reward...

my final school exams involved heady prep days of study study study + many small bowls of nuts + dried fruit for artificial energy but I found a surprise #reward a kind of time out for my eyes a dark moth on my study wall in a new space each day my eyes loved hide n seek games #vs365

when I was young I worried that I never seemed to fit in I watched friendship groups YET I was shy and preferred (loved) walking alone now I am older I lead a writers' group I feel this is my 'in' crowd but my #reward is I can still walk alone #vss365

phantasm...

sometimes it is healthier to frame a #phantasm of perfect loving yesterdays than to dwell on the famine of prison camps even if that phantasm is really very small magnify it but don't forget to keep watch on those prison camps outside the frame and keep walking #vss365

a blend of bushland and farmland when powdered with early morning mist becomes an ethereal magical kingdom a living #phantasm of somewhere my return regular walk accepts that trees fence posts and electrified barbed wire have now too returned to regular duties #vss365

two souls...

I don't write to be famous I write to explore to feel the beauty of the small the humble the often missed moments so someone else may feel my moments too and maybe glow

illusion...

to wish to be forever young is a dangerous dream if that wish just entails the body #illusion the soul with the wisdom of time knows better ask Dorian Gray #vss365

hostile winds may fan summer fires friendly winds may cool summer sufferings autumn and spring winds are moody artists but winter winds give the #illusion of stripping the warmth of life bare #vss365

wolf...

it should be an ordinary Monday morning ordinary meaning fixed ho hum bill paying + appointment day where possible it should be but always the #wolf within me howls in protest hungry to walk my own songline sometimes the wolf sneaks in a risky detour #vss365

once I flew to Canada + returned with an arty souvenir of a howling #wolf (of course) once I delightedly watched (of course) a documentary on the life of a wolf + howlings but thoughtfully I sacrificed my pleasure + turned down the volume so my furball could sleep #vss365

exhilaration...

I so love a nail manicure one Monday Mother Nature unleashed a storm of storms it was my monthly manicure Monday to cancel or not to cancel BUT thankfully my manicurist cancelled my #exhilaration exploded I admit on this day I was glad to have nothing I MUST do (sorry nails) #vss365

from today the familiar white ute will no longer swing into her driveway from today I lose a great neighbour a great friend to a little home by the sea her #exhilaration is boundless as is my sadness but I have her gift her rocking chair and her words 'think of me' #vss365

ravenous...

blood connections remain blood connections (like it or not) but friendship romance even marriage may be fractured by a ripple or two (or smashed by a tsunami) no matter the longing perhaps that #ravenous feeling for permanent possession is actually a craving to be understood always #vss365

we're creeping toward the season of extravagant feasts shops beckon tempting many buyers to spend on luxury they really can't afford many long to gift and be gifted but at the final family table there could be an empty chair #ravenous to welcome one more from afar #vss365
