PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Pardon the Silence ... Extended Pause

via here

But ...

via here

The words aren't coming. 
The inspiration isn't flowing. 
The "processing" isn't happening. 
Actually, nothing creative is happening lately. 
I'm in a creative winter. A dry spell. A rut of a new road.

Resources are being reallocated for other vital functions. 
I need to learn the new patterns to start things up again. 
But, until then.

Pardon the silence.

I'll be inspired  ... hopefully.
Eventually.

Photos of the Day: Urban Meditation

Sometimes the City can be an overwhelming sensory blur. In all the rush, you can get stressed out and miss things.

If you slow down, take some time off, and explore on off hours, you can see new things, in places you weren't expecting them.

Quote of the Day

The words the happy say
Are paltry melody
But those the silent feel
Are beautiful

~ Emily Dickinson (n.1750)
