I had found a new place of quiet and it looked out at a huge field. The weather change made for real beauty. I got outside my car to enjoy the activity of bees, ladybugs and butterflies in the field of green. The lilacs were especially busy with their flowers being loved on by everything.

I saw her when I went to grab some lunch. A homeless woman begging for help on a familiar corner. I see a few faces now and again but don’t often carry cash. Today I had a few bucks and as I tried to eat, my thoughts kept going back to her form. I hadn’t [...]

Fruit…tasty fruit is to be had. Imagine yourself biting into the most amazing piece of fruit. The juices are so much they run down your chin onto your hands holding it and then down your arms. The sweetness of its flavor is an explosion to your senses.
Ask for it and it shall be yours…..receive it [...]

I live near a city where life on the streets is for real. No precious bedroom community. It’s all about immediate needs for survival. A tune humming in my head from a rap artist has been repetitive…”I want to be free (that’s the truth)”…

It’s a stunning view when you see cloud cover hide an entire mountain top, leaving only the lower hill area exposed so you understand the size of what you are looking at. When I watched this from a distance I was wondering what it might feel like to be on that mountain this day. To [...]

I am finding to dream my own dreams leaves me less than satisfied. My imagination is limited by defined experiences or visions planted by others. I want to own the dreams of a child once more. That time when there was no definition to possibilities because I hadn’t yet been taught of the world.
