A bump on the road…

It's seems to me that there are more bumps on the roads in this past year than in my entire life... It is not true, it only seems like it. I started April with a new sense of clarity after the foggy winter. I pushed too hard. After a week, I was back in the…

K is for Kaleidoscope

As a child, I could spend hours literally looking into this little tube. I would watch everything through it: my toys, the carpet, my parents, my meals, the ground, ants and other creepers. Everything got a re-looking through the kaleidoscope. I wish I could find one now. Maybe I'll go on a hunt. I am looking…

Rediscovering the Mad Hatter

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass Sometimes, I re-read some…

Living with other human beings – a collage

Like I announced in this post The bite marks of fear a week or so ago, I took some time to collage. The most interesting thing about collaging, is that it uses another part of our brain. I grew up in a house where feelings and emotions where not expressed or acknowledge in words. In collaging…

The bite marks of fear

It's been a while since I've done a post on what's going on around and in me. Not that I didn't want to share but I noticed that when I am in an overload of activities, I tend to shut down and just DO, DO, DO. I noticed also that deeper inside there is tremendous…

Hardwood coffin

I've been lying in the bottom of a hardwood coffin For some time Wondering Am I alive? Is my heart still beating? I've come to love the darkness The silence You know it's a lie I pretend Like I always did To live this perfect life There is nothing after No pain, no joy, no…

V as in Victor Victoria

I love movies. Victor Victoria was one the first movie that created a sense of wonder towards musical. I believe it was more about the gender thing. The girl who pretends to be a man who pretends to be a woman to be able to star in a show! Maybe that would explain spending a…

U as in Under the veil

Mind caught up in the web of illusions I walk the path blind Unaware That Hidden under this invisible veil Of resignation Lies A truth Chained on the walls of painful memories I run backwards From a past Not forgotten Hidden under this powerful veil Of lust Smiles A lie With just a glimpse of…

D for DREAMING up until the end

Like many child, I dreamt a lot. Eyes wide open, day and night. I didn’t sleep much. I lived with fairies hidden in flowers and trees; wolves in my closet; pirates under my bed. I dreamt of other parents, other friends, of having brothers to protect me. I grew up and continue to dream. Today…

C as in CAKE for those moments…

Today, let me share with you something very personal, disguised under sweetness and sugar-coating. My kids say that I have a multiple personality disorder and it’s not a joke when they say that. They say other things about my sanity, but that will be for another time. (!!!) With that in mind, you won’t be…
