Vermon: Contradictions and thinking

A little early morning babbling.

Meanderer’s Musing: By bike and by bookmobile

Today, I didn’t walk, but I did bike. And I did go around parts of the county via bookmobile. I will share just a few impressions from my meandering. First by bike: It was 63 degrees this morning. On my bike, it felt quite cool to me, almost cold, and I wondered how much of that [...]

Filling the Thank Full: Cinco de Mayo 2013

Today I will list ten things/experiences/people/places for which I give thanks. Today, I give thanks for: 1. The way the light shines on my cat’s black fur, creating spots of silvery brightness and browner spots that contrast with the deep black of her coat. 2. Cooking hoppin john from scratch. I soaked the black eyed [...]

Babbling in a bit of brightness: a Vermon for y’all

Filling the Thank Full: Second Sunday of April 2013

Today I give thanks for: 1. A cool, overcast day 2. A sudden chill that raised goosebumps on my arms and legs and made my nipples tighten 3. The lingering cool, taste of water 4. A freshly dusted and swept living room 5. The tight freshness of brand new socks 6. Being almost done with [...]

Swamp walking

For a number of weeks I have been busy, busy, busy. I have been prodigiously productive and feeling good and centered thought a bit irritable. For me, productivity cannot be separated from its good buddies, intensity and irritability. I was doing well. But in middle of last week, I slumped. I ran out of gas. [...]

Meanderer’s Musings: A day full to the brim

Today was full to the brim. I did not walk or run today, but my cup runneth over. It is just after 11:00 p.m. I have been up since a bit before 7:00 a.m. Today, I wrote for more than four or five hours. I did a video shoot. I cooked food. I loaded and [...]

Filling the Thank Full: Fourth Sunday of February 2013

Because the person and personae who share this corporal address have other fish to fry, I only get a small smidgen of writing oil with which to administer the dose of the Good (and Not So Good) Words. So I lay out five things for which I give thanks today. 1. Being on the getting [...]

Filling the Thank Full: Third Sunday in February 2013

I sit in the living room. The room is cool, almost cold, but I am comfortable in my warm pajamas, my oversized robe, a silly but warm cheetah patterned throw, a Christmas present from my young nephew so I treasure its silliness, over my legs. One of my cats is curled up beside me on [...]
