I love words – random words, words in context, words out of context, layered words, nerd words and lost words. Though I am rarely at a loss for words. I covet Brian Bilston’s brilliance with words because words often become my tiny poems of the day ….. See what I mean 😊 If I had […]
I realize now that I have been living poetry all my life. I fold clothes. In a good year I have even ironed clothes and I mend clothes. Mary Oliver lives her poems in nature. I have only recently had the time to do this. But I have for most of my life lived the
If I leave early in the morning, maybe 7:00am when the sun is just up, I can be almost alone in the poem of the day. Thank you Mary Oliver for putting my day into words.

…OK it’s really not a Joy. I have had to start doing exercises, which I hate with a passion, to overcome some Camino setbacks. The worst has been Plantar Fasciitis. It’s foot pain caused by overweight – read backpack and needs to be addressed. Purgatory #1 – exercise. I hate it – them. But I
I came across a peculiar piece of syntax in the newspaper the other day. It was in an obituary about a very interesting woman, who had led an amazing life. In the litany of achievements she had accomplished was the note that she was a serial “marrier”- meaning, I presume, that she had had several
