Swing In A Tree: "Summer Games--Mother May I"
http://swinginatree.blogspot.com/2015/06/summer-games-mother-may-i.html
Swing In A Tree. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Summer Games- Mother May I". By three o’clock each day, the temperature climbed to triple digits, bubbling the street and immobilizing all. Birds searched out bird baths, backyard ponds, or lazy sprinklers to find relief from summer’s relentless broil. In our neighborhood, the kids retreated into our home during the hottest part of the day. We pulled out worn decks of cards and played War or Concentration. Clue. The expected response in order to move forward?

Swing In A Tree. Saturday, April 18, 2015. Nose to mother earth. Flowing into her with each drop of rain. Matching my heartbeat to the sky’s percussion. To wind and rain. Drops melt my sorrows away. Purifying me with the holiest of waters. Conducting lightning like a symphony. Waves and waves roll over me. Cleansing me of life’s dust and debris. Links to this post. Friday, April 17, 2015. Rain dancing on a hot July evening. Just before sunset the sky opened. We dashed outside with devilish grins. Between...

Swing In A Tree. Saturday, April 25, 2015. One Toe into Stupid". The road that cuts through our property. Green pulses everywhere. Clouds cap the tallest hills and feather trees with fingers of mist. Raindrops, large and fat, plop against our windshield with unexpected force, but then a few miles further the sun teases through the haze. Next to us, the river runs high in testimony to the heavier rains that soaked the hill country the day before. Rattles the car, he brings us to a complete stop. We’...

Swing In A Tree. Monday, May 18, 2015. 8220;The Play”. She lightens her brown hair. She leaves family, drops friends. He wants her to himself. She quits schools, leaves her job. He cheats and she forgives. He demands exact replicas. She produces an heir and a spare. She learns deceit and lies. He builds and buys a lifestyle. She numbs herself with wine. A mansion filled with regrets. Their marriage is a glossy veneer. Time spent in sun and sand. Their love becomes a mirage. A picture of perfection.

Swing In A Tree. Saturday, April 11, 2015. I want to be like you—. From a suffering world. I want to be like you—. With prayers and smiles. I want to be like you—. Listening to old hurts. With an understanding heart. I want to be like you—. With that single perfect gift. I want to be like you—. With just the right words. I want to be like you—. Celebrating life’s milestones. With thought and care. I want to be like you—. Under the full moon. Links to this post. Friday, April 10, 2015. Links to this post.

Swing In A Tree. Monday, May 25, 2015. 8220;Be Kind”. What a lovely concept, and how sad that I feel the need to prompt myself to give tolerance and understanding when dealing with other people. I often fall short of personal goals, and when I’m stressed and tired, my ability to react with thoughtfulness dwindles to a microscopic mite. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Swing In A Tree: "Bracken"
http://swinginatree.blogspot.com/2015/08/bracken.html
Swing In A Tree. Monday, August 3, 2015. I stood back from the edge. Direct my legs through the harness. The others wait in nonchalance. Diving into deeper darkness. 8220;Test your weight”. I scoot to the ledge. My legs sway free. Butting against the cavern wall. My helmet’s light beam. Into the black void. Suspended in space and time. Make certain the hooks don’t bite my fingers. Above me glimmers a pinprick of light. Shadow embraces me like a long lost lover. It won’t let me fall. Mexican Free tail bats.

Swing In A Tree. Sunday, May 3, 2015. 8220;Gyros with My Heroes”. Yesterday, our anticipation to view Avengers: Age of Ultron. Found us sitting in the theater extra early—the only way to get a good seat. Reality suspended, our world of unrest tucked into the background as we wallowed in mayhem and destruction Hollywood-style. Will their tactic of introducing audiences to the entire League all at once and following up with a Part Two escapade compare to Marvel’s build-up into the Avengers and all of...
