Mythos & Marginalia

life notes; flaws and all


a daily breath

  • What are you doing?

    What should you be doing?

    Why are you waiting?

    Now is about as good a time as any.

  • cloud songs

       Waiting, and the wanting, 

    continues… for a day, an event, 

             a possession or possibility. 

    What are we doing, if not waiting 

         for, if not wanting, something 

             to have, to happen, or 

             to hold us accountable?

                Why are we waiting?

  • keeps coming back

    For weeks, it seems, the dandelion has graced our city with its resplendent colour brightening our days. 

    Overnight suddenly, but not unexpected, this prolific weed then takes steps to further spread its joy.

    The here-today-gone-tomorrow presence of the dandelion is a quite remarkable. Despite our efforts to remove the weed from our landscape, it keeps coming back.

    A dandelion is a powerful symbol of the cycle of life as it marks spring and early summer, naturally goes to seed, and keeps coming back. Year after year. The dandelion’s return, like its colour, is a reminder of perseverance.

  • letters and words

    Can we emphasize or categorize
    thoughts, events, predicaments.

    Statistics are only numbers, and
    stories require letters and words.

    Mindful of details or laden lore,
    counting dreams we’ve had before.

    Narratives should involve accurate
    accounting of all thought possible.
