Awakenings: Wine Whiskey and Women
What is it about blues music that tears at the soul?
Tried to Scoop this one but it would not travel cyberspace because of the videos (my guess anyway).
Visit Awakenings (catnipoflife’s sister site) for a drawing on the past:
The Blues ~
music to the ears
bleeds sadness

News Flash!
It’s happened again! I can’t believe this! I knew what was coming up. I saw the prison boxes come out. Amber’s is canvas, black with two small meshed windows, sort of like a burka. Mine is plastic with chrome steel bars across the top. They know I can fight my way out of a paper bag so they’re playing it safe. I was also playing it safe. The best place I could find to hide was behind the big easy chair in the living room. I was fun watching the humans look for me. Where’s Bucky? Bucky . . . Here kitty kitty. Forget about it!

About Those Acorns | Your Great Outdoors
Awakenings and her sister site, catnipoflife, are both conscientious about life’s connections to the past and those subtle appearances that expose nature as a diamond in the rough.

To tell the truth I’m really not that in to writing. It’s too much like work. I don’t do work. I might chase a mouse or swat a fly now and again, but that’s about it. Of course I spend a lot of time preening. A girl’s got to take care of herself or no one else will, and I want to be taken care of. I was born to be taken care of. That reminds me, I should to have my nails done this week. Buckminster hates to have his nails cut. You need to have sharp nails to climb trees, he tells me. Right. Like I want to climb trees.
The State of the Street
There’s a neighbor cat, a street cat really. Tom, his people call him when he’s late for dinner which is fairly often. He spends most of his day chasing birds and comes…

Experiencing Life
The simple truth is that your life experiences change your perspective on how you look at things.
Sometimes drastically! Your choice to learn, gain wisdom and move on or be caught up in the past with memories of unfortunate happenings that will prevent you from going forward.

A step into the backyard at twilight into a glorious sunset…
*****
flames etch the horizon
scorching into memory
its fiery sadness
brandishing the heart

searing the soul

*****
slow with descent
melting in splendor
darkness engulfs
close of day
as the last ember glows
*****
A beautiful sunset stills the mind, calms the heart…become lost in its splendor. ~catnipoflife
