We Are Evil And Divine

I need not venture outside of my mind for these things, for why would I wish to leave the livid, fanciful colors and architecture that I have created?

Waiting Room Plants

The plants in my living room make me feel as if I am in a medical waiting room - like I'm perpetually waiting for something and I haven't the faintest idea what that something may be.

I Can't Find Meaning

As I was sitting in the hallway waiting to register for my mini-session classes, Our Lady Peace's Is Anybody Home? started playing and I suddenly felt as if I was sinking through the floor.

Defeatest

I'm always afraid of getting excited about something for fear of it not working out.

Time Management

How ironic is it that I took a job at a bookshop so that I could have money to buy books that I now do not have time to read because of the job that I took to buy the books in the first place?

American Priorities

I cannot understand why America, one of the richest countries in the world, cannot afford to take care of the medical needs of its people.

For Where Have They Gone?

The fear of misplaced thoughts is the driving force behind my fervent obsession with writing.

Bewitched

Only in the 60's would they show a pregnant woman drinking martinis on television.

Ever So Slightly

There are times, when he is away at practice, I can feel the house move.

Shallow Water

I have been dreaming almost every night about walking in shallow water - be it low tide at the ocean or through a stream - and I wonder what that means.

Transient Moral Debate

As I was falling asleep last night, I thought of the entry that I wanted for the next day but as I made my best effort to commit it to memory, I knew it would be futile, if not entirely against the spirit of the blog.

Dweller on the Threshold

I'm starting to get comfortable at work and that often seems to be the precursor of something dramatic.

Current Events

After being on the phone with my mother for almost two hours, I realized that the void between our respective views of the world is wider than I had previously imagined.

Peter Pan

Not even peanut butter is safe anymore.

REM

My dreams are starting to feel more like reality and the edges of reality are starting to dissolve like sugar into hot tea.

Mother Cloning

When I expressed concern over turning into my mother at some point in my life, my cousin oh so articulately pointed out, "You don't have to worry about it, because you're far too Sarah," I suddenly felt as if sleep would not be avoiding me any longer.

Unnerving

Coming into an unlocked house is particularly frightening when you realize that you have to deal with whatever you find behind that door all by yourself - alone.

Distance

The most helpless feeling comes from not being able to physically be there for someone when they are in need because despite all of the good that can come from text-only communication, it falls sharply short of a real hug.

All The Wrong Reasons

Sometimes I feel like the only reason why certain people in my life love me is because of the things that I can do for them.

Asleep

Happiness is looking around your living room and realizing that everyone is sleeping peacefully in your presence.

Dinner And A Movie

It's quite spectacular how such a stereotypical evening (in theory) can make you feel so much closer to someone that you've known for years, but, perhaps, every truly known until now.

Visitation

To have awoken on this morning to find that Spring has come to visit me brings my spirit aloft and fills it with hope.

Battle or Such Is His Gift To Me

At the end of a day filled with wonderful activities that which fought to keep my mind in the present and away from the abyss, his final smile and words, "Birthday Girl!" were enough to carry me through the night on the wings of hope.

Does It Make Things Any More Real?

Why is it that I often find myself back at this page of my own creation, staring at the words that I've strung together, struggling to ground myself in their supposed meaning?

Birthday

With every passing year my birthday feels increasingly less real.

Frostbitten Flowers

I always feel badly for the flora here because due to the craziness that is Wilmington weather they never know when Spring is truly here, and when it is only Winter masquerading as Spring.

Hugs

A wise woman once said, "The internet is ineffective when it comes to conveying hugs," and sadly, she could not be more correct.

Colors

Here's a cheery thought: imagine the day that we look through our telescopes and discover that our red shift has gone blue.
