From January’s first attempts at tackling the freshness of the New Year, “While many have detailed their goals in a manner worthy of the New Year, I have been floundering in my own Sea of Lists.” Me to finding a starting point in the beginning stages within a poem, “Let us step outside for a […]

Life Is In The Doing

laura bruno lilly — Sun, 04 Dec 2022 13:14:39 +0000

I’m just doing the doing. More some days than others. A steady doing of doing that is mostly mindful, often delightful, surprisingly productive and always so very daily. Hubby and I took on several home improvement projects since buying our little rental home October 2021. Doing needful maintenance the landlord avoided doing – even when […]

Just needing me some Ry Cooder – peace entwined within rhythm, amid the blues. The father asked the prodigal…did you hear the angel band? The Prodigal Son

We all need more Christmas

laura bruno lilly — Tue, 08 Dec 2020 12:00:29 +0000

(this year especially) The fresh-cut tree stand down the road from us always sets up shop around November 11th and sells out of ‘fresh’ stock (highly contestable IMHO) around Thanksgiving. This has always confused me as the thought of needle drop before Christmas proper and indoor dry tree syndrome does make for a huge holiday […]

Giving Voice: Shelter

laura bruno lilly — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 00:54:56 +0000

Shelter. That’s maybe all man has ever wanted. Shelter; warmth; food. from: Andrew James Murray Lately the term, “desperately displaced” has been bandied about. As if living ‘between homes – displaced’ is not desperate in and of itself… Giving Voice to those seeking safe places to live and hunker down; where surviving IS thriving. […]

Keeping you in my heart for awhile…

laura bruno lilly — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 11:24:54 +0000

Note: Something triggered this nostalgic moment and while more on the rough draft side, I thought I’d use it for day three of my “6 years on WP.org” posts. One of the joys of being a performing member of the Denver Mandolin Orchestra was the sense of generational genesis. The turn of the 20th to […]
