What is it about the start of a New Year that gives people hope of change? As if, once the previous year ends, the new will be clean and the past can’t hurt us. I am, of course, a victim of this thinking. Or, maybe, it’s just me who thinks like this? I’m not sure. The start of 2013 was pretty good for me. I was happy, I had a boyfriend, I was healthy, and I even met a person, who quickly became my best friend. I thought 2...

I sit here looking at my screen, chatting with friends, tweeting and reading email. I look up and see the setting sun beaming through into my life. I look out the window and watch the setting sun sink slowly into the Pacific Ocean making one of my worlds very dark. My other window is still lit not with sunlight, but with life and the heart light shining from each person. No matter what time it is, there is light and life...

I want to be little again.Back when everything was wondrousand surely magical.All of the magic dissipatesas we age, as we gain knowledge, as our wisdom grows.No more do we wonder,we know.We know why the sky is blue.We know why the grass is green.And we know why grass yellowsand diesin the winter.Science tells us.In a way,that is wondrous,that is magical.But it allows for no further ponderingbecause we know.Although, there...

What will be will be. What will not will not. The past foretells the future. The present is ever lost. Tomorrow we will set out. Tomorrow will send us home. Regrets we have in numbers. Rue the past that's gone. These are merely trifling thoughts. They are never for naught. We'll reach the promised land. Promises will ever be kept. Hold hands until you dream. Hold dear the dreaming time. Let all know your thoughts. Think o...

Thinking of teachings that were presented to me in my youth, I have often wondered if Adam and Eve really did exist and if they did eat from the tree of knowledge? Were they father and mother of all mankind? Knowledge, it is said, is power, why would anyone not want to gain knowledge? Really has anything changed in our society? Adam and Eve were forbidden to partake of the fruit from the tree of knowledge, thus they were...

As I travel through this world of wonders Burrowing into arcana of life, Calling for someone to give me knowledge, Doubting the Word that is pressed upon me, Eventually it becomes so clear For anyone willing to look inside. Give your mind space from simplistic ideas Hucksters feed to us controlling our lives. Inculcating and pandering preachers Just trying to bend us deviously, Keeping us docile and simple and dull, Lacki...

These Agent stories are meant to be read seriallyAlthough Simon had stopped by occasionally over the next couple of months to see me I hadn't received any information as to when I would be re-installed in my new body.But, I wasn't just vegetating. I was learning. I learned subjects I hadn't realized existed and many I did know about but had never studied. One of the most important ones was history, not just the one I thou...

Searching higher ground reason within The last of a kind that cuts confused the skin, Winds that blow ever so strong, fearless icy cold Cold that once was warm so alluring, inviting A blaze, flame tall, colored as the aurora borealis Waves of seductive fire calling one to dance Dance that created music, verses and poems Deep sighs, fast heartbeat, wet lips, release Laughter, tears, thoughts, restless sleep Sleep much need...
