• Sunshine & Showers

    Sunshine and Showers April 1st. The finches are back Birds of Spring Tiny winged bodies Competing briskly For morsels of seeds Encased In funky containers Set up by humans for bird Convenience and human Entertainment The winter birds have left Mostly chickadees More polite and sharing Than the finches So Canadian: I almost heard their…

  • I Love My Fellow Humans

    What’s on my mind, Facebook asks? I am thinking about “God” “Allah” “Our Creator” “Great Spirit” and all other honorable labelling of Whomever created and continues to create, recreate, renovate, and update bits and pieces of our universe and all other universes; suns, moons and stars. I used to believe “God” was male, and then…

  • Anxiety Attacks

    I’m thinking about anxiety and how it manifests itself. A trigger pops up when you least expect it. One minute you’re happy, joking and enjoying the game you’re participating in with people you like. The next minute you’re judging yourself as not being as worthwhile as the next person. Not even as worthwhile as anyone…

  • Choices and Changes

    Guess we triple-dosers are becoming disillusioned upon learning that we are still not completely immune to the Covid 19 virus. But I don’t think we should cast blame upon those brilliant minds who have been valiantly fighting this invading miscroscopic alien creature. The virus was brand new to health science researchers and pretty darn scary…

  • SCHIZOPHRENIA

    I have often wished the general public could understand that schizophrenia is a disease, not a character flaw. And it is not caused by a specific happening in their lives. It can strike anyone, usually a young person whose brain chemical compilation – for whatever reason – becomes disordered. Schizophenia has been categorized as a…

  • Words by Albert Einstein I need to Assimilate

    “I didn’t arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.” “Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no…

  • From THE FAIRIES OF FAIRYOPIA by Doris Ray-

    The Fairy Olympics        Prince Charles flitted and bobbed amongst the yellow flowers and tall grasses, stretching his muscular wings and practicing his moves for the Fairy Olympics that were to begin in Fairyopia in two months time. Charles was aware that he’d have no problem winning most of the medals in the competition. But he…

  • Love In Your eighties, by Phoenix Bee Wolf-Ray (my daughter)

    That was a lovely wedding 🥰 Here are the lyrics to the song I wrote and sang at the ceremony for the adorable (somewhat mature) bride and groom: Love in Your 80s What does it take to find love in your 80sTo open your heart and make a new startWhat do you need to believe…

  • VACCINATION CARD BLUES

    Yesterday was stressful. Spent hours attempting to download and copy our vaccination cards on both mine and George’s computers and then hopefully, print them out. My old Window 7, now a 10, is sometimes reliable but slow. George’s is new and fast but has strange habits. Turned out both computers locked out on us and…

  • TO LEARN OR TO UNLEARN??

    I’m thinking about a response I received years ago from the then manager of Fraser Lake Inn, when I applied for a job as a waitress. I’d had very little experience, but Ray (I think that was his name?) said that was good. He wanted his employees to do the job his way. “It’s far…
