Pools of Angry Humans

(Spoken Word) COVID lends itself to the world as a good-enough reason to become angry, be angry, and stay angry No matter who it emperils. Although sometimes it can become farcical it most of all hurts the actor playing the role of “angry human”. Suicides, mental illnesses, murder rates, and WHAT ELSE […]

Ikky-Tiki-Poo-Poo!

Ikki-Tikki-Poo-Poo!

Surrounding me every quarter inch it looks like a field of sprinkled pebbles. Except, it is not. It is my waste coming out of my body as I struggle to find a peace-filled, dark, warm, and dry place to rest my weary body. My name is Ikki-Tiki-Poo-Poo. I am a grown female bat living on […]

A Cruise to Somewhere Else

A shocking slice of troubling times… A man, a woman, a cruising castle floating on water, and a moment of “bell buoy” rescue.

What If

What if the God of our personal understanding has brought on the pandemic as a way to test us ~ to see if we will hush complaining and simply follow without blame or judgment? What if She/He/It/They are using the pandemic as a way to cull the globe of too many humans? […]

Surrender

Why is it so very difficult to lift our own hearts to the God of our understanding for healing? For my shredded heart is ill-equipped to understand the nefarious hatred and anger of humans at times. There are screaming humans who believe I am scraping and servile in my demeanor. They scream very quietly […]

GreyBaby Comes Home

What a kitty! He sleeps soundlessly with me each night Sometimes sprawled on his back as though awaiting a tummy-rub He brings such joy each day at the cobbled-together fresh lake cottage in north-central Florida. He is a “Rescue” which means he is found by dear neighbors wandering as a wild animal throughout the […]
