Finding Time


Why is it that we make time for everyone but the one we love the most? And why is it we accuse them of the same thing, when it is all really just relative?

Our calendars fill up and our lives unfold but we fly through time and events without the littlest thought. It seems that when I talk to anyone couples, friends, and families, it is the same complaint. I can’t believe February is half over. Time is flying. I am so busy. My so-and-so is so busy.

How are we to cope? Should I slow down my life, but then would I loose myself in this relationship or my identity? Should I pencil in my loved one? Or maybe set up recurring weekly event in my iPad; so at least the relationship will have scheduled face time.

If I knew the answer (which I wish I did) I suppose I would not be pondering this right now.

So for Valentines Day, perhaps we could pencil our loved ones in or better yet enter it in iPad (we might be more willing to stick with it, pencil is erasable, you know).

view from a coffee shop downtown


Busy people
People walking
Sidewalk sounds
Shuffle shuffle
Click and clack
Shuffle shuffle
This and that

Whispers yelling
Cell phones singing
Keyboards clacking
This and that

Busy people
People walking
Pavement pungent
Coffee sloshing
Cigs are smoking
Street food sellers
Of this and that

Busy people
People walking
Busy people
This and that.

The weather leaves me so unsatisfied.


What is about the weather that leaves me so unsatisfied?  Leaves me wanting more...  In Autumn I cannot wait for the holidays and the winter chill with snow capped mountains.  In the winter, I miss dogwood blooming and tree-lined streets fresh and flush with just birthed greens. But then the spring seems to make me fantasize about the beach and long walks on sand that slightly scorches. However in the summer, I buy knee high boots and dream of placing them with the perfect scarf.
So I guess I will never be happy and in New England I must stay. Because one thing about the weather here, is that it must always change.
