The Natural World (Short Story) - 2/2/2024 3:03:58 PM
Very succinctly, but accurately described. Life has been found thriving in some of the most inhospitable places on the planet. But this life is not human. For us to think we are in charge of this planet, it took millions of years, perhaps as much as 2 billion and the major die off during the Jurassic period. That die off made mammals the dominant species on the Earth and us rather than the dinosaurs who would have never allowed us even one little niche to evolve into.
But the story up until we humans and our bungling stewardship of the earth, has all been very good, as you stated, creating a richer and more diverse biosphere with every evolving creature. We are like children destroying our nest while thinking we are doing good. Based on where we are going, it will take millions of years for the life that comes after to clean up our mess.

A short, not so sweet love story. (Short Story) - 3/13/2008 6:52:54 PM
All the heartbreak, heartache, anguish that lies beneath shows one incapable of forgiving one's self for the deeds of another. The guilt must be set aside to fullfill one's own quest in life. Guild is crippling and only leaves dispair. Be strong, see the light and you will learn to freely love another again. Relish in what CAN be changed and all else pack away, for all of life's experiences make us what we are at the moment.... All in all a well told story....
Be always safe,
Karen
Dark vs light (Article) - 11/28/2015 11:33:58 AM
Fortunately, I do not wake up every morning fighting battles between good and evil. My philosophy includes accepting many things that some people consider evil as rather normal and benign behavior. Once one is able to do that without being influenced by others who may claim certain things are evil or not, it is much easier to live a life free from strife and on a more even keel by avoiding their preaching.

So, we are thin-skinned and we get our feelings hurt too easily ... and that is what makes us into writers! Come to think of it -- we would not have it any other way. Write on!

Goodby to addicts! (Article) - 12/26/2006 2:10:17 AM
Deep feeling here, Sandi, and well expressed. I think it is very appropriate for you to withdraw from your attempts to nurture drug addicts. Someone once said (it might have been Jesus) "I love you but I don't like what you do." This statement sets up an adult frame for viewing an addict, instead of the parental frame where you try to nurture them. Nurturing only works when the food you offer is what the child seeks - all else will be rejected. My organization interacts with convicted criminals in jails, prisons, and juvenile detention facilities. We have found that about 80% of them are (or were and will be again) drug addicts. Everything from marijuana to heroin to crack and methamphetamine. The drugs provide them with a "world" where they can be high and empowered and happy - as opposed to living in their sober "normal" selves which are depressed, afraid, self-damaging and awful. The use of drugs makes their "normal" life even worse, as they lose family and friends, and their perceived need for the release of drugs increases. These people live in a speedily descending spiral. And they are very seldom looking to be rehabilitated; they are looking for drugs. You found that you have nothing to offer them because they were looking for right-now euphoria rather than someday salvation. Dave Harm expressed it perfectly, I think. He made his own personal decision (12 years ago) to be sober, and he still makes that decision every day. Your essay is well expressed as a stated closure on a bad situation. Well done.

Good advice and common sense.
The world is in short supply of common sense.
I don't have much patience with people who screw up their lives and then expect to be rehabilitated with charity, only to screw up again and again and again. Anyone who would waste their lives on something that has no redeeming value, can stay in their gutter. The rest of us have a life to live and being another crutch for those who can't hold themselves together isn't my idea of common sense.
Best,
Elizabeth
Goodby to addicts! (Article) - 4/8/2006 8:52:09 AM
Excellent letter... as an addict, I know how easily it is to manipulate the ones you "love" into your addiction and fantasy world.
In recovery, bridges still haven't been rebuilt even though I've been sober for close to 12 years. I hold no bitterness nor anger - I do understand their uncertainty. But someday, in God's time, we will be reunited and I can wait. The only thing I can do is be clean and sober, when that time comes.
For every co-dependent, don't think about it, don't believe the stories - run! It's your life and health that you should be concerned with - not theirs. They made their choice - now it's time to make yours...

Consultants have started to fight back against the white supremacist billionaires who have taken over our government and now make it run their way, like a money making business for them. I hope the movement grows like wildfire across the country and the good people of this country will no longer stand for it.
Besides protesting vehemently, we need young people to enter politics on the right side of history and we need to vote for the best people, not the ones with the high-powered accusatory ads, into office.

The mob (Poetry) - 1/26/2026 10:29:36 AM
There's something about the mob mentality. It happens when otherwise peaceful, normal people, suddenly become violent and angry, doing awful things. Afterward, many regret what they had done.
Your poem warns us how easy it is to fall in with the mob.
Following from the teachings of Gandhi, I just saw a documentary on Martin Luther King. He had the uncanny ability to keep his protesters from becoming an angry mob. He taught them how to to retreat and/or retain a positive attitude when being set upon and beaten by angry mobs. It was a strength, brought on by numbers of peaceful people, that changed the attitude of the United States for the better.
We dare not fall back into that kind of hatre again. History must march forward, not backward.

The Agony and the anger (Poetry) - 4/8/2025 9:18:59 AM
A very emotionally-stirring composition. I've always believed that patience is one of the most valuable skills and effective strategies for achieving anything at all that anyone can practice. But as LIFE'S DISAPPOINTMENTS demonstrate, developing it can be very challenging. Enjoyed the read.
The Agony and the anger (Poetry) - 5/30/2024 2:42:04 PM
A great parallel to the book of the title: Agony and Ecstasy, a book, I sadly did not read but was told about by my twin brother, who has read much more than me.
You made me grateful that I don't have any children. When they don't grow up the way that we had hoped, it can make us really sad and disappointed. Just like some of those that I've taken under my wing from time to time who never even thanked me for my help. There's a lot of "me-ness" in society as a whole, largely brought about by entitlement that really isn't.
And yes, we have to be very patient. Sometimes, having to leave someone you love to suffer on their own until they realize that no one can pull them up from4 where they are by blaming, but only by their own bootstraps. That realization comes very late for some and not at all for others. I hope the former for your daughter.
Thanks for sharing your frustration in this poem.

Invasion #2 (Poetry) - 2/3/2024 10:01:20 AM
I would put this more in the horror genre. But it is the kind of action thriller that gets the attention of audiences these days in novels and movies.
Like our bad dreams, thinking about creatures familiar, but distant, like dragons or dinosaurs, caters to our fears that we are inadequate to protect ourselves from the unknown.
But most scientists would agree with me. Any life form that could travel the vast distance between the stars and arrive here at our planet where they could easily observe us, would find us quite primitive to observe and not harm in any way.

A parents lament (Poetry) - 2/11/2020 10:15:28 AM
A heartrending exposé of what faces parents of a mentally ill child. Why I am in favor of learning, early on, if there is a genetic defect in the fetus and freely giving that information clearly to the mother so that she can decide whether she would wish to have that child with the diagnosed fault as her offspring that she will have to nurture until reaching independence and adulthood. A challenging enough role during these rapidly changing times without having to be confronted with genetically caused mental illness, too.
Gene therapy will arrive much quicker if we allow this information to be gathered.

I'm so sorry to learn about what's happening in your life. I hope it will turn out for the better. I know, being a mother, we always love and support our children no matter what. There is no failure on your part, because mothers aren't simply born to know everything. We learn a little more about motherhood everyday, and solve problems that are within our best abilities for our children. Your best bet may be to encourage your children to take up a kind of hobby that they like, learn an art or simply do something that they have interest in doing so they can develop their new individuality. I will be praying for you.

It is this self we need to be of any help at all, and we don't take care of it- thinking it is not us who is important or deserve help.

A parental lament (Poetry) - 12/24/2013 1:49:09 AM
Dear Sandy, Great poetic expression! If we are looking for answers to life we must continually be looking up. I recall many a sermon in my home town church being concluded with the statement, "It's a mystery of faith." So what does that mean? It means to me that we must look beyond our seemingly failures and see success within. It's the mentally ill child who displays the most love that's a mystery. It's the kid who is addicted to drugs who one day in the future hears the prayers of his family and turns his life around and helps other addicts do the same. I have seen crack addicts turn to Jesus and never look back. Truth is stranger than fiction in the spiritual world. It's a world that we probably will never fully understand. But God NEVER ask us to have logic and understand His Word. He ask that we have faith of a mustard seed and love Him with all of our mind, all of our heart and all of our soul. That's IS a mystery to me. But it's the only thing that works. Believe me, I know because I was blind and now I can see.
Amen and have a Very Merry Christmas!

Well the news is good, no metastisis noted in lymph glands, and the surgeon believes she got all of the tumor.

You have said quite a piece here Sandi. Everything you said in your verses here has meaning. But what I liked most about this poem are these lines;
"In God I trust, in government I suspect,
in man I watch and wait.
In hope, love, and chocolate, and my family
I have unfailing belief"
There are not truer words than these. I hope your otherwise sad day is much brighter after writing these words. Thank you for sharing.

reflections on life (Poetry) - 10/19/2010 10:18:51 AM
Sometimes our lives are dictated by others when we are children. When that happens, the tears of the soul will never stop, and the scars will never heal. When a mother grabs a hold of your heart and clenches it tightly, you just feel like you are going to die, but yet you carry on for some unknown reason.
Is this unknown reason a part of God's plan for those of us who have been abused? Is it our lot in life to suffer in the flesh to be taken home one day and live in peace with our Father God and our brother Jesus?
Whatever it is, the wisdom of this piece is definitely hard for some of us to follow. You know it is strange though. I can counsel others and help heal their suffering, but I cannot heal my own soul. I wonder why that is? Don Williams said it best in his song Some Broken Hearts Never Mend.
"Some broken hearts never mend,
some memories never end,
some tears will never dry,
my love for you will never die."
My love for my mother will never end, but my heart will never mend and my bittersweet memories will never end because they bring the tears that will never dry.
You give very wise advice here Sandi, but it is so hard for some of us to follow.
May the Lord Bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and walk by your side. With love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister Barbie.

Oh hun I have so much to say! I am a nurse who deals with emotional stuff every day!

It's an interesting subject for poetry and I wonder if you would be interested in writing a piece from a closer distance and by appealing to the senses. I have the impression that there would be so much to learn, in poetic form, from the particular experience and emotions of a nurse.

I was always an adrenaline junkie, always hurt too. That is until I met Alan. I am safe, secure and starry eyed too. You CAN have it all. However, if I personally could only have one, I'd take safe and secure. JMHO. You're a real beauty, God's perfect Gem.
Love you, Janet xx

So much has changed over the years, but an adrenaline junkie I think I will always be as I know God is always there...
Be always safe,

Your writing style is so personal and so daring. That's what I like. No frills, just a heart laid bare so the rest of us can feel more deeply about life. God hears and uses prayers and poems like these.

Once again Sandi, you have put some of the deepest human experiences into very memorable words. You have a very special gift, and I do so treasure your way of speaking.
Keep on blessing us all with your gift, and may God be with you. ~Z
