FILIA – [Latin] daughter; female off-spring
My Darling Filia;

There is a great wind
like the Hawk on a Chi – town lake.
Blowing hard to get past.
Over, under, around all sides.
With my futile resistance, it blusters through,

A tornado springs
like from a tale about a Kansas …
I was raised in a big city in the slow South.
I know a little about cross cultural dining and where Delta Blues
collides with Sly Stone, Al Green, and Zeppelin.

Yes, I sin …
The Girl was asked one day about her most unique doll collection. She described dolls of all sorts and for all occasions. There were the ones who looked pretty like the Barbies and the Kens. There were ones that “did” something like Wetsy Betsy, or Chatty Cathy. There were the …
In the comic book world both SuperHeroes/Heroines and Uber Villans/Vixens share many common characteristics.
Both good and evil are usually on some “mission” to prevent or expedite some global, regional, or personal event. Both seem to have an aura of nobility about their purpose, and almost always have some degree of …
So Im thinking today, as failure and roadblocks reveal themselves, as a bit
of depression seeps back in, and I felt inclined to review those common
frivolities like goal setting, cover letters, resumes and the like.
I was struck by a train called epiphany.
I have virtually to personal goals, no marks Im truly …
