in a strange city
both sitting at the bus stop
hoping that one’s home

Back Before Supper
my face lay against the sweltering rock
with one side toward the sun kisses
clouds above me stream along
shapes and sizes I make
a tickle breeze keeps me away from biting flies
my knee is skinned and bleeding a little
is it supper time
as a whistle blows
cars scurry home like ants
wait…is that a plane
then we jump
from the rocket-like stone
twist our ankles to the ouch side in
wince and run the whole field in one burst
we reach that one spot and act like kings for a summer second
looking down on the kingdom
running into battle against invisible soldiers
to break through to reach home
where there’s a bush with some berries
by the picket fence and an ant hill
I ate five
you a handful
back then…
back before supper
Earth to Ash Episode # 46 – Something’s A “Mist”
Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.
In this episode, I’m on my first feel-good Spring walk smiling like something’s a “mist.” Like today’s beautiful damp grey foggy day as Mother Nature starts to clean up after winter. I can relate to days like this, have a listen as I will tell you how. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.
Enjoy!!

Earth to Ash Podcast Episode # 44 – Feb Up With Winter
Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.
In this episode, I’m on a walk being “feb” up with winter. But the one thing that being out in the elements does for me is make me think about the journey. The journey in life toward something special. We still have a long way to go, but don’t forget to turn around sometimes to see how far we’ve already come. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.
Enjoy!!

Turn Around and Let Me See You
I cannot believe that it’s you
you’re different
you seemed just like me up to a point
now you’re someone else… but not you
I think that and I don’t want to
your life is a sweet story and I have some of those pages
I would love to share them with you if you have the time
the real you
the one in my thoughts
my memories
my dreams
we are still connected you know
and I feel you sometimes
it might be a random smile I get
or a warm feeling all over
you too I bet
that’s the universe saving us for another day
storing our true feelings for each other
where nobody else can find them
I know that and I know that you know that
so, until another day
Earth to Ash Podcast Episode # 43 – I Was Not Fit
Welcome back, join me and my continuing conversation about my thoughts, feelings, and emotions to the world around me.
In this episode, I’m driving toward the city on an errand while shifting my motivational thinking into high gear. We’re all capable of falling behind with the important things in our lives, and physical fitness is no different. Keep fitness a part of your life, and your life will never feel apart from you. And, as always, I throw in a poem for good measure.
Enjoy!!
