I stand at a precipice, frozen. I’ve spent my life walking through life, tilted backwards. Instead of acting, I am pulled along. I resist. Pressures all around me, push and pull. I stay in jobs I hate. I only went to college because my parents made me. If I was running a 5K, I’d be that person whose dog is doing all of the work for them. But that is not what people see. People see me standing straight. I am at the top of a platform, victorious. They do not see my struggles. I only let them see my successes.

“A bird may love a fish senor, but where would they live?”

A quote from Ever After played in my mind when I saw the juxtaposition of wood stepping stones embedded in the gravel. My mind began to picture the type of person who once lived here: an artist too consumed by work to worry about keeping grass alive. Whomever lived here saw the world in a different way. It was too bad the house was foreclosed. As I confirmed an offer, I wondered what happened to the former owner.

“Mummy, they are two high Mummy!”

“Those are special eggs.”

I listened without taking my eyes off my book. Not only did I not enjoy screaming children, I didn’t think Easter should be about eggs and chocolate bunnies. Easter was about cleaning up after yourself, spring cleaning, renewal and all that jazz. Maybe if stupid “spring forward” daylight savings or non-daylight savings hadn’t just happened, maybe I’d be more tolerant of over-sugared children.

“My boss is a slave driver,” Victoria complained. “She has us working harder, not smarter.”

“Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around?” Leah asked.

“You would think so. We’re not allowed to think. Not allowed to look for inefficiencies, not allowed to care about the customer experience. No one seems to care that we are fighting an uphill battle against the current without a paddle.”

Leah laughed but stopped herself under Victoria’s glare. “Exaggerating much?”

“No. You know that dog that gets the stick stuck in the stairs? He keeps pushing, thinking brute force is the answer. It’s like that. Unrealistic expectations and no common sense.”

“Dogs don’t have…”

“Oh shut up.”

Quick update on the cat front. I have adopted a beautiful 5 year old all black cat that I’ve named Rowena and nicknamed Rue for short.

There is darkness inside me. Anger. Fear. Loss. I dwell too long and I allow this part of me to grow. Soon, it consumes me. I drive away those things in my life that keep me sane, keep me human. Have I passed the tipping point? Am I beyond redemption?

You are what you eat. It’s a common enough phrase. Eat fat, you’ll be fat. Eat healthy, you’ll be healthy. People tend to ignore medical conditions, but that’s besides the point. What if you eat an angry fish or scared head of kale? Are our emotions tied to what we eat as well?

The poison dripped into the water, spreading across the bottom of the pond. The color faded as the poison dissipated. The chemical company saw the clear water and decided the parts per million must be small enough that no one would ever know.

Over the months, everything seemed fine. The company continued to make occasional trips to the pond since as of yet, no fish had turned belly up. It was not until the next generation when cancer in the town was on the rise that people noticed fish with five eyes, two heads, hearts on the outside of their bodies, and one that glowed while its ancestors didn’t.

A great little illustration that had me smiling. Very creative and funy! I think ‘First-Draft Furnace’ and ‘Cave of Reclusive Genius’ were my favourite parts of the retreat.

Look out at the world. What do you see? Do you see beauty or do you see heartache? I used to stare out the window and imagine my favorite cartoon characters running beside the car. They would dive into the earth and jump back out as concrete medians broke up the grass. When dressed up in frilly tutus, I wondered if people wondered where I was going dressed like that. Some people look at hedgehogs and draw little faces on scraps of paper. They doodle on post-its and hold them up on the subway. We each see the world through a unique perspective.
