My mind keeps searching for a synonym for darkness.
Something that captures the breath of dark. It is a biting, steely, breath that gasps in strangulation. Something that captures the smell of darkness. It is the stench of rot. Something that captures the feel of darkness. It is the feeling of the lake bottom meeting your feet [...]

My thoughts are far away this morning.
I think they are in France.
The outskirts of Paris in a forgotten little neighborhood that is still and hushed. It smells like rosemary and fresh baked baguette. And when it snows here, the flakes come down in alphabet shapes and dance together to spell things like “ooh la la” [...]

Broodiness is settling in as the snow turns over to sleet. Sleet brings a different kind of cold and a different kind of grey. Charcoal instead of silvery.

Finally a peaceful moment after a long morning. The baby wanted to be held, and the two year old wanted to be…two. The nap. Thank God for the nap. Time to catch your breath. Time to look up and see who else is around.

The tiny little bits of ice that formed and clung to the trees overnight just couldn’t hang on for another moment. Morning broke with each passing second and soft rays of yellow and gold beamed stronger as the sun peaked over the horizon. The frozen pellets swooned in its presence…and simply…melted. One by one they fainted and dropped from the tips [...]

So here it is…
The new site. Eeek, I admit that I feel as if I had butterflies for dinner and now they are all ramping about in my stomach. But there is also a tugging at my heartstrings that says this is going to be okay. It feels authentic and I think that means that [...]
