Art of Lingering

June 30, 2015 By Verna Bowman 8 Comments

I made the mistake of glancing at my summer calendar and noticed there was no time to hyperventilate. It looked like the next nine weeks were written in stone – on paper. I couldn’t get out of anything. I thought summer was supposed to be lazy-hazy.  It made me homesick for the simple life. What an archaic and charming word – … [Read more...]

Blind Sighted

May 2, 2015 By Verna Bowman 4 Comments

Have you noticed in the blink of an eye we can get blind-sided by life? It was the winter that held on with both frozen fists, so I figured that must be the reason everything looked so colorless and bleak. Then the earth woke up and started putting on a few pastel garments of spring, but everything still looked gray. I wasn’t … [Read more...]
