Blue is a colour, not a feeling

AsideMarch 10, 2023March 10, 2023 Athousandbitsofpaper13 Comments

The bluer the sky The bluer the sea I dwell in the sliver, in between And I am not blue Not even a bit I drift on the tide Breathing *After my morning spent snorkeling, I sat watching the water change colour in tune with the sun sparking in and out from behind clouds. As […]

Mending old wounds

AsideMarch 9, 2023March 9, 2023 AthousandbitsofpaperLeave a comment

My shadow is stitched to my foot All that is black and self defeating All the rot Follows me I could cut it off, but then I would never know where it is hiding It could spring from the trees on a perfect summers evening And ambush my feelings Bring me low A lightening blow […]

Being present is more delightful then being away

AsideFebruary 18, 2023February 17, 2023 Athousandbitsofpaper14 Comments

We can go away Run away Walk away Drive away Away away away And yet, everything follows as if packed in a bag on purpose It springs out as soon as we answer the phone The biggest mistake then Was to think it could ever be different And as I watched his happy expression drain […]

The frame in which we find our selves

AsideFebruary 4, 2023February 3, 2023 Athousandbitsofpaper11 Comments

“Your energy is sacred” The words hit me from a sign in a shop that I had been wandering around in on holidays. It was a beautiful shop. The kind full of heavy linen, textures, candles, delicious aromas, chunky chrystals, natural fibres. Everything was in muted tones of cream, brown, auburn, black, white, beige. Tassles. […]

This time last year

AsideDecember 6, 2022December 6, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper1 Comment

I don’t have a blog post for today, so I thought I would share what turned out to be a popular one from the same day last year. It seems like 5 minutes ago. Have a lovely day X https://athousandbitsofpaper.com/2021/12/06/touched-by-invisible-hands/

Love the moment you’re in

AsideNovember 15, 2022November 16, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper11 Comments

Some days begin and end so far apart The sun rises over the ocean I sip coffee, saying goodbye in my heart to my beloved seaside house Hours later, an entire day has past And I watch the same sunset amidst a dusty haze of green and gold paddocks Happy dog, happy I am home, […]

Clarity and Calmness

AsideOctober 24, 2022November 16, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper32 Comments

Am I writing this post just to use the photos of Hoges that I took this afternoon? Possibly He is a cute dog and a very messy one who has never met a mud hole that he didn’t love Nonetheless, this post is not about him It’s rained a lot lately, every ditch and gully, […]

The key to remembering

AsideAugust 19, 2022August 16, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper13 Comments

Disassociation We run away from ourselves, the situation, the thinking of things that provoke us The more resilient and strong we seem The further away from the true problems we have drifted I had no idea this was where I existed Away from myself had become home and I hung pictures on the wall Lived […]

The Storyteller

AsideAugust 12, 2022August 12, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper4 Comments

Ever had the sensation where your mind won’t shut up, but you need to go to sleep, but it won’t shut up, and you toss and turn, and the hours tick away and the more you yearn for sleep, the more things your mind keeps coming up with, to keep you awake. Last night, as […]

A Rosary of Sighs

AsideJuly 21, 2022July 21, 2022 Athousandbitsofpaper6 Comments

The sky is pulling closer to the earth My feet sink into mud Shallow and slippery Breathing is a damp mist I do this and then it is done Another day opened without a sun Cold grey mornings strung together A necklace of prayers Mental fingers counting every one Monday Tuesday Wednesday The to do […]
