Thoreau. Trudeau. Waldo.
Wondering where are you?
Trudeau. The funny one. Not
The other one. Theroux. Not
Henry David. The other one.
Ralph Waldo can come with.
Emerson is a decent radio, is
An off-brand, aren't we all?
Where in the world, are y'all?

For an opinionated woman such as I, blogging is an excellent outlet. This is one of many fori that I use to bloviate. Enjoy! Comment on my commentary.

What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?
It's time to explore carry water, chop wood
Do you have the time? A lifetime, I should
Say. We have that to spare. All the time in the
World, time to explore and learn and also the
Time that is just ours, our lifetime that we make
Time for. I may be time obsessed or just take
The time to focus my time, my lifetime, on time.
Are we on time, or are we just spending time?
Take me with
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?
Carry a good book, your cell
Phone, and some cash or a
Credit card. Flash an ID, too
To show just who you think
You are. It is much to carry.
Put it all in a small carry-all.
Do as I say
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?
Changes are harder than stasis
The status quo is quid pro, as is,
And requires no adjustment to
Make changes, big or small, to
Your world or mine. Will what
I say change your mind? That
I cannot guarantee or predict.
Go with your gut, your instinct.
Changes are hard, harder than
Letting it be. I want to make a
Change, but plus ça change is
A formula for things staying as
They are. The retort is "it's the
Same," or plus c'est la meme
Chose. The same but more so.
Bor-ing
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.
Boring, back pages stuff,
Man bites dog. Old hat not
News. Maybe true, maybe
Not. It happened once or
Maybe not. Mrs. Engel got
Married. Again. I think I
Once dated this new Mr.
Out in space
Describe your life in an alternate universe.
It isn't like we are lost.
Space is vast, so we are
Small. Specks really in
Time as well as in space.
Getting lost requires that
We go. Somewhere. We
Do not. Go anywhere that
Is. Out in space, a walk is
More like a fly. No gravity
To maintain our gravitas.
Zipping along, barely able
To take a breath. We have
Adapted to an atmosphere
Here. In space, which is vast.
It isn't like we are lost. Here.
30 Thirty 30
List 30 things that make you happy.
I have stopped punctuating
My text messages. Periods
No longer enclose thoughts
Thoughts run on expecting
Collisions with new thoughts
Avoiding the expectations
Exceeding them Renewing

Describe one habit that brings you joy.
Joyful am I and gratitude fills
My heart with awe and with
Appreciation. It's joyful noises
That I make in a burst of awe.
Applause is how I show my
Appreciation for the grace of
Performance done well and
To the opportunity to witness
Your craft, your skill, the talent
You have brought to turn an
Ordinary day into an art-filled
Joy-filled, heart-hugging event
Curiouser
What are you curious about?
You, you have caught my attention
And piqued my curiosity. What is it
You do? Why are you going so fast?
Is there a race in your mind to which
I remain uninvited? Where is it you go?
Are you in a hurry? Silly question.
You are. Speed slowed automobile
Development. It was a distraction.
Are you distracted? Am I? Why so
Fast when slow will get us there too?

What are you curious about?
As I got older, I was forced to go
Slower, slow can be fast enough
If slow let's us see the trees for
The forest, the forest for what it
Is. Slow down the song advises,
You move too fast, it says. Wise.
The Beatles I think. Wise advice
For the wisdom of age. Time is
To be explored. As we get older
We have less of it and more of it
Too. Curious. Go slow see more
Seymour, you should be more. Be
There soon, or sooner or later. Is
It soon enough to go slow but
Fast enough to see all we need
To see to learn to witness to be.
Slow can be fast enough If slow
Let's you see the forest, the trees
And let's you stop let's you be.
Tamara, really
