Another day, Scarlette. Posted by mi'chele at 9:12 AM. List, continued 4. Someone asked me, can’t remem. My Life, the List. I should be sleeping. The Night the Bed Fell.

http://thesmellofcypress.blogspot.com/2013/08/i-should-be-sleeping.html
The Smell of Cypress. Stories of life and love, exploration and discovery . from 'down de bayou.' Come see! Wednesday, August 21, 2013. I should be sleeping. I should be sleeping. It’s 12:15 AM, and I should be sleeping. I should be tired, and body is but mind isn’t; so I hear the whisper write write write. Insistent and persistent and damned annoying.

One most enjoyed when approached tentatively - with the electricity of anticipation, the yearning built from abstinence, and the knowledge that fulfillment will be sure and complete. Of what is found there.

The Smell of Cypress. Stories of life and love, exploration and discovery . from 'down de bayou.' Come see! Saturday, April 30, 2011. Viktor Frankl and Having Choices. A young friend, today, reminded me of an author I have not considered in way too long. Viktor Frankl saved my life. The circumstances were long ago and far away and of not much consequence, anymore.

The Smell of Cypress. Stories of life and love, exploration and discovery . from 'down de bayou.' Come see! Saturday, July 31, 2004. My Name is on the Deed. Now, people here don’t usually talk about this. I can’t say that I blame them. Death is only slightly less offensive than burial. On the other hand, I learned, after moving here, that death is pretty much taken as it comes, right along with marriage and birth and whatever major milestones a life might have. Tends to be a sobering thought, a humbling ...

I could go back 12 years and work my way forward or I could just start with today and trust that anyone who has ever shared her/his life with a dog will get it. I want to see them myself!

And I always try to sip slowly, as I imagine one would have sipped a mint julep out on the veranda of an overly large plantation home. Thinking about the plantation home necessarily creates images of slavery and abuse, spoiling the taste of the julep and breaking me unpleasantly free of reverie. As I strive for a more appropriate image, comes the pondering. Thanks for stopp...

It is 2:07 pm, when I would normally be wrapping up the school day, and here I sit at home and at my computer. It was announced yesterday, before we left, that schools would be closed today. We have not yet processed all the fear of Katrina and her aftermath, and now we must react to new fears of Rita. They aren’t on the same side as the water that is now re-entering New...
