Random Musings...

One might think that my relative silence, bloggishly-speaking, is an indication of a certain peace of mind. It isn’t. My brain is as feverish as ever...perhaps more so. There are times when my mind swirls around a feeling, a “topic” or a question. Those are the learning times, for me. Most days, though, all is cluttered jumble.

On days such as these, my mind covers terrain like this:

Brilliant Whimsy

I simply do not tire of this fanciful bit of imagery. I smile each time I view it. I think it’s because my world is peopled by flying penguins...



Reader Abuse

I’ll confess I’m a solipsist. I am. I’ve noticed that I’ve been using this blog as a repository for songs I revisit often. Given that all of my music is packed in boxes scattered far and wide, I’ve resorted to pasting music clips so they’d tingle at my fingertips. Then again, the songs I paste mean a great deal to me, each for its own unique reasons. Here’s one those (the video’s a bit lame...):



My Inner Woman

I’ve long been aware that a great many (most) of the songs that touch me the deepest are songs written and sung by women...from a woman’s point of view. It doesn’t seem to matter. So often, these songs mirror my own emotions.

By the way, I think I look stunning in heels...

I Don’t Understand...

much of anything. It’s not that I’m a dolt (although several valid arguments support that determination), I “understand” a great many things from an intellectual, rational and educated perspective. It is useful to possess a rational “understanding” of the world.

But I understand so little. My greatest truths, barely a handful, resonate within me intellectually, emotionally and physically. To truly understand something...anything...it must be experienced. Without direct experience, all we have is empathy...without empathy all we have is blind ignorance.

Yep. I’m gonna do it again...post a song for my own enjoyment...and reflection.
