Reflecting (once again) on where I’m going as I run and buck through life. I’ve even come up with a manifesto — “Feed the passion. Do the work. Celebrate the journey.”
You can read more about it and see a photo of my Dad’s horse out in the desert at Vision and Verb – “Running and Bucking”
I had a hard time being inspired today, which is what makes this daily poem practice a good thing for me to do. Writers all know, even if they don’t like it, that you cannot wait for inspiration to strike before you write. Over and over I’ve been told, you have to sit your butt…
I’m on Vision and Verb today. I almost re-edited my post there after some of the comments I’ve had lately on my blog and on Facebook. You’ll see the portion of it I’m referring to. But I left it as is because I’m a work in progress, and I’m writing about the journey. Journeys include…
The Mississippi River has gotten a bit high, making our usual path by the river impassable. But the high river made for a few good photos and of course, another poem. I bet you can’t wait until poetry month is done! Oh, and on a side note. I have a new camera on order. I…
I am over on Vision and Verb today, spouting my warped version of poetry. And as an added bonus here, I thought I’d share the music video I ran across at Terri Windling’s blog the Drawing Board. Very cool artistic work on the video…
About a month ago, I decided I would take today and tomorrow off as a birthday mini-vacation and retreat. You know, contemplate the meaning of life and figure out what I want to do with what’s left of said life. Plus I wanted to write and do some other fun stuff. Then I got a…
Wrestle Mania continues at the Rose household. Ya kind of gotta wonder about the new addition. Is she cute? Or is she scary? Or is she just plain weird? Maybe all of the above. Java, Latte, and I have been taking our recent walks in the woods behind the nearby library. I had the idea…

Love your manifesto. That’s the way to live!
Love it! And the photo too. Went to Vision and Verb…you got some great comments and more quotes over there.
Nice of you to surface for a minute. Hope all is well.
Love this image. So perfectly paired with your v&v reflections!
I love your new “manifesto” and the photo…beautiful, makes me want to jump in! Take care hun…haven’t seen you in the flesh for a while…maybe in the fall! : )
Hi Maery Rose, for some weird reason I couldn’t leave a comment on the V&V site, so I came here. First, I really like the photo you posted there – and I like this one here as well, it’s beautiful – and second, especially the last paragraph realle skope to me. It seems many of us are reflecting about where we want to go in life, what is good for us and what should we just let go. Big and difficult decisions.
I love the reflection. It’s a wonderful photograph. I also like the advice to “celebrate the journey.”
Fabulous shot! And with a great motto like that, it doesn’t matter where you are going, the getting there will be the adventure.
