    • I'm sipping on a cup of hot green tea, no sugar. My reflection copies everything I do. It's silent in the voice department though. So I'm sipping and sighing with myself on a Saturday morning. Magic fingers massage the knots of the week away. My stiff neck softens up a bit. My shoulders and upper back respond. Time passes as the fingers knead and knead and knead. My eyes close. Next up is my ...

    • There is music. Soft and tinkling streams meandering in a forest. If I shut my eyes I can almost be there. The interrupting sound of my breath through my nose makes me open my eyes. I bend. I stretch. I snap in two, almost. I hold it. The minutes pass me by. The class is over far too soon. I stumble home in the dark, avoiding sneaky cars with a spring in my step. There isn't any music.

Comments I've Written

  • I don't watch TV anymore

    My solution is simple... No TV. I get so much more done without watching TV. We have a TV set, and a few free digital channels, but I only watch TV series of DVDs that we rent.

  • Brrrr

    That short short story made me shiver! Love it!

  • Mercy: a response

    I give you no mercy, you're the same as me - a picture torn apart in pain
