Sun Gazing in Tucson

-
Mornings are quiet here. Before the heat kicks in. The sun is low and soft. Like it’s waking up slow. I usually just stop. Take a moment. Let it sink in.

I stare at the sun. Just catching the light at the edges of my eyes. Feeling the warmth on my face before the day gets busy.

Sometimes the sky is pink and gold. Other times just pale blue. Either way, it feels like hitting reset. A little break before the noise starts.
I don’t stay long. Just long enough to slow my breath. To settle. It grounds me.

I try to do this every day. And when I do, it reminds me why I live in this dry heat. 

Mornings have a softness. 
If you catch them just right.

Simply Me,

Destroyed Earth: Eerie Horror

-
Destroyed Earth: Eerie Horror The earth was unrecognizable. Once teeming with life, it was now a barren wasteland, devoid of any sign of civilization. The air was thick with toxic fumes, the oceans were polluted with garbage and oil spills, and the soil was stripped of nutrients, unable to support any plant life. It wasn't always like this, of course. There was a time when humans flourished when they built towering cities and advanced technologies that promised to make life better for everyone. But somewhere along the way, something went terribly wrong. As the human population exploded, so did their appetite for resources. Forests were clear-cut to make way for more farmland, mountains were blasted to extract precious minerals, and the oceans were overfished to the point of collapse. The warnings were there, of course. Scientists had been warning for years about the consequences of overconsumption and pollution. But their voices were drowned out by the constant noise of progress by...

Harmony in Transition: Navigating Life's Rhythms, Friendship Dynamics, and the Beauty of Solitude by Drakovi Bloodrose Ever notice how life's rhythm shifts as we navigate its various chapters? It's akin to a melody transitioning from the lively chorus of childhood friendships to the more subdued tunes of adulthood. As children, we might face bullying from those who dislike us, while our friends provide a haven of kindness. Growing older brings a twist – friends can become the source of challenges, and unexpected kindness from strangers can play a healing melody. "In life's rhythm, friends shape the tune that elevates or challenges us. Sometimes, it's the unexpected kindness from strangers that becomes the soothing melody of healing." - Drakovi Bloodrose Perhaps we often overemphasize the importance of having friends. Expecting constant support and positivity may not align with the ebbs and flows of genuine friendships, potentially giving them more credit t...

Rutland's Charter: A Time Traveler's Tale

-
In the year 1761, I embarked on an extraordinary journey, transgressing time, to find myself in the heart of Rutland, Vermont—a place of nascent dreams and burgeoning hopes. The air was laden with the fragrance of opportunity, and as I traversed this land of colonial America, I was greeted by a tableau of sights and sounds of the 18th century. In the middle of this time capsule, Governor Benning Wentworth stood as the linchpin of a small gathering of townsfolk. Together, they were embroiled in spirited discourse, discussing a charter that would delineate the future of our town, Rutland. The charter was no mere document; it was a parchment scroll carrying the dreams of a community ready to unfurl. I could not resist the allure of their conversation, and thus, I joined the throng, immersing myself in their dialogue. "What shall we christen this realm?" one among them inquired. "Rutland," chimed in another, their voices resounding with conviction. It was as if this nam...
