A-Zed year two....

So, I conveniently timed my return to the blogosphere with the annual A-Z blogging challenge that runs the month of April. The A-Z challenge is a wonderful way to drive yourself insane---- believe me, there are worse ways of going 'round the bend. Basically, you have 26 letters and 26 days (sans Sundays)... compose a blog a day, centered around its respective letter of the alphabet, ending with 'Z' on April 30th.

The blogs vary in theme as widely as the bloggers who post them. Last year, I had no theme, so my posts were all over the place and became more frustratingly maddening the closer I got to 'Z'. But, I met some wonderful bloggers along the way, who definitely made the challenge worthwhile.

This year, I don't know if I'll have time to come up with a theme, but I'm hoping to be a bit more focused than last year....

Anyone else going to take the maddening journey along the alphabet???

  1. Hi, A to Z'er! I'm along for the ride as well, trying to check out as many blogs as I can. :)

    I'm going to follow along on your journey and I hope you'll do the same for mine! This is my first year trying A to Z. I only just heard of it (on Goodreads) a few days prior to the start, so I am happy to have caught it in time! Anyway, I'll be checking back to hold you accountable, and maybe you can do the same for me!

    Best of luck, fellow blogger!

A to Z reflections....

Another A to Z challenge comes to an end--- another collection of posts and poetry have been written, another deep breath of relief is released. For my fellow bloggers that survived as well, it's another 'challenge-completed' notch carved into the writing desk. I've come to enjoy my yearly foray into the world of all things alphabetical. This was my third year, though it was only the second year I had a workable theme (which made the challenge substantially easier than the first year I attempted this challenge.) And, though my first year was difficult because my focus was so scattered, I found this year was more  difficult because I lost the enthusiasm that came with the first year excitement----excitement which helped me plug along until the end of the challenge. Year 3 was a success in the sense that I completed the challenge, though, this was the year that almost wasn't---- Somewhere about a third of the way through the challenge, I seriously considered...

Bitter Honey

Weaving dreams of beguiling gold, a future's price for happiness. What secrets do you, determined, hold? asks the summer wind's soft caress. A guarded name, a hidden hope. Spinning wheels clutching time, grasping straw that falls away, What dreams may come, we soon may find, won't recall at end of day. A cherished life, a memory lost.

A million lives, beneath a single sky.....

Though our feet leave different prints,our tongues sound different words, there's a mirrored rhythm in the beating of our hearts. Though born in different worlds, our eyes sharpened 'neath different moons, there's an unspoken truth in the warmth of our touch. We may walk in different strides and dream different dreams, we may speak in different voices, maybe swim in different streams. It's plain to see, when dark night falls, as all the stars shine through, that underneath it all, there's no difference 'tween me and you.
