Terminal Panic – Haiku

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!!

Journal Entry # 256 – Weathered

Grey reminds me that I have endured. I have withstood, no matter how raw it has been. How harsh and unforgiving. I look at stormy days as a necessary part of life. A part that teaches you what you are capable of. – Ash

Take a cold hard look, and you’ll feel it. – Ash

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!!
