It took a lot to get here…car problems and lots of other chaos. (I am tired of being the Chaos Fairy…anyone want to take over the job? LOL!)
What a big mistake it was to take an apartment without seeing it first. It has been a disaster from the start.
Not that I had much of a choice.
Anyway, I’ll stop complaining (well, in here, anyway) for now.
I’m working my way back into my blog-reading duties. At least they are more fun than a lot of other stuff going on right now. Sigh.
In any case, I spent yesterday completing my downsizing tasks…going through most everything I own and making a pile of boxes all over again in hopes of having a yard sale when/if it gets cooler.
I found this little vignette on a piece of paper when I was going through all my stuff. I liked it, even if I wrote it, and if I do say so myself. But maybe that’s because I dreamed it, and one’s dreams are always more interesting to the dreamer than to the people told about it.
Hope things are well with all of you. I missed reading your blogs.
Letter to a Literary Muse
Your time is spent nurturing fans, and I am preoccupied with once and future worlds. I am never in sync, but I see you in each parallel; we touch and go on our way. Constantly inconstant forces in each other’s lives.
But I have never been anytime; born in a thistle maze, kept captive in a briar patch, wandered worlds only in my head, where I dream dreams in Mobius strips: nightmares and fears; misplaced intentions and missed chances; a thousand thousand deaths, countless lost and founds.
This night, I dreamt in Celtic lore, both modern and past, once and future; my mind’s eye’s mirror reflection; dark red hair in cascades, hunter-green Victorian dress, among glass and metal and life-in-a-pod on a strange new world. There is no prickly nest to trap me; to hide me in thorny safety. I am exposed. Alone.
You. You see me. Not a mirror reflection. No haint from a past world. This is the future. Our future. You gently work a twig from my hair, and hold it for an eternity while our worlds dream themselves together.
Willow Croft

Dear Chaos Fairy. I hope you find someone to take over for you. I won’t be applying for the job but I hear that the tooth fairy was looking for some extra work on the side.

Hello!!! Welcome back to the blogosphere! I sure hope things start looking up/going easier. And all I have to say is…the “things you write “vignettes” you write just out of the blue…whoa. I jot random tidbits but they’re never that deep or inspired…or maybe they are, but the other problem is I usually can’t read them because even I can’t decipher my own chicken scratch! lol But even if I could, I know they truly wouldn’t be as poetic as yours!

Oh, I haven’t been able to see Wisconsin yet, sadly. I still have to recoup some financial stability after the big move. Ha! I am very keen on exploring my new area of the country, though!
