They delivered my sister's ashes to me today.  Except for the seemingly endless bureaucracy surrounding it, her death hasn't been real to me.  I didn't see her every day or even talk to her on the phone or online up until the last few weeks.  But I knew where she was.  I guess I still know exactly where she is -- in my back room, waiting for Spring to come.

It's really an ugly little white box.  I think I'm going to plaster it with glittery butterfly stickers.

She did not simply like to read. She read voraciously, fiercely, carnivorously. She would lie in wait and pounce on unsuspecting books. She would rend and tear the paper-flesh of fiction and nonfiction alike, leaving barely a binding or a smear of ink, then lie down in the shade, sated. -- 5/28/2012

Apologies

My apologies for not updating my scheduled pages this week.  My sister's health has taken center stage lately and my blog has been an after-thought while I focus on her.  I will be back in full force over the next few days and especially on Sunday with Druid Works.  So tonight, I'll leave you with one thought -- a saying my sister is fond of.


Be excellent to each other, my friends.

Getting back on track and setting a schedule

Hello, all.  It's been a little while.  I'm getting back on track here and will be writing more frequently.  :)

I'm setting up a loose schedule for categorical postings, such as Druid/Dedicant work, Opinions/Rants, Favorite Authors/Books.  Thursdays, I think, will be my Favorite Authors posts -- so you can pick up something new to read for the weekend.  I have many friends that are authors, and I want to highlight their work.

So, keep watching and reading this space and tell your friends.
