. You hear your footsteps and ...feel the silence leave your mind. / "Inside A Snowdrop..." / Driplets - droplets

"An Hour And 20 Minutes..."Format-Contests, word use, count OR time-constraint challenges... time limits - mind limits ~ people and self-imposed reach-for-a-brass-ring-through-the-cell-bars - to prove what? Inadequacy-ability-mentality or the lack of just... humanity. I guess when all-is-said-and-undone -Today I am 'something' that apparently yesterday or before the inquisition - I wasn't. / I would guess you can see how I really feel about doing 'challenges' - just for the sake of another's aggrandizement... notice I didn't say I wouldn't - just how I FEEL about doing them. Chuckling here. OK, 90 minutes began with the first word on a blank page - go... / "An Hour And 20 Minutes..."

"Once Upon A Time..." "The Cafe' - Life As We Live It" Series"The Cafe' - Life As We Live It" / "Once Upon A Time..." / I've found myself 'day-dreaming' again - dangerous to be doing that because it makes for intense thoughts... and just how can emotional stability survive when your mind is re-inventing your 'heart' over and over and over again? And its not spring-generated fantasies of long-svelte-limbed, angel-faced, hour-glass-figured, cookie-cutter, 20-ish, magazine-material women - though god KNOWS there ARE a few of them around... lol, quite a few on sunny days and this IS a College town!

"Hey Ole Man..." "The Cafe' - Life As We Live It" Series“The Cafe' - Life As We Live It" / "Hey Ole Man..." / "Hey ole man, how’s your coffee holding up?” I paused my writing - just more of my scrawling, actually, and looked up. Her eyes were crinkle-squinched and her lips had that smile. “God’s gonna get ya…” I said, “Ole man…sheesh…” and motioned toward the empty mug.

"When..."Each of us has a version, an expectation - if you will, of just what "When" means. I wandered this place - coffee in hand. Looking, looking, listening, moving on. Friends, strangers, nooks and grannies, lil cracks in the walls - windows all, windows to the world of all the places that aren't and yet were... and its Tuesday no less - figures, all visited, ringing so stridently in the ears... / The sounds of silence... / "When..."
