It’s funny, I had a dream last night and while I can’t remember much of it, I remember a part of it where I was cleaning the dirt off a load of patio tiles, disposing of weeds and dirt, and revealing patterns etched into the tiles themselves.

It’s National Poetry Month this month, and Camp National Novel Writing Month, so I decided I’d try to write a poem each day for the month of April.
If I achieve it, I’ll create a book at the end of it and hopefully get it published, with proceeds going to a chosen charity. … More National Poetry Month: Poem of the Day

I’m starting up a weekly blog all about ‘weekly reflections’, talking about subjects that inspire me, drive my thoughts and emotions, and hopefully give a place for others to reflect too. … More Weekly Reflections: A Note on Happiness
I’ve been watching and reading the news for the past several days, and I’m shocked and extremely saddened by the situation in Afghanistan. … More Poem of the Week: Freedom
Well, I’m not entirely sure where today’s weekly poem came from, but I blame the theme on the fact that I’ve been lighting candles in the room while I’ve been working the last few days… so maybe that’s it. … More Poem of the Week: Oh Flame, Oh Fire
It’s Blogger Day today, and I wanted to write about the things that I think were so important for me when starting this blog. I technically set it up a number of years ago, but it’s only in the last 10 months that I’ve properly been writing weekly for it. … More Super Seven Tips: Starting a Blog
