Day 84: Another wind

Day 84: Another wind

While my mom dances on the wind, I am stuck down here on earth with all the bad things I inherited from her. The tension forms rocks in my lower back, my shoulder blades.

Day 4: All mixed up

Today was one of those days when I could not stay focused on anything for more than two minutes. It made me edgy … or maybe I already was … I couldn’t tell. Too many interruptions. I couldn’t get a grip on the day. To illustrate this day, I feel like I need a penny … read more Day 4: All mixed up
