Just a Peek . . .

Welcome. Here you will find posts on just about anything, from the mundane to the insane, the outlandish to the sublime. I include a wide selection of quotes, images and music in all of my posts. Be forewarned: I am a left-leaning, liberal, feminist who does not hesitate to speak my mind. Enjoy.

Recent Ramblings:

  • “The mistake is to look for explanations where we should just watch the slow fuse burning. Nerve of confession. What we let go we let go.” ~ Rosemarie Waldrop, from Lawn of Excluded Middle June 18, 2013
  • “Heightened self-consciousness, apartness, an inability to join in, physical shame and self-loathing—they are not all bad. Those devils have been my angels. Without them I would never have disappeared into language, literature, the mind, laughter and all the mad intensities that made and unmade me.” ~ Stephen Fry, from Moab Is My Washpot June 17, 2013
