Written: December 15, 2023 _____________________________________________ It is undeniable that anguish prevails It hovers close to a lilting voice There are no strains to rejoice Once the beat soars, its genesis tweaks. Giving alms is obvious Beyond the ethics of the tithing ritual Coins jingle, evoking a sound A decrease in the supply of...

Sorting Skills Reborn
Sorting skills help you find, Gold, Memories to hold, Jackets to keep out the cold, Places that are free of mould, Money that you fold, That makes the landlord less bold, Documents that put moving on hold.

Premium Member Sorting Through Binomials
Where do I draw my bilateral line in a polycultural sandbox? In-between a merely personal traumatic severing excommunicating dispassionate divesting divorcing marginalizing loss and suffering event And a larger staged eco-political critical systemic potentially multi-generational traumatic climate event.

Do it anyway Spill your truth. Throw it out...

Premium Member These Piles Deplete My Energy
I have seen hoarders. I need a refresher though. Today. Right now. As I decide to give up because this bedroom is too much for me. There has been a possible raccoon den in the corner for six or eight years. Today was the day I decided to tackle it, hoping not to find a beaver dam or a tiger den. ...

The Sorting
My chest feels so heavy Or is it my heart The tears sit on eyelids I hope they don’t start The music plays classic The mood is so slow The songs are so saddened They touch on my sorrow I’m missing you badly I need you to hold If just for a moment So touching my soul I feel like escaping I need to get away I think when...
