A Dead Woodchuck?

Have no fear this is a happy story.
The other night I took the dog out back. There was a fresh coating of snow, but he and I both saw it immediately. I had that goose bump feeling of a dead thing in the yard, the dog made the feeling worse by making a beeline for it. Then, he refused [...]

Petulance
demands deference
none forethcoming
turns its back
petulance
requires attention
none forthcoming
walks away
petulance
a wooden sword
in splinters on the ground
petulance
on higher pose
as bough breaks

So weird some how I stumbled on this test to tell how you draw near to God, there are several personality types apparently and the site I found also listed writers who are good to read for those who fit a specific style of spirituality.

I was working at my part time job today and this woman came in and I kept looking at her, I knew that I had seen her somewhere but couldn’t place her. I finally told her she looked familar, was she a parent of someone in the city school district. But it turns out she [...]

I swallow it
a pastille of dry ice
so ice cold it burns
I am on fire
I gasp
you turn your head
and regard me
a long slow look
after a few moments
you tell me
that shouldn’t hurt anymore
but it does
I take a breath
you tell me
you deserved that
I take another breath
you tell me
stop being such a baby
I take another breath
you tell me…
I take another [...]

My cat Tuxie is an interesting character to be sure. She is fiercely independent, a tough broad. She stays inside more or less in the winter, but in the summer you cannot keep her in the house. She comes in to eat and goes out again. Although, admittedly, she does sit at the bathroom window [...]

I am reading a book called “The Star Thrower” by Loren Eiseley. It is a lovely book of essays and poems. I like it because I minored in anthropology and the author was an anthropologist and because he writes about the human spirit through the perspective also of a naturalist.his writing style fits my personality [...]

I recently told someone that I had once heard the Unitarian Universalist idea that all religions are inside this house, looking out at God but every religion is looking out a window, and so each one has a different view of God, I told him that I wanted to be on the rooftop.
On Friday as [...]

I love my friends Bill and John and I had dinner with them tonight. It was three and a half hours of laughing. I cannot believe what hideously ugly creatures straight men are sometimes. Really. My new friend C. met us at Mai Lan, we were discussing the idea of dating and she talked about [...]
