scratches in my mind - featherweight heavy
when life weighs us down a crow's feather can fracture ailing hearts and souls * Thanks for reading! Author's Notes: Another addition to my series "scratches in my mind", that also doubles up as making use of Poppy's Prompts 9. Below you will find a link to the good lady's latest prompts, two other "scratches" and another piece.

Soundless Connection Across the Coffee Shop
She strolls into the café I frequent so regularly, full of grace, elegance, and a pale face dressed in dirty blonde hair. As I watch her approach the counter, almost gliding on air, her curvy figure enters my frame of vision, I can't hear her order or Born to Run playing through the sound system.

The Real Book Thief
There are not many things more satisfying than sitting down to read a good book. With interesting characters, we love and loathe, conflicts and resolutions, twists and turns. From the start we are engrossed through the middle to the end. The end that brings everything to a nice, or not so nice conclusion.

The Journal
I had always taken pride in my high standards for whom I let into my life. Was I lonely? Yes. Often. I overthought almost everything in life. Which I believed was a secret weapon, a special power, but also a curse. That's why I started journaling. Joanne suggested it might help me understand myself better, or at least help me sleep at night. I am very much a person of order, or at least, perceived order. Things need to be in their relative place.

20,000+ Reads and Counting - Reflections. Top Story - September 2024.
“Always celebrate your wins. Big or small.” – Leigh Shulman So, I am not even sure what to say. I had been aware it was getting close…like four months ago…so then the heat died down on the potential excitement. I knocked past 20,000 reads recently and Vocal may just be one little hovel, little hole the internet to which we can't help but fall in, but I am proud and pleased as punch. That is from March 2021 when I first joined up until today when I published this.
