  • It seems that my period of angst and frustrations is not yet over. ๐Ÿฅบ Although I had made an attempt to adjust my brain so that I was not thinking like a spoilt child, it only took a few rude words to send me back into the pit of despair. Basically, I feel untethered. Not…

  • Doing and Being – Me

    Last week’s poem was a few days/weeks in the making. I have been feeling a desire to return to writing poetry as sometimes prose is too wordy and lacks an elegance that poetry has in expressing thoughts or emotions. It has been a while since I have used it as a way of expressing myself,…

  • A poem: Life Just Is

    โ€”

    by

    in

    Life just is – a wandering of this world trying to discover what will unfurl. Life just is – a string of experiences some good, some bad, some open doors, others fences. Life just is – a chance to learn about ourselves, about others, about on what we should concern. Life just is – but…

  • Looking for the Silence in the Noise

    Well, we are in Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น again. I am not yet ready to update on the settling process; it will be coming soon as there has been some progress, but the art of learning to be patient continues to be the school of life. Either way, I will soon be graduating ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŽ“ or dropping out…

  • Dichotomies of Youth

    Itโ€™s true that I have a critical view of the world and people. I probably should have trained to become a judge ๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿฝโ€โš–๏ธ as I hold individuals, including myself, to a high moral standard. Also, I am a constant observer, analyst, and commentator on human behavior. Often, this comes out as harsh, arrogant, and not…

  • Happy 45th!

    With the average lifespan of a woman being about 81.1 years according to 2020 stats, Iโ€™m more than halfway through my walk on earth. However, I consider myself good to at least 90 or so; therefore, I shall call this year mid-life. Thereโ€™s no crisis in thought like there was around my 40th when M…

  • Europe Phase II

    Six months ago, we landed in France planning to rent for a few months and then finding a place to put down roots long-term. As life continues to remind me, most things rarely go as planned…. First, there is COVID with lockdowns and difficulties in being able to explore areas. Then, there is a lack…

  • 2020: Pausing to Breathe

    It is becoming popular to say โ€œ2020โ€ sucks because of COVID-19. It is becoming acceptable to complain and then blame it on the year that so many claim has not happened nor looks like it will before 2021 arrives. I am curious to know if there is a common introverted vs extroverted response to the…

  • Keeping Up with Normal

    This week, I decided to create a new “Quarantine Schedule” to try to get myself ready for the eventual return to regularly scheduled activities. Since I have gotten used to having time at home everyday, I decided it was time to start behaving as if I were going to an office – just minus the…

  • The Temporariness of Life

    Where does the time go? There I was thinking that I was on regular schedule for posting, but then three weeks just flew by! Now, I am back in March and hoping to not jinx my flow. I guess I have still been a bit busy with work and trying to find the ever elusive…
