Exclusivity


Isn’t it sad how we’re being constantly bombarded by calls to exclusivity – to be elite – to be special – to be one of the FEW… It really annoys me – hence the following rant:

Can we all stop posting stupid facebook/tumblr/pinterest posts like: 32 Things only fans of ______ will understand   —  12  Things only True Disney fans will find funny —- 16 Things only _____ type of people will get…. UGH…. Please – STOP.   Why this constant need to feel special?  Why the constant cry for validation?

 

Oh and don’t get me started on these things that keep popping up on Facebook – going viral —  Pictures of disabled girls/boys with the call to re-post – ignore if you have no heart…   did you ever think that may be considered bullying – maybe the rest of us just don’t want to be pushed around…

That Familiar Ache


I can feel it again… that tightness in my chest…

the tears, the throat so tight I cannot swallow.

Grief fills my lungs with cries I will not utter.

I feel the pull… the desire to be “ok”

the desire to bury this pain and pretend

that I am not in agony…

I feel it again… this drowning

all-consuming tidal wave swelling

toward me… so much pain… and I stand

on the open beach… arms out-stretched…

do your worst.

I thought this was lovely and dark and I thought I would share it with you… I love reading good prose that is not afraid to get in touch with anger/pain/longing…

Beauty in Winter


I took a short hike yesterday at a swamp board-walk called Grand Bay.  I thought I would share some photos with you.  I hope you enjoy them.
