Altered States, The Accident - As Of 10/10/25 Early AM Named "Clyde" (Short For Collide) Because It's Funny And I Deserve Mirth At Its Expense, The Shower Accident 11/14/25

Is Barely Enough?

About to attend another retraining, she knew that due to her concussion, she would barely be able to preview the material, if at all, before workshops commenced.

The best that she could do at this time would be to show up and absorb the practice experience – leaving further indepth study for when she’d begin to integrate techniques into her practice.

A Woman's Plight

In Our Own Way

They say that the holidays must be
Celebrated and attended to lovingly

And because of ingrained expectations
It is hard to avoid pain when they’re not

But I am used to having to self tend alone
Though I miss collaboration there’s peace

Where fighting over control yields nothing
Though I want to build sharing connection

In these opportunities for symbolic events
Where can display our love’s trust proudly

A Woman's Plight

The Tree And Me

I had to cut down part of a sapling
Growing from roots of the greater

Its thickness two the three inches
Measuring time we have been here

It had grown through a fence panel
At first had been spindly as fragile

It along with another root sibling
Provided the cats shading variety

This year it’d shot up tall and straight
Was loaded with budding magistrate

A potentiality’s splendor to behold
In its overarcing promised canopy

But I had no time to wait any further
Needing to protect pampas rootings

It would have held onto one panel
Poised in the yard as industrial art

Its fronding wips smacked at my eyes
As I snipped smaller pieces for pick up

They seemed to say see, breathe, be me
All that you could ever dream of with me

Nature loves and responds to us
Giving back hope we long to see

Altered States, The Shower Accident 11/14/25

Saturday’s Task

“A friend helped me take apart the cattery and get the varied shaped panels around the pampass grass roots.

The funny thing is, for too long I kept trying to shape the fencing in two arcs around the two separate clusters of clumps – but kept needing more extensions, which were limited.

She then determined that if we placed them linearly in front of the clumps and only arced on one end, then attached both ends to other prior existing fencing, we would have enough panels to do the job.

But my brain had been overcomplicating instead of simplifying due to the concussion.

And today’s event reinforced the understanding that for once I was automatulically creatuve, rather than linaer inclined.”
