Old Enough To Get There But Too Young To Get Inside
It all started with Dolly. In 2016, my family took a trip to Gatlinburg. My whole family...mom, dad, sisters, aunt, uncles, cousins, grandparents, everyone. We stayed in one of the mansion-size cabins associated with Dollywood and spent several days in the park (in addition to getting lost trying to find our white water rafting dock and arguing with my mother about buying a pair of real boots because my feet had finally stopped growing). It was a great trip. It was also then that my youngest sister, Erin, began her obsession with Dolly Parton.

Three-Paws Gambit
The sun, a decadent smear of pinks and golds, drips over the horizon, casting a warm glow over the rooftops and spilling into the sea below. From where I sit on my perch—a stoop outside a shuttered bakery—the islands scattered across the water look like inkblots, dark smudges on the molten gold of the horizon. Above it all, on the geriatric carcass of an old transmission tower near the shoreline, Three-Paws Gambit stretches with the grace of a seasoned queen. Her fur catches the last light, a calico mosaic against the twilight. The faint undead hum of the electric transformer beneath her seems to resonate with her purr, like some strange symphony of waves and wires.

An Exhausted Hummingbird Finds Her Second Wind. Honorable Mention in Through the Lens Challenge.
Have you ever heard arguing hummingbirds? It's an entertaining rumble of hovering madness to behold; they dip and dart in circles, peeping and pestering their opponent. Then they disappear as quickly as they zoomed in, as if all arguments were forgiven.

The Blue Rose, Synchronicity, and the Surreal Stream
Just look at this random collection of junk and jewel! Winter seems a time of challenge, does it not? It is therefore in this spirit that I again challenge my self to pick through the daunting stream of consciousness for a piece reflecting on time or the lack thereof.

We all want our lives to be perfect. Sometimes the unexpected gets in the way. The Fall season in Oregon's Willamette valley brings with it a deluge of inclement weather. Days and even weeks of heavy rain are not unheard of. Overcast days and cooler temperatures prevail.

Why I Wake for the Moon How many times have you truly watched the moon set? Not just glimpsed it in passing, but saw it slip quietly behind the horizon just before sunrise, its light softening and fading like the closing note of a song.
