Will For Free

RDP Thursday Prompt:  free will

Isn’t it a sad thing

when you realize that the only way you can truly be free

of this word and of all of it’s rules and expectations

is if nobody notices you

if you fly, skate or crawl under the radar

if you have a voice that nobody hears and a face that nobody remembers.

The Wall

Years ago when Facebook became a thing, I posted something about George W Bush and the Iraq war.

One of my relatives commented PROPAGANDA! And he never visited my wall again.

In fact, we stopped speaking after he left that comment on my FB wall.

Over the years I saw him love and like some very narrow minded posts about politics, gun control and race on my other relatives wall’s. Go figure. We all crawled out of the same gene pool  but here we are. We all have different points of view- major ones.

Now when I run across his name on my ancestry.com tree I think to myself maybe I should send him a Christmas card this year.

But I haven’t and I am sure I never will.

I still love him, but i don’t miss him.

Family relationships are never black and white.

RDP Friday: BLACK AND WHITE

Loosey Goosey

For me ENTIRE life it has been drummed into my head

that I need to be flexible,

that my goal in life is to find a way to

conform, to mold, to rearrange every atom in my body

to fit the situation I am in in order to

make other people feel safe and secure.

WHY would you expect that  sort of ‘elasticity’ from anybody in your life?

RDP Wednesday: ELASTIC

The Question

RDP Prompt: The Day After

The Day after Christmas

just as my alarm went off this morning

and before I even opened my eyes

I wondered if it was going to snow, eventually

I wondered if I should have eaten more instead of less.

I took a breath-just a little breath- and then

I opened my eyes, and I asked myself

the most important questions of all:

How many days is it until Halloween?
