Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills. |
Sentinel Marked as if you own me I bow before the Bitterroots and just like you my rocky soil, my withered grass lays prey to the empty sky. © Kåre Enga 2007 "Sentinel" Reader's Choice of Poems: "Zmitri" "In the midst of silence" "Waterlily" "Speak soft my name" "Wheat penny" Reader's Choice of blog entries from my old blog "L'aura del Campo" : "Death of Jeannie New Moon" "Winter: 18 Mas'il (December 29)" "Even in chaos ...

...and sometimes I use toilet paper... (as told to me by Kathy at the Senior Center) Y'know... new year... means I can schedule a visit with my doctor. Medicare is skimpy on maintenance. My legs... my legs... A pile of pancakes yesterday, pork and stuffing today. Price went up to $4 from $3. Still a great deal but that's $20/month increase. It was very slushy and icy yesterday. A tad better today. More people out as well. I scored a bookcase! It's purple... but it's a bookcase! Ran into a young woman at the dumpster. I said something in Spanish and she replied. Then she said something about being in Norway for 3 years... Well! Made my day. We chatted and hopefully can meet at the café to chat again. She's lived in Tromsø (up north). meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee: I made definite progress on my place yesterday after an attack of anxiety and a three hour nap. I can see the light... of my radio blinking. Still working on poems and still reading. Still tossing stuff and still sorting. Still... breathing. Other than that there isn't much news. I could easily be bored to tears. I vow that next year I leave for a month! If I can avoid the two holidays I'll be fine. Costa Rica would be fine. Colombia? Maybe. Norway? Not a good idea as many places shut down for a week or two. Next trip? Not planned yet but Norway beckons every May. The truth? I'd really like to visit some friends. (shhhhhh...) 52,877 |
