9:47 pm. Smoking a cig on a 15 min break. It's coldish, spring not yet settled in though the calendar says it's April 29. As I shiver I'm reminded of the parabol of the night watchman. When faced with the cold he was taught to imagine sitting by a warm fire. To visualize it, to [...]
Stacks and stacks of drafts, the delete key is not far away
So I write. Some times in notes. Sometimes here. But a great many remain in the unfinished, unpublishable category of things. Drafts. Digital vapour that so easily finds the delete key. But even then, it's not the whole truth. Truth is many remain in my mind. A script of the day. The running dialogue of [...]
Fear of doing
I've allowed myself to become intimidated by the work of others. I don't measure up in comparison to the successful. Semi professional at best. No natural gift there like the greats. Just common.

Hair style
3 sides, 5 top, or so the hairdresser said when she readied the razor. I'm never really sure what I want done, so I just sort of let the stylists decide. Trust in their professionalism is my thinking, and what I describe to whatever random cutter I get when I walk-in. "Just do whatever you [...]
