musing #3

 a poem for you


It's been quite the journey,
And I'm ever so weary.
I scream such out to the void,
But no one seems to hear me.

ode to “Tom's Diner”

mintyy 🍵 · Ode to Tom’s Diner - Papoter et Bavarder Estimated Reading Time: 3 min Dear Suzanne Vega,  Thank you for “Tom's Diner”. The piece really follows what seems like a normal morning in such a poetically picturesque way.  We follow the narrator (Suzanne? A femme? Unknown?) who has entered a coffee shop to begin their morning. The pace is set where each catchy break is preceded by a line that leaves the listener curious as to what will happen next. The song follows a steady melody up until the end where the rhythm is disrupted by church bells and the line, “I am thinking of your voice.” It makes the whole story appear like a daydream or an apparition. (Shout out to VEGA for adding a beat!) The consistent pattern of lines and breaks is akin to a hum, and the bells bring this person back to the diner where they are thinking about the voice of someone whom I'd imagine is special to the narrator.

musing #1

  holiday ready! 🎄 Estimated Reading Time: 3 min Since starting this blog back in November (published in December), I have been quietly working on a couple of posts in between staying afloat at work.

I'll have plenty of time to focus on this project during the flight to visit my belle-famille (I prefer this term to "in-laws") anyway.

musing #2

 time flies Estimated Reading Time: 5 min I don't even know where to start. Should I open with how I haven't touched this blog since before my holiday? Or that I was wishfully thinking when I thought I could maintain a blog with those purple talons and by the time I had them removed I was overwhelmed by life? Maybe I should talk about the status of my works in progress (nonexistent)? No, no, I should start with the fact that I have been completely burnt out from work having covered a 5-month maternity leave and part of my recovery has been reconnecting with my roots by revisiting relics from childhood and re-immersing myself in spiritual practice. Yes, I think I'll begin there. Let's say, over the past four or so years, I have been putting a lot of work into myself. Back then, my angel of passion had full reign, which usually wasn't an issue until it was an issue. That means, being passionate isn't a problem in itself, but like anything, left unchecked...
