Confessions of Bliss: October 2009
http://confessionsofbliss.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 28, 2009. I recently came across a picture of a Stone Age flute carved from the bone of a griffon vulture. It was eight and half inches long, had 4 finger holes with the end carved in a V shape to fit the primitive musician’s mouth. It was estimated to be 35,000 years old and was found alongside a carving of a voluptuous female nude statuette dating from the same period. Tuesday, October 13, 2009. The Struggle For Happiness. In between my moments of ecstatic bliss, I often find myself ...

Confessions of Bliss: An English Day on a Western Plain
http://confessionsofbliss.blogspot.com/2009/12/english-day-on-western-plain.html
Friday, December 18, 2009. An English Day on a Western Plain. Fog has quietly crept in,. A stranger from another land. Hangs in heavy stillness. On the brown, flat plain. Bearing tales of English hills,. Green grass and purple heather. To tumbleweed and thistle thorn. Quaffing the cracked parchment. Only my breath moves this quietude,. A vapor of lingering curls. Whispering of bog fires and gentlewomen. Who put mittened hands to heavy paper. And penned the mists. Of their minds,. View my complete profile.

Confessions of Bliss: NOVEMBER
http://confessionsofbliss.blogspot.com/2009/11/november.html
Saturday, November 7, 2009. But somewhere in between. When the year’s first snow. Falls on a November day,. While a few ruddy gold leaves. Still cling to the branches,. Winter’s hush,. Just somewhere in between. I was born in November. I am November’s child. I, too, am neither. You are Novembers blessing,. I am thankful for you. November 18, 2009 at 8:23 AM. I liked this entry on your blog and felt a bit teary at the end line. Poignant! November 22, 2009 at 12:44 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Confessions of Bliss: February 2012
http://confessionsofbliss.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 7, 2012. When I was 12 I said, “I had my first period.”. Now at 52, I say, “I had my last period.”. I don’t know how I feel about it. It’s not like I enjoy menstruating. I hate it. It’s a pain,. An annoyance an inconvenience an expense. When I was 12 I had an innate notion,. A gut feeling, that the fact that I had to menstruate,. And my brothers did not, was deeply unfair,. A grossly lopsided scheme by Almighty decree. I wondered if I really was cursed. So that I could have 3 children,.

Confessions of Bliss: Chronicle of a Morning
http://confessionsofbliss.blogspot.com/2011/05/chronicle-of-morning.html
Saturday, May 21, 2011. Chronicle of a Morning. The hum of shower water is my first indication that a new day has come. In the absence of a babbling brook, or pounding surf –. Shower water will do. There are no longer children climbing on my bed. Pressing their warm cheeks to mine. Smelling of crusty noses and baby’s breath. Scents that make a mother’s heart turn over with unspeakable love. There are no lunches to be made or school buses to catch. Just the comforting sound of my husband in the shower.
