Vacuuming the Empty Room
It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve done it before, you still go back to that room. It’s in your house, so, when you clean, you must return. There is nothing to clean but for the dust flecks of scalp that you left, when exiting the last time. But you vacuum the carpet anyway. No […]
Shake it up!
If you happen to be curious about how many possible meanings one word could have, as I was prior to writing this discussion, I encourage a quick google search using the terms “shake” and “definition”. I realize that it will take several moments to read through all of the documented entries provided by Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, […]
The Faucet
The act of turning on a faucet, and letting water flow, is a very unremarkable act. We do this many times in a given day. And each time we perform the action, we think very little about what we are doing, how it is being done, or even what is occurring when we are doing […]
Please hold the light
Think of the lighthouse. It is forever rooted to its place along a rocky shore. It is a tall, elegant, monolith.

Arrange with consideration each piece of silver sparkle and glimmer place with deliberation Every basket and bin ceramic and copper perfectly proper down to the ramekins Wooden table and chairs polished and clean shiny and pristine wait for a guest to sit […]
On to the next station
It has been quite some time since my experiences in this wild and wonderful world have led me to write of the preposterousness everyday life provides. This does not mean, that the awkward, bizarre, curious, eyebrow-raising, head-scratching buffonery has not occurred; merely, the degree of bewilderment I have experienced, has not propelled me towards the […]
Bleach, and Sadness
There are those that enjoy the act of cleaning. There are others that do not. There are some that clean, daily, compulsively, and consistently. And there are others that regard it as a burdensome bore. Regardless in which class you place yourself, cleaning is a necessity. Whether approached with regularity, or abhorently, failure to disperse […]
