This is not a sermon.
Don't take it that way.
It isn't a lecture or a lesson.
Enjoy your life and don't look back which is easier said than done.
Hoping regret doesn't befriend me as it has for many.
If for some reason that makes no sense to you, others don't what to participate.
Let them live theirs as best they can.
It is your life

Writing is like breathing
It is easier to write than say what you feel
The effort is way different
You befriend the paper and ideas flow
Sometimes they get stuck because of circumstances beyond one's control
It defines us
It is that Simple

The Summer Muse is calling
Other writers will understand but each genre has different requirements
You fashion and select words that tell a story uniquely as well and as creatively as possible
You hear the words in your head and then run to a keyboard or a pen
Metaphors and similes dance in your mind as you try to create new ones that are fresh with meaning
Poets know that the Muses have chosen them and that and so much more is what a poet knows

Traffic slowed
The turtle was either injured or a Senior having trouble getting back to his pond
Drivers were waving others on because they cared enough and noticed
Getting out to help or assist the poor turtle might have done more harm than good
I am praying and hoping the turtle gets back safely

This stunning Blue Jay chose to fly after every step I took
It is incredibly warm today but this little stunner was flying from tree to mailbox keeping up with me
Perhaps as a sign of better things to come and some happiness which seems to be keeping its distance lately

I am different
Deal with it
Sensitivity personified
My heart is on my sleeve and has been stepped on but comes back more resilient every single time
Wear it proudly
My tears are cried in private
My kindness and goodness are part of who I AM
Pardon me if it defines me
There is too much pain and ignorance in this world
As a writer, I do my part and usually quietly
Believe what you will
Religion and politics are not topics to discuss or write about for me Several men and women should wear orange jumpsuits and one's last name is Green
They live in the past and even if I could I would make them disappear
They are entitled to their beliefs but not on my time
Even if I could
