I’ve tried to think of a way to describe the feeling you’ve described. You’ve done it so well. All I could come up with was “an overwhelming, all-enveloping joyful sadness” or perhaps “a sad joyfulness”, although “joyfulness” is probably not a word at all.

I think you need to change the tag line on your home page to Art “and Poetry” by Monique Cagle. The “stripper” as a metaphor for the “spring tease” is brilliant and vivid. I’ll buy your book.

The Groke wouldn’t let us come home until Thursday. On the plus side we were stuck in Florida, but we really wanted to be trapped at home with our “kids”.

Comment on Happy New Year! by Peg Caudell

Happy belated birthday, Monique. Good advice on the new year’s resolutions. I didn’t awake on January 1st with lots of enthusiasm for the new year, but then turned to a calendar sent as a gift by my sister, and the quotation for January is “It’s wonderful to wake up in the morning knowing you’re doing all that you can do.” Actually that’s kind of a lofty goal for living each and every day, but I think I’ll try my best to achieve it.

Happy New Year!

Peg

* Not that dogs usually wear shoes- but you get my gist. Donate to your local animal shelter, or food pantry, or homeless shelter- they need your help.

As always your writings are so creative allowing the reader to excitingly search on for the wonderful tidbits that you write about. This piece alone caused me to relish in the farm walks of my youth — wild strawberries, open ditches with tadpoles and the deep silence and the lovely sheep, that always drew me as it does you to the excitement of the next venture. Thank you so much what a great read.

Monique, I enjoyed reading this blog entry about the heat and your evening walks to the pond. Your description of your place makes me nostalgic and even a bit homesick for the place I grew up. I live in a city now, a very green one, one I have become attached to over the past decade or so. But even “The City of Lakes” (Minneapolis) doesn’t offer the very particular sounds, sights and smells that I know. Maybe one day Indiana will be home again. My partner and my Beagle like it there too. We’ve visited several times.Until then I’ll have to make dowith walks around the block with my dog and my boyfriend.
