How It Goes

We gave no others
Those things we found alone,
We shared together
Otherwise, outside space, time,
Our reasons belonged to us.

In lonely hours
We scored companionship through
Impulses on screen
Then called feelings provoked
Newly forged reality.

When corporeal
Life faded early adopters
On the cutting edge
Became those most easily
Able to adjust and thrive.

Creativity
Became the measure of
The pandemic age
Love at a distance rewarded
Those who could communicate
Fluidly in all states whether
Screen distant or face to face.

My computer has a completely new attitude and works like a dream, thanks to my guru. I hope all of you are doing well.

As a prompt, think about the changes in your life recently, create something that embodies what you are going through. Alternately, create something about how you hope things will be in the future.

Happy Mother’s Day

My Mom and I in July 1992. She was my bridesmaid that day; the most gorgeous I could have dreamed. Mom believed in me when I could not. She helped me when no one else would. She gave me the world because she taught me reading and writing.

The loss of her is incalculable. The times I need her are astronomical. I hope the Lord will give her a hug in Heaven and wish her Happy Mother’s Day for me!

My computer is being repaired. It is in desperate shape and will require time. I am posting from the tablet, and this may be it today. The week has been a series of disasters, praying things improve. I do not even have a working cellphone at present.

When beset by trouble, it will pass, good times will return.

When your tech goes beserk, it is well if you have redundant systems.

Short Musings

Conversation is
A lifeboat holding us safe
When storms run rampant.

It is not who we
Are, it is what we can share
That is meaningful.

Some things are so hard to explain, but the explanation means the whole world.

I have hundreds of little musings like this I have written on Social Media. I once tried to copy all the ones on Twitter, tired me out. I just make up stuff. I think a lot. Mostly I try to do haiku and tanka, but sometimes I just feel things. I wonder why I spend time on futility.

I have mentioned here before that those two forms are great warm-ups. You might try some when you are having a difficult time creating. A prompt if you need one.

I am thankful:

1. For unexpected gifts.
2. For education.
3. For pets.

4. For the ability to entertain myself.

5. For music.

I sincerely believe that gratitude gives a huge appreciation for what inhabits our lives and opens our boundaries for receiving more blessings. It has been my practice for a long time to write lists of those things for which I am thankful. I recommend you include it in your life.

This may be my only post today. I have some plans which I hope come to fruition. I am having challenges that are daunting. I sincerely hope they work out soon.

Whatever you do, chase joy. It will bless you with more happiness than you expect.

Ever On.

I always want images and color with my words, so I am experimenting with it a bit again. I, after all, once published a magazine.
