Voices-IF
From the time I was born to now, there have always been wars; but there were also people who were trying to end discrimination, and trying to be good stewards of the earth. There were so many causes, "voices" trying to be heard. I remember going to various churches, and back then it was the only time I felt calm during those tumultuous times in the USA. As soon as I heard those voices singing, whether it was gospel songs, hymns, chanting or folk songs, it was those voices that gave me peace. So, when I dream of peace, there are always voices involve. My most common dream is a wonderful saxophone playing on its own and voices of people ... Continue Reading »

Clique – IF
A couple of things ran through my mind when I saw this week's prompt, "Clique".The first thing was the handouts I used to get in 1st grade, with the title, "Which Doesn't Belong?"It was always so obvious back then!The second thing I thought about was high school and all the different "cliques" that alienated all of us from each other; because of some lame excuse that no one remembers after they left of high school or if you did remember, it's not important any longer! But, finally, for inspiration, I decided to go with the old nest in my backyard and improvise. "Cliques" abound, even in nature...so with that I'll let the image speak for ... Continue Reading »
