“Because GOD gave you the gift of life and life is your avenue to one day be with Him at His calling.” “I personally want to spend the rest of my life with you together, and frankly, I’m not ready to go just yet. So you hang with me.” “Do you ever think of where […]
Eagle Eyes . . .
I sit here and gaze at the bald eagle perched so steadfast in the distance. Watching over the beach with no resistance. Waiting as the tide changes for a succulent delight. And watching as the ghastly souls from afar show their might. The haunting calls not heard by man, make these raptor creatures stand. Their piercing eyesight is […]
Lavender Beauty . . .
The lavender plants dance in the breeze and frolic with the bumble bees as they sneeze. Fragrance drifting here and there, rustling about without a care. Such as nature’s delight in the realm of life, there is none other to relieve your strife. Rest assure all is well, if you don’t believe me take a […]
Be still. Listen to the wind . . .
Be still. Listen to the wind. The sun shines bright. Barren branches grace the sky. The chill is here. The season welcomes you into nature’s world. Delicate ice crystals flee the rising sun gathering in the shadows. Be still. Listen to the wind. It talks to you. Now, just nod and smile. “You are a […]
Getting back with it . . .
It has been quite a while since I have added new writings to this page so I think it is high time to begin. Watch for new musings and thoughts.
The Old Man and the Window
I paused for a few moments from my novel writing and glanced out the window and noticed an old man staring out his bedroom window from the memory care facility next to my house. I must admit, I usually forget (no pun) that it is there most days. His weathered face, lines deeply embedded down […]
Words Forever . . .
“Once upon a time there was a writer and he wrote a book. Then he began to take a second look. He flipped through the pages from beginning to end, remembering the words from way back then. A story had been told and a desire to write another, but when? The writer sat comfortable in […]
Winter’s Chill Arrives in Autumn’s Mist . . .
Be still. Listen to the wind. The sun shines bright. Barren branches grace the sky. The chill is here. The season welcomes you into nature’s world. Delicate ice crystals flee the rising sun gathering in the shadows. Be still. Listen to the wind. It talks to you. Now, just nod and smile. Clear skies and […]
Rainy Days . . . Reflections
I guess I was in one of those somber moods recently while preparing to write my column. Sitting at my desk I looked out the window at the gloomy gray skies and rain. My mind full of plot lines of my current novel in progress, tasks to do and other trite things. My mind shortly […]
Writing . . . Not For The Faint Of Heart
They say you must be thick skinned to be a weatherman. I know from writing a newspaper column for over 23 years you must be also as a writer. Someone will always critique your words and comment. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. After completing my first novel last fall, I entered a whole new realm of feedback from other […]
