  • A Little Faery Music

      Clap your hands if you believe in faeries…           Ladew Gardens meets Peter Pan.  

  • Inside Looking Out

        Through the window pane of the Hobbit House, where delicate vines climb and cling and sing all over the old abode.   Safe inside. Safe outside too, thanks to a cat with special powers, who watches over me.   As long as I feed her.   On time.   Daylight savings time too.…

  • Are We Dead Yet? or What Are You Waiting For?

        Now here's a gruesome thought… (bear with me) Since we – each and every one of us – (except those magicians among us) are going to die one day, then we really are the living dead.   Rather than being a depressing thought, this idea has the potential to liberate us from the…

  • Who’s Your Monster?

        There are so many scary movies around now, and tv shows that showcase murder and horror. If your everyday life were anything like that you'd live in a state of high anxiety. You'd be a mess.   Our demons and monsters come out to play at Halloween. Our shadows are allowed to shine.…

  • Are You A Being or A Doing?

        On considering the possibility of actual mermaids being discovered, what would be the most interesting thing that we could learn about our kin in the sea?   That they send their kids to the best underwater schools? That they work really hard to get a piece of the treasure that is hidden somewhere…

  • Is That You Mom?

                         Mom?           That's not Mom.                   Are you sure?           It's not Mom.                   No, too tall I guess.                   Mom?           It's not Mom!         (This was posted October 5th, 2011, my third post! And now edited a bit too.)  

  • Famous Last Words

        "Watch this!"     (Apologies to all the armadillos who end up as road kill. Here's hoping that it is always an adventure for each and every one of you.)       Famous last words seen on a patch on a biker babe's jacket. See also Cat Meets Armadillo here. Related articles Alien…
