Weekly Photo Challenge: Door

by

I have pounded on some mighty doors and been locked out of others. I’ve even kicked a few in.

I can literally see my hand, in my mind’s eye, turn the knob. Some were doors to unknown opportunity and healing and possibility. There were other doors that I closed in order to care for myself better; doors to negative places that I outgrew as I knew more.

The best doors are the ones that are left wild open all the time; the door that welcomes us home, the door to “higher” learning.

The Thing About Horses and Healing: a Memoir.

by

We see them from the road and use phones to take photos. We keep a legal distance but most of us have seen neglected horses and reported them to authorities… or been haunted, wishing we had. The photos are long distance and slightly out of focus, just like this one. It’s easy to see ribs … Read more

Tomboy appointed herself my personal bodyguard when she was a tiny pup and has done a flawless job of guarding and herding me for … Read more

Weekly Photo Challenge: "ROY G. BIV."

by

Infinity Pond

“ROY G. BIV.” is a lousy acronym for the colors of the rainbow. Who ever thought this was a clever way to humanize, and by that I mean insult, Mother Nature, should be ashamed.

The sunset over our pond makes mere rainbows look puny. I hope it stays just this strong as a power company begins to run its power-lines across the property just to the west of us. Soon this view will be striped with wires and poles.

We were barely an intersection in the road when I moved here but there’s been so much growth since then. You certainly couldn’t call it improvement; just one more step in a long, destructive history of trying to dominate nature.

Humans are idiots.
