Ascension

Sometimes while sinking, we must reach the very bottom before we can start our ascent back into the light. This is the journey I am beginning...

Platform

Here is my latest poetic creation for you to enjoy, or not... "Platform" Slow paces move : one forward / Wipe the eyes : smear the face / They wouldn't recognize : rigid features / Live on a platform : to exhibit life / Passersby never : an audience make / Movements- ever slight : do not garner glances / Stars go out : the silence shudders / Live in the rain : to melt away / ~Jeremy Hill *Live is used as a verb, not an adjective. **The system would not allow me to use my regular display, so (:) means end of a line and (/) means end of a stanza. There is no punctuation except after the word "Movements".

Suddenly nothing's changed...

So I guess I am not moving for now. Funny how some things change direction on you when you least expect them to. I've decided, however, that this is a good thing. Normally, I let the change around me dictate how I react to my life. I am now reevaluting this stance. I think my lesson this time around (there is always a lesson) is to make the changes happen from within, not from without. It is a little frightening to step outside of the comfort zone I have built around myself (I think I have added on too much in the last couple of years). But it is exciting to think of what adventures may lie just out my front door...

Rebirth of SLiCk

I've recently had a number of invigorating experiences and time spent with people I enjoy. Maybe it's because it's spring- a time of rebirth, or maybe I'm just sick of nothing eventful happening for me, but I have lately felt a continual urge to uproot from this moldy bed I'm in and frolic with the other mobile creatures. I've started this process of ambulation by looking for a new place to live. That always livens things up for a bit. This move will join the plethora of previous relocations that have all ended with thuds. I'm hoping to find somewhere I will feel comfortable hanging my hat and roommates that will allow me to put that hat back on and go hit the town with them. People are an important part of this balanced existence and I've been malnourished!
