some dreams

January 12, 2010

I had a rough night last night, did not get much sleep, and so I ended up napping about 4 o’clock. My last dream of the nap was vivid. It was nighttime and a woman (my mother I think) had thrown a baby into the lake. A friend and I stood there on the dock [...]

For awhile now I have been thinking about sending an email to this certain someone and expressing some of my concerns. But I can’t seem to get myself sorted out: am I doing this for her, or am I doing it for me? Am I really concerned about her well-being, or am I just serving [...]

it’s been three years and seven months

December 7, 2009

Of course the title of my post calls to mind Sinead O’Connor’s song, Nothing Compares 2 U, and while her lyrics are not 100% apropos for my thinking about my own life right now, the poignancy of her song accurately pulls the strings of my heart, on this, the 3 year, 7 month anniversary of [...]
