Reflections From the Reaper’s Scythe

Life, of late, runs rampant, oh so fraught Drama, danger, fire, medical emergency Reflected flickers, moments briefly caught Shine on the Reaper’s scythe for all to see Death and life are natural, have no doubt Whisper in our ears, if we will only listen Often, we don’t hear them, so they shout Look, here, hope […]

What Matters?

“You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”  Itzhak Perlman Are you unemployed, underemployed, overemployed or work for multiple employers?

Waiting, Just Waiting

Life has been challenging of late and I haven’t been posting as often as would like. First, an elderly relative with a cracked femur, which is still sorting itself out.

Serial Friday ~ Arcadian Journey

Chapter Thirteen The night screamed outside, raw and ugly, and they were quickly soaked to the skin and cold. Stavo knew he should turn back, gather their harps and wait out the storm, but his anger prevented him. He turned his shoulder into the wind and shielded Luus as best he could. Carrying his injured […]

Remember, Remember the Eleventh of September and So Much More
