Queen Mimi's so terribly surprised her devotees are trapped in the bubble she blew some seven years ago. She has crossed bridges and tossed pens but her followers are stuck on the same page as back then, condemned to read it over and over again. The message sinks in every time and deadens the sense…

Marion kept clear of the Sleepwalkers. Not all of them tripped and stumbled and fell to the cold concrete to get back up and fall down again. Many of the Sleepwalkers dashed about at an unnatural speed. Fast or slow, Marion became nauseated when a Sleepwalker got too close. She was on a different frequency,…

There was the acid reflux and allergic reaction to casein. A cartilage-deficient left knee and pinched muscles in the small of her back. Karen Rainey was a wreck. But a sacrifice had to be made. Bills don't much care if one's body has turned against her. Karen had no choice but to climb aboard the…

The door closes in on me without warning, but then any seasoned slab of wood knows it's not my keeper. I have to watch for the signs and stay lithe and alert. To jump out of harm's way in order to ascend the many levels of understanding is Job #1. Not much else matters if…

What I do feeds me. HeartBodyMindSoul. Nourished. No siren goes broke.

Warren Peese gave me some really good advice recently. He said (in no particular order): 1. Get your ass out of the past.2. When blurring lines, be sure to keep the work creative and wholly your own, and;3. If you see dancing ducks, flying rabbits, or high-fiving voles in the chaotic data onslaught we're all…
