About
I like to write and I like stories - but not the superficial kind. I like the stories that drive the stories - the real, not the fiction ones. Applaud

I only can be what I am, but don't be demurred by my stinger. I really am not into fights, unless I have to. Then, my friend - you should remember that I am a scorpion. Oh and oui, c'est moi...the one you think I am - the southern one. Go ahead and make something of that, or of what I write about... who cares? At least I am creating...and learning....and speaking for myself and not on my knees peeking through the keyhole of life. Stand up, hush yer mouth and get out there . . . live your life instead of being a voyeur...then come back and we can talk about it, eh?

It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it. ~ Anais Nin ~

And sentence that is right (where every word is at home,

Taking its place to support the others,

I've reading all these articles about making medical marijuana legal across the United States.  I also read a lot of comments - some funny, some exhorting the harmful effects of marijuana and warning how legalizing it for any purposes would cause the war  on drugs to escalate...

I have a friend who is going through a personal health crisis.  That is always tough.  Somehow, it is more than frightening to consider our lives and think of it interrupted by necessary treatment.  It is also frightening to consider our own mortality and such events...
