nenana commented on the post, lullaby 5 days ago
not a lullaby, those winds tonight. the wind chimes, to scare away evil, are evil themselves. devil chimes, again and again and again. i will not slumber tonight. i will fret for my roof and windows and lawn gnomes who must brave this storm alone.

nenana commented on the post, disregard 1 year ago
the complete disregard she emotes as she walks through the room sends shivers through me. how can someone be so completely absorbed with never a thought to the rest of the world? what kind of life is that?

She needs a better alibi than her brother because he sells her out every time. Just like me and Facebook.
‘What did you do today?’
‘Worked on finance.’
‘You sure were on Facebook a lot.’
‘Ummmm….” -

nenana commented on the post, shelter 1 year, 3 months ago
under the branches i huddle, my shelter from the weather. a pot of soup simmers on the fire, miraculously dry in the storm. soup? really water, leaves and twigs mixed in a bucket. my tree, the redbud tree out back.

The labyrinth represents a journey to the sacred. One way in, one way out…it isn’t a maze of confusion, it is a journey to the love of God. I want one. Not sure how to make that happen without bulldozing a […]

A festival of poop! The baby loves sweet potatoes, peas, bananas, applesauce, and any other thing that mixes together into a fragrant festival in her drawers. It’s a party every time, and I wish others were invited.
