Three days ago I saw a sleek warship in Halifax that looked like it came from a futuristic sci-fi movie. That thought actually crossed my mind, for Halifax is a city where many international movies are shot. Both Titanic and K-19 The Widowmaker were partially shot in Halifax. But, via serendipity...

Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me. I love rainy days. I don't like the sun. I've found that most people seem to be the opposite and crave sunshine and actually dislike the cloudy days. But, for me, when it's rainy and overcast, my mind, for some reason, is better attuned to the...

Waves crash in the night, reflecting the light of the full moon. Sabine walks on the beach’s edge pondering love. Two kinds: love that smothers and love that let’s go. Many thoughts ebb and flow through her consciousness with the crashing of the waves. She feels the mist on her face and the taste...

        July 21   SYMPTOMATIC BOUQUET     My bouquet of symptoms took root in alcoholism.  I displayed these blossoms to few.  I thought I could keep these problem posies to myself.  No need to worry, everyone has a bit of manure in their lives;...

This is actually a repost. But I Skyped with my husband this morning. He is still in Uganda. And I remembered  being with him. MORNING JAZZ   Silky swirls of a soft saxophone fall across my shoulders and cause me to relax and link words together to string a necklace around the morning....
