Probably most have seen quicksand on tv or the movies, the star falling in and desperately trying to escape before sinking and being gobbled up by the depths of claustrophobia and suffocation. You may have seen it, but I don’t believe most people have ever experienced real quicksand. What a scary notion. Slowly sinking inchContinue reading “Quicksand”

When you were a child did you ever play with bubbles? A little plastic bottle with a delicate plastic wand inside. Dip the wand into the bubble magic concoction, pull it out and then blow into the round opening. Or wave your arm through the air and let the created wind fill the air withContinue reading “Bubbles”

What a mess. What am I talking about? Just look around. Everything. I really try and see the goodness in people, but it is so overshadowed by ugliness that it’s hard to see the light. In 2023 we still have human right atrocities, we still have discrimination, we still have dictators and even wanna beContinue reading “Shake My Head”

I’ve been fascinated with history and the timeline of life as I’ve gotten older and these things make me ponder, do people really think or do we just go through life not thinking at all? In case you don’t know, dinosaurs roamed this planet for approximately 175 MILLION years. They went extinct around 60 millionContinue reading “From There To This”

So, I have talked about walking dead before but I don’t think I’ve touched on this topic before. You know, it’s not rocket science if you just look around and are aware of what’s simply going on around you. Open your eyes and really look.

We get so lost in growing up living like the Jones that we forget who we really are or really could be. As I’veContinue reading “Which Way Is Up”

I recently shared a post on Facebook that I did ten years ago, and the comments were all the same. “Ten years? Where did ten years go? Dang that went fast!” Yes, it does. We spend our childhood just daydreaming and playing. We spend our teenage years thinking we know everything and that nothing willContinue reading “Watch Out Time Will Get You”

Boy oh boy where do I start with this one? l don’t know how to share this so that people will be able to understand and possibly make a change. But I’ll give it my best shot. I am wise enough to know that we grow up the way society is around us. If youContinue reading “Blind Obedience”

As hard as it may seem I am like most people to a degree. I know I know I talk a lot about being aware and that’s just it, being aware also lets me know I’m human. I struggle with my own issues, and I struggle with life’s issues I guess you can say. IContinue reading “Entitlement”

I have been writing for a couple of years now and I have had what I think is a deeper understanding of life around me for many years before that. But I am here to say that I just don’t know. I might have a few intelligent words to say now and then. I mightContinue reading “I Just Don’t Know”
