You See Now…

You see now. I didn’t know it would be like this. Who in their right mind would have ever taken it on had they known? I didn’t know the thing would follow me here. I thought I was safe from its nose, always sniffing the wind and watching for movement, any movement. I hid in [...]

Cowboy

Afterwards I was never quite sure how he got in. I mean, I know how he got in, but I never saw him enter. I was alone, and then suddenly I was not, and he there at my elbow. Too close, too swiftly, like an spook. He seemed to change location without need of walking. [...]

Jess

Jess?   I found some pictures. Pictures of you. Not the you I once knew. Gone now, the mass of black curls.

What People Will See

okay, kalei, try this and think about it a bit: every day, take a moment to breathe very deeply. and then reach deep down into yourself- that part of you, you love about you, and just be there for a few moments. every day. deep, loving breathes welling up from the deepest, loveliest, sweetest, strongest, [...]

What Do You Want People to See?

Maggie,   Interesting question to my own question, and I’ll to answer it. What is it that I would like people to see? I guess just me. Not dry, stressed out skin, or makeup, all though I have no problem with make up. I just don’t like it much when it’s what you see when [...]
