The Cricket's Umbrella: February 2012
http://poetrycricket23.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
A little of everything along the way. This journey we call . Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; its about learning to dance in the rain." Karen Willis. Sunday, February 12, 2012. Have you ever wondered about the profound difference between laundromats and bars? I mean other than the obvious of course. Hear me out. Windows. Windows tell us so much. Bars typically have few or no windows and are dimly lit. Laundromats almost always have at least one wall that is all glass and are brightly lit.

The Cricket's Umbrella: Fish in a Tree

A little of everything along the way. This journey we call . Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; its about learning to dance in the rain." Karen Willis. Sunday, October 27, 2013. Fish in a Tree. I am saddened at how long since I tried to write, but accept that the chaos of life too often deters us from the path we thought we wanted. There is a sign in a window on the campus I work at that simply says "Scatter Joy." Every time I pass it I smile. I am still the woman he loved and the best gift ...

The Cricket's Umbrella: Neglect begets

A little of everything along the way. This journey we call . Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; its about learning to dance in the rain." Karen Willis. Wednesday, May 14, 2014. Never-to-be’s stunted spiritual growth in excessive demand by the resentful at the bottom of the stairs. This is the communal journey against the lie of history-father, of bitterness. How do we explain away stealing the voices of angels from children long blinded by the hopeless. Angel on the edge of wing-spread.

The Cricket's Umbrella: March 2012
http://poetrycricket23.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
A little of everything along the way. This journey we call . Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; its about learning to dance in the rain." Karen Willis. Saturday, March 10, 2012. Alone with a paper airplane. Outside my apartment and across the street is a community center and playground, with a big tree spreading it's branches across one entire corner of the basketball court. I went out today and noticed one child in a red coat braving the cold wind and snow to play. My goal this month is now...

A little of everything along the way. This journey we call . Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; its about learning to dance in the rain." Karen Willis. Saturday, October 9, 2010. My pain, my amazement, my very smallness, overwhelm me. At moments in life, not always significant; at least not at the time. But what can we know of greatness when the oak is still an acorn? Did Einstein’s mother neglect her right to irritation. Knowing that he would expand E=Mc2 from the wall to cosmic proportion?
