    • I am a Writer

      • In the night I am a writer. The words that stream through my consciousness are poetic. They flow, full of life, tumbling forward in a rush, longing to be put to paper.

        Unfortunately, by morning, they have slipped away....

    • I'm no Prophet

      • Well now, I don't roll my eyes and I am certainly not a prophet so I cannot describe a dream that was prophetic in nature. The last I heard, I haven't been selected to receive divine information from God, Gaea, or anyone else for that matter. My dreams don't come true (thank goodness or there'd be a lot of people covered in pumpkin pie or turkey bits). The closest I've come is dreaming that one of my children are sick and wake up to find that one is running to the washroom to be ill. Probable the rumbly in my tummy before bed has more to do with that, and if my kids were ill every time I dreamed about them puking they'd never be well....yes, pleasant dreams I have.

        Now, deja vu, I have ALL THE TIME and I like to take that as a little sign that all is going exactly as planned and that is good enough for me. Prophetic dreams would take the fun out of things, wouldn't they? However, I suppose dreams are a gateway to our deepest desires and fears so it might actually do good to heed them and make them prophetic in hind sight. I dream of living in a house in the middle of the forest all by myself. Perhaps it would do good to take a hike along a stream or even spend a couple hours by myself. If I do that, it doesn't mean that I'm psychic, it means that I'm listening to what's being said and that's the best one can do.

    • The Eye Roll is Overrated

      • sorry, Plinky.

        I prefer the deep sigh and shaking of the head. I could think of a million and one reasons to shake my head and say, "What is wrong with people." I won't bore you. Circular reasoning is a biggie for me, though. You want to argue, sure, but enough with the circular reasoning!

        It might even make me roll my eyes!

    • The Moon and I - Often seeing 1am

      • Bonsai Moon

        What keeps me up at night?

        All kinds of things keep me up. I think about women and society. I wonder what it would be like if we all trusted our bodies more. I contemplate the moon and our cycles. I mull over the fact that it feels like a sin when I take a moment to rest (and assume that many women feel the same way). Then because I cannot sleep, I get up and don't rest. I study. I read. Sometimes I clean the kitchen. Then I go back to bed and think about how far I strayed from the idealize view I had of parenting. I vow that I will change things and I ask for guidance and wisdom. Then I am able to fall asleep to be awoken by my infant or a 5 year old who needs a glass of water.....

        .....the other things that keep me up at night!
