I admit it, I like my privacy.

Joyful Solitude Push open the windows, fling wide the drapes, Let the sunlight flood in on my freedom! I dance in the living room, pirouette in the hall, Take a bow before the two quizzical dogs. Our house is silent, no real noise but my own A keyboard madly clicking, the computer’s soft hum. Today, there is time for ME, me alone with the mutts Tomorrow too, unfettered, unwatched, untasked. Longer than that, well, yes, that might be lonely, But today, oh, today is beyond lovely. Eileen Clemens Granfors, April 2008

My Notes from a Seminar

Our lives measured on the cosmic scale is a rather daunting concept.

The world seems daunting today. Maybe I should devote time to smaller goals?

Hubris, a Haiku

This haiku came to me as we took a walk one day. I have an inkling I will expand it further, having more fun with Turtle's thoughts!
