Time slips idly by me, as if it were some child shushing, hushing and tip-toeing to the balcony's overlook into the living room, early on some Christmas morning the small toes forgetting the intention of the creep by the excitement of taught, reflective wrapping paper. And I sit, thinking simply about how to express my … Continue reading Waiting for the Words (time slippage)

Thinking Inkly: A Little Anxiety and Some Thoughts

I've been … Continue reading Thinking Inkly: A Little Anxiety and Some Thoughts
