 Thoughts destined to be washed away by the tides of life. |

I've been studying my cover photo for a while now, and it seems to me that it is more than just a photo of what is there that can be seen, more than just three white rocks stacked on a beach. It contains an important question about the future, about what happens long after the photographer has gone. What will happen to our pile of stones when the tide comes in? Will it topple or has the architect built this structure at a safe distance? I don't know what will happen to these words that I stack here on the sand. They may prove safely distant, or they may be swallowed up by a rush of self-doubt. They may be here for a season. They may lose their balance and be scattered by the shoreline, or be hidden away under shifting sands. Perhaps someday, the tides of life will reclaim them. Or maybe that's just a bunch of poetic, romantic nonsense. After all, this is just a blog. |
| One of my goals this week is to organize my Portfolio. This involves collecting items into folders. However, it is very slow going. One reason for this lack of progress is that I am often unable to determine if an item is a short story or a poem just by its title. I must open each item and read it in order to place it in the correct folder. Then, I just get lost. I opened a short poem this morning and it just stopped me It was a 24 syllable poem based on the word mellifluous.. Monday was my motherās birthday. She passed in 2003. Itās been a long time since I have heard her voice. I find myself Listening in Vain Sweet notes of your voice, now long gone. How my memory tries to echo its mellifluous music. |
