THE DOGS HELD A MEETING (Written April 2017)

 The dogs held a meeting.

They decided some things.





1 If you walk on our road, prepare to be barked at.

2 The barking is to tell you it’s our road. No threat is involved or implied.

3 My people are the best, kindest, funnest, cuddliest people there are. This was a              unanimous decision!

4 Always nap whenever possible

5 I LOVE our yard.

-----The Dogs



The cats heard of this meeting and tried to hold one of their own.

However, a neutral ground could not be found, so each cat stayed in his/her own territory and grumbled about the other cats’ stupidity

Nothing was decided.

"BEING HUMAN IS A GUEST HOUSE" Written October 2021

     The Guest House      " T his being human is a guest house.       Every morning a new arrival.           A joy, a depression, a meanness,      some momentary awareness comes      as an unexpected visitor.           Welcome and entertain them all!      Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,      who violently sweep your house      empty of its furniture,      still, treat each guest honorably.      He may be clearing you out      for some new delight.           The dark thought, the shame, the malice,      meet them at the door laughing,      and invite them in. ​          Be grateful for whoever comes,      because each has been sent      as ...

THEN TO NOW Written May 22, 2020

Then to now... THEN - I knew I enjoyed talking and joking with people and how it always gave me an energy boost. NOW - I have to get my energy boosts from my garden and my dog. But boy, do I miss those casual interactions! THEN - There were some things I really wanted to stop doing, but hadn’t quite worked out how I would or could withdraw from them. NOW - Some of it just stopped, not by me but by the Covid nightmare. Others are finally coming to a close. Yehaw! My load is lightening! THEN - Funny how my mind only went as far back as just before the Covid lockdown.  It’s like my memory has shortened somehow. Power being, this nasty virus. NOW - I am struggling to tap into creativity, into hedonism, into healthy self-care. Now I work hard outside and work hard finalizing Hospice business. In fact, I really enjoy doing hard physical tasks. Hospice? Meh. But that ends soon. But pursuit of pure pleasure is elusive now, I am on some sort of pause just like the rest of the world. I need ...

DREAMLIFE

Written Feb. 25, 2022  * I love dreaming - and I love remembering them. Well, actually, it’s because I remember them that makes me think I love dreaming. = Am I going in a circle now?  Anyhow...The dream world often seems more interesting to me than being awake (Not woke! That’s something else entirely.) I seem to just move about there with no perceived agenda. I’ve never had to pay a bill or see a doctor or fix something broken in my dreams. I am often with other people.  I remember a particularly vivid dream during the height of Covid lockdowns where I went to a big party where all my friends were, many I hadn’t seen in quite a while. We were a wee bit stressed before entering about getting masks on, but once inside that all faded away. I hugged people - and there was so much laughter. And my friend Cindy and I were asked to perform - to sing. Just the thought of being onstage again excited me, and being in such a huge friendly crowd. Definitely a Covid dream - so to sp...
