Calliope's Bar Napkins: On a Case of Pathless Anxiety
http://calliopesbarnapkins.blogspot.com/2010/09/on-case-of-pathless-anxiety_7202.html
A collection of musings. Thursday, September 30, 2010. On a Case of Pathless Anxiety. You could have applied for grad school, clung to the title Student a little longer, put off the inevitable for four, maybe five, more years. But in the end you’re right back here, unsure – afraid – of what is waiting on the other side of the stage. A Catch 22, poor Yossarrian. Nine days until you find out. What about your dreams? Will the world destroy them? Stomp on them like the playground bully? Show, don’t tel...

Calliope's Bar Napkins: August 2010
http://calliopesbarnapkins.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
A collection of musings. Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Sunrise Over an Australian Beach. To the color of wet steel. A shy hint of violet. Gold spreading over the waves. Friday, August 20, 2010. Elephant in the Corner. Do you see the elephant? The spotty gray one. Just standing there,. It is your fault. The thing between us. That we both want to talk about,. But instead we bite our tongues. Till we taste blood. It’s there,. The way they run from you like escaped convicts. It’s there,. As we circle each other.

Calliope's Bar Napkins: Stage Fright
http://calliopesbarnapkins.blogspot.com/2010/09/stage-fright.html
A collection of musings. Wednesday, September 22, 2010. Standing before them, I feel naked. Unseen eyes bore into my flesh like weevils. The flames of embarrassment leap around me. As I stand,. Lashed to an imaginary stake,. I can feel the heat rising through my body. Burning my chest,. In the black abyss of the audience, someone giggles. My stomach flies into my mouth,. Desperate to escape the heat of the foot lights. I open the gate of my clenched teeth to let it escape. My line tumbles out,.

Calliope's Bar Napkins: Horizons
http://calliopesbarnapkins.blogspot.com/2010/09/horizons.html
A collection of musings. Wednesday, September 1, 2010. Jessica sat on the worn, wooden steps of her father’s farmhouse watching the weak November sun as it struggled to burn off the morning fog. She pulled the patchwork quilt tighter around her shoulders. It still smelled of him; sweat and cigarette smoke, sun and dust. It was hard to believe Daddy was gone.

Calliope's Bar Napkins: Resurrection
http://calliopesbarnapkins.blogspot.com/2014/11/resurrection.html
A collection of musings. Friday, November 7, 2014. Not a soul haunted the high street at that ungodly hour. Fog, heavy with the smell of the sea, dripped from the buildings and made the cobbles slick and dangerous. A lamp flickered in the gloom. Two shadows emerged from the close, dragging a heavy burden between them. They paused, the clouds of their ragged breath blending with the fog on that cold night. They listened. A colleague had put him in touch with the Resurrectionists. It had been a simple ...

Calliope's Bar Napkins: July 2010
http://calliopesbarnapkins.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
A collection of musings. Wednesday, July 28, 2010. Monday, July 26, 2010. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Letters to a Friend. You deserve handmade paper. With crimson silk thread curling through the pulp. Heavy enough to support these emotions. But sometimes there is only cheap, lined notebook paper. And an open heart. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Check out more of my work.

Calliope's Bar Napkins: November 2014
http://calliopesbarnapkins.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
A collection of musings. Sunday, November 9, 2014. From Under a Hot Pink Umbrella. Originally I posted this on my blog about living in Japan, but since I think it fits a little better here. I was just so excited to be writing again! You can see the influence of living in Osaka during the rainy season, though. I never really thought about the social interactions that can happen under an umbrella before. From Under a Hot Pink Umbrella. The parks was no on his usual route home. In fact, it was in the op...
