Posted on October 31, 2014 by allielousch

Good Lord. What a day already. It’s Halloween. All day long and – for a globe of revellers – long into tomorrow morning. I have no real beef with Halloween, I just don’t like it. It seems like a weak … Continue reading →

Hollowing

Posted on October 21, 2014 by allielousch

This uncomfortable truth

Posted on October 10, 2014 by allielousch

I don’t know where to go with it. This loneliness. Sometimes crushing. Not a problem to be solved per se. Typically, I am busy and engaged with adventures woven among the lives of friends and family. Or I’m off kicking … Continue reading →

I would have hated to miss it

Posted on October 8, 2014 by allielousch

I almost missed it this morning. This morning marked the blood moon when early “morning people” saw both the big red moon and the rising sun in the same sky. My friend, Lou, checked in to make sure I didn’t miss it. The … Continue reading →

The Opposite of Spot-on

Posted on October 2, 2014 by allielousch

I love the term “spot-on.” So sure. So confident. So on-target. So unlike this morning. Actually, so unlike any moment in my experience. Last evening, I was restless in the storms. So I barreled into the night that crashed and banged … Continue reading →
