Ari-Wood
Welcome to Ari-Wood. Step right up and see the sights. To your left, you will see the delicate fragility of fairy land. On the right, watch out for the fiery dragons. For your safety, we recommend you stay on the path and don't stray into the netherworlds of risk and chance. Alternatively, perhaps you like the benefits that go along with taking that chance..........

All rights to the poetry and stories in Ari-Wood
belong exclusively to the author.


That which is not mine,
That which is not good,
That which is not altruistic....
Is requested to leave.

The stories and poems encased in this crystal blog are written from my own imagination and in no way are intended to be viewed as written to any specific person unless I specifically state that it is.

My heart is a book which you leaf through as simply as the pages of this blog..

Antiqued an worn
The words bleed
From a hidden place
Deep within my chapters
Where only one can see
And whispering spirits tarry

Frayed are my edges
Yet my gliding
Remains beautiful
Not a mere ornament
But a testament to the tooling
Which has geared my life

Sown tightly is my binding
I have weathered the years
I shine with wisdom an character
Like no other book
Yet my cover bares the marks
Of ordinary use

Turn my pages lightly
And you shall read
My hued memories
Of dreams and dreaminess
Of times and timelessness
Of lives and liveliness

Upon my inner pages
Are scribbled
Achromatic dreams
My love
My hopes
My life

You are such a treasured book
All my love, Sister of my heart
(Written by a special sister of my heart...MsAlchemy2...a special gift...I wanted to share.)

Busy doesn't begin to describe it. We've been working since 8 this morning and I have to finish steam cleaning the living room. That will get most of the upstairs floors done...although I still have five more rooms to finish.

We stained a built an adirondack chair my sister gave me for Christmas...and then my brother broke it. Hmmmm... We built the bed...it's a simple platform bed; I took the underdresser from a waterbed, sanded and stained it to a light oak...and left the edges of the drawers dark brown...it looks like I used old burned wood and I love the look. We built the platform and I took 1/4" oak plywood and cut it to make 6" borders all around the bed. I still have to stain the oak....I'll do that tomorrow night....but the bed is just as I imagined it and I love it. We even installed an air conditioner in the upstairs guest room....and hauled boxes of books downstairs. Don't tell anyone...I'm supposed to be eliminating some of those books.

Lots and lots of little jobs got done...not as much as I'd hoped...my brother works five minutes and rests ten....don't tell him I said that...but it's true. It irritated me all weekend. He's leaving for Oregon tomorrow....and wishes he could swing by here on the way home...except he's flying home. I told him he was welcome to come spend several more days, but he refused.

"You know....visiting you is like going to a work camp."

Aw.....you say such sweet things to me.

Actually, he asked me when I took a weekend....to have a weekend. Heck...I don't know. When I have time? Right now there is a lot to do and I'm facing deadlines. Once those deadlines have been met....I'll take some weekends...and evenings...but I'll have to get back into my studying as well. Eventually....it will all fall into place and I won't have so much to tackle....I hope.
