Author: willowbearblog

I am a lover of many things: science fiction and fantasy; books of all kinds; music (listening and performing); theatre (plays and improv); cooking; crafts; role play gaming (tabletop and LARP); animals; museums; archeology; etc. I am a spiritual person, but not religious.

I have been here so long; I no longer smell the odor of death that’s everywhere.   So tired, I keep going because of love.   Waiting for the inevitable to come.   On that day, we join soul to soul while Mother Nature sheds tears of rain.   The thunder echoes my grief.   … Continue reading Darkness into Light

It was also about being awake to … Continue reading Being awake in life

December 22, 2017April 12, 2018 ~ willowbearblog ~ Leave a comment

I know what depression is from a clinical stand-point and from my parents battling this insidious creature, but I, in my naiveté, thought I was immune from the serious level that my parents lived at. I was wrong. Hugely wrong. When my friend Bill passed away in July of 1997, I was bereft. I had … Continue reading Depression is a shadow thief

thanksgiving

November 25, 2016May 9, 2024 ~ willowbearblog ~ Leave a comment

This time of year is always hard and yet loved by me. Hard because it was this weekend that Dad would haul out the Christmas decorations and the music and we would decorate the house. He loved it so much! I miss that. Loved because it reminds me to take count of the good stuff … Continue reading thanksgiving
