My mom sent me this picture a couple of days ago–if you can’t read it, it says “Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above” on top of an image that she c...
On April 25th, 2010, a couple of important things happened. First, I turned 20. Officially, I completed the second decade of my existence, thereby leaving myself with the feeling I’m sure will sound ...
I didn’t sleep much last night. After a near-2AM bedtime, I was awakened at 6:15 to the sound of the walls falling down around me. Thunder storms in Georgia are sort of like the crazy aunt you ...
“I found a place in a leaning tree Over the soft water and the sound of secret things Trembling beneath ribbons of painted pollen Worlds of emergence and deep, gulping life Fluttering gills and...
Underneath my bed, words and pictures are piled up haphazardly, a stockpile of memories and things I could probably throw away. Lying on the floor in my room, I just reached to my right and found my ...
Those are the things that fill my Saturday: good coffee, books to be read, and lots of list-making to keep my brain on target. Admittedly, “write a blog” was not part of the plan, but it ...
This is the current view from where I am sitting at the table in our common room. Amid piles of books, blankets, and pillows, Clair is cat-napping on the couch. She came in from reading in the librar...
Well, I am alive. Six months of nothing for my own darling blog page, and I am making a comeback. I promise I didn’t stop writing. I actually wrote just the same, but elsewhere. If you are inte...
There is a way the world opens up before me sometimes, flowering wildly like the fingers of spring in bare trees, that reminds me I am young, and the world is mine as much as I will take it into...
First, I’d like to acknowledge that April has been skipped. With birthday season and finals all clamoring for attention, I just didn’t manage to make space in the last month-and-a-half to...
Today I have cold feet, and a heart that wanders. Funny how those can be called the same thing and feel completely different. For one, I need socks. For the other, I wish I knew. I have been thinking...
Here is a phrase I say to myself at least once a month: “It is not okay to go a whole month without writing a blog.” Here is a phrase I have said to myself lately: ”CRAP! February&...
I think this is the first year in several that I have not written an official, welcome to the New Year, ending and beginning, goodbye and hello blog entry. It is usually my custom to capture in writi...
The weather outside is not frightful, as of today. I think Georgia annually forgets to fill her normality prescription when it comes to the weather, among other things. We also have people who hang r...
I think it is astounding how the human body remembers. We move through our days, soaking up fragments of life that are meaningful to us, and we don’t even know that they’re still with us ...
“What I have been thinking is that it is much easier to waste time than to spend it. It is easier to watch than to see, easier to hear than to listen, easier to touch just the surfaces of our e...
Recently, I received a Facebook message from a friend which spoke the words my heart has been shouting, “Write Annie.” And so I am. I’m not sure how to begin except to say that life...
Oh, summer.I consider myself officially welcomed into the season. I was not greeted by any calendar date or sanctioned proclamation, but by the slow, steady sliding of life’s rhythms. No longer...
EDIT: How does everyone feel about the new blog face? I felt that, after a year of Perspicacious in green, it was time for something new. Welcome to my world of whirling words. Where to begin? I thin...
