My Plate Is Full

Posted on 24 Jul 201924 Jul 2019 By Dragonfly No Comments on My Plate Is Full
My Plate Is Full

And I love it. I’m back at work again and was so surprised yesterday to have a great talk with the dean in our school and one of the ops managers, who are supporting my academic presentations in early October for the World Summit Ecocity. This event happens every two years in a city around…

A Beautiful Night

A Beautiful Night

It’s weird in today’s world. Sometimes you don’t know your neighbors too well. We’ve lived in our current house for about four years, and have had some waves and hellos to neighbors but have never gotten to know any of them. However, lately, my husband–and not just lately, but for several months–has been walking to…

Things

I apologize for the lack of blogging lately. I’ve had a wee bit of time off work again and have had time to relax, write, think, and, of course watch and read various stories. Another bullet list of things: As my close friends know, I’m a nerd, so enjoy the occasional video game. Nearly 15…

Word Association and Thoughts

Posted on 9 Mar 201913 Mar 2019 By Dragonfly No Comments on Word Association and Thoughts
Word Association and Thoughts

Here’s a fun exercise for memoir writers. It’s journal-writing combined with word association. This is not “add a new associated word” but write an idea about what this word or phrase means right now. During a cold winter night, as I’m trying to renew myself from a days-long flu bug, I look forward to next…

In Remembrance of Mary Oliver

Posted on 19 Jan 201923 Feb 2019 By Dragonfly 1 Comment on In Remembrance of Mary Oliver
In Remembrance of Mary Oliver

So many poets and novelists have led me to where I am at today. Especially those who remember nature and write words that you wish you could write. They write words that you can grab and wrap around you. They write words that bring you into the love of forests, rivers, mountains, lakes, oceans, deserts,…

2019 – Wishes and Dreams

Posted on 14 Jan 201923 Feb 2019 By Dragonfly No Comments on 2019 – Wishes and Dreams
2019 – Wishes and Dreams

Unlike the rest of Canada, we haven’t seen a bit of snow except for up in the mountains. It has rained a lot, barely dipping below freezing. My sage and thyme on the balcony are still alive from last summer. The past few days have been chilly but full of sunshine, a nice break from…

Wild Mountain

Posted on 22 Oct 2018 By Dragonfly No Comments on Wild Mountain
Wild Mountain

I want to see mountains again, Gandalf, mountains, and then find somewhere where I can rest. In peace and quiet, without a lot of relatives prying around, and a string of confounded visitors hanging on the bell. I might find somewhere where I can finish my book. I have thought of a nice ending for…

As Autumn Begins

Posted on 20 Sep 201823 Feb 2019 By Dragonfly No Comments on As Autumn Begins
As Autumn Begins

In two days we celebrate the autumnal equinox. Almanac.com lists lists some traditions: At Machu Picchu in Peru, an ancient stone monument called Intihuatana—which means “Hitching Post of the Sun”—serves as a solar clock to mark the dates of the equinoxes and solstices. In Mexico, the Mayans built a giant pyramid called Chichen Itza. On the equinoxes, it looks as if…

As the Summer Ends

As the Summer Ends

I have been so extremely busy that I haven’t had time to really write at all lately. But I have been moved to explode my thoughts onto paper, or in this case, the computer. However, term start on campus leaves me little time to do much else than breathe when I have a chance. In…

Dragonfly Summer

Dragonfly Summer

I can’t believe how beautiful it is this time of year. We have had perfect weather, though warmer than usual. Last night when we were getting ready for bed, we smelled wildfires from up north. It is so dry I have had some green beans outside drying for a few days so I can freeze…
