A Writing Timeline

September 21, 2021September 21, 2021 / akirsling / Leave a comment

I am 31. I just broke up with the man who I thought I would marry. The man who I wanted to be the father of my children. I date, drink, and work jobs to make money.  I dance but I make nothing creative of my own. I am empty but I don’t know what to … Continue reading A Writing Timeline

Quarantime- Progress

April 1, 2020 / akirsling / Leave a comment

This morning I felt tired. Not because of the what’s happening in the world, but because I had a chihuahua wake me in the middle of the night. Despite that, I started the cloudy, dreary day with determination to make things happen. I found a cabin I was interested in buying. I had started the … Continue reading Quarantime- Progress

Quarantime- The Two Hawks

March 29, 2020March 30, 2020 / akirsling / Leave a comment

This morning I awoke feeling drowsy. The sun was peaking over the mountain. Yet, I knew it would not be a day like yesterday. The warmth of the sun had penetrated my skin so much that I momentarily forgot that the world is crumbling. I got up and went downstairs to clean and prepare coffee. … Continue reading Quarantime- The Two Hawks

Quarantime- The Chasm

March 27, 2020March 30, 2020 / akirsling / Leave a comment

I am going to write about my time social and physical distancing from people. This is something I already practice somewhat as I live in a rural area. So hopefully I can inspire ideas or routines that help people. Or help people to avoid things that do not help. There isn’t anything groundbreaking in here. … Continue reading Quarantime- The Chasm

Maine days- Other Journals

November 25, 2018March 10, 2019 / akirsling / Leave a comment

10/28/2018 I arise today, comfortable on my Japanese futon. Every morning I wake up at 5 am. The morning light starts to flood in the cabin at this early hour. I was never a morning person but without electricity I awake early to utilize the morning light. I enjoy watching the sun rise over the … Continue reading Maine days- Other Journals

1/26/2018 I saw a photo of Baudelaire. He looks evil. I had to go to the bathroom so badly on the train, I almost peed myself. I said sorry twice while I was in Chicago. The moments I experienced are like the ones I saw in paintings at the Art Institute. Timeless moments captured, like … Continue reading Journals
