V is for Voices

V is for Voices.

Voices in the head, voices of others, voices are everywhere.

There are times when the voices are too much to bear, and at times they are just right to inspire. Hearing the voices from someone's radio a mile away, or the voices on a television set at the other end of the house when you are trying to concentrate makes the voices irritating. It can make you wonder if others are deaf or if you are merely easily annoyed.

I hope they are going deaf, the other alternative is that they are deliberately annoying. Do the voices bother you or do you welcome them as an excuse not to focus?

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
