Not Even the Trees

/ Becca / 6 Comments

Warmly colored leaves soften the cold forest floor beneath me. I scour the sky for meaning, in vain.

The encroachment of evergreens and branches keep secrets. I shriek for answers that will never come, and tears burn unimpeded into my ears.

But no one’s listening to me, not even the trees.

And you’re still gone.

Addicted

/ Becca / 10 Comments

I’m addicted to reading.

The world could fall apart around me, but if my nose is in a book, I wouldn’t even notice. I have a hard time putting a book down before it’s finished. Even (especially) when there’s something else I should be doing, like writing, laundry, dishes, and even wiping baby butts.  All I need is my kindle, and a soft, warm blanket, I’m lost to the world.

What about you? What are you doing, instead of what you should?

Unplugged

/ Becca / Leave a comment

This is where I unplug. Reading, Window Seat

I grab a novel, wrap up in my blanket, lean back against my reading pillow, and get lost for a little while.
