So I tossed and turned and scribbled by the lamplight.

“Nonsense! Nonsense! Nonsense!”

Ah, the writer’s plight.

Every story starts with an opening line I tried. It’s going to rain tonight and seven small stories tumbled out.

It’s going to rain tonight. She said she turned from the window to look at me. I couldn’t pay attention when she was like this wanting me to listen. I heard her 1000 times and yet she still said things like that of course it was going to rain we watched the same morning news broadcast. I saw the weather report I knew it was going to rain. I watched the shape of her outlined against the window gray clouds hung low. I couldn’t see it, but I’m sure she nibbled the nail on her left thumb it’s been the same for 13 years. I knew she’d stand there worrying over something that wasn’t worth the effort and I’d sit here waiting. The air snapped and I saw the future waited and low like the gray clouds in the window. I got up, heading for the door. I passed the umbrella hanging and took in the hallway and stepped outside halfway down the block. I felt the first raindrop hit my nose. Yes, it’s going to rain, my dear

ONE

Every story begins with an opening line. I tried: “It’s going to rain tonight.”

And seven worlds tumbled out. Some stayed small. Some went strange. They all came from the same cloud.

These are their shapes.

🌺Hummingbird

Found this one while waiting for the hummingbird to visit. Started reflecting on life and aging. Where does time go?

🌙 Night Hour

I wrote this sitting on my back porch watching evening turn to night.

I hope I was able to catch some of the serenity I felt amidst the comforting chaos of night. ✨

🎂What if a birthday candle desperately wanted to grant you a wish?

This is the story of the birthday candle who cared for a little boy and his dreams.

Next time it’s your birthday,
make a wish.

The absurd is waiting ✨

Blue starry sky with small white stars, ripped paper overlay. Text reads: Time is slippery when you want it to wait. Always a moment too soon or a second too late. But isn’t that fate?

⏳Live every moment.

The absurd is waiting ✨
