On The Dark.
SnapDragon originally posted this on Wise & Shine, formerly known as Pointless Overthinking. . . . I’m afraid of the dark. Like, for real. And it’s not because I think there are trolls in the basement, or Civil War ghosts in the attic. (But—ahem—now that I’ve revived that thought, I might crawl into bed even earlier tonight.) […]

Shh.
Just Another Day in Paradise, Yo. . . . Hi. How are you, Dear Reader? How do you feel today: body, mind, and soul? Pause. Think. Answer honestly. Me? I’m doing just fine, thanks. I’m currently sitting on our RV love seat, clicking past the miles somewhere between Ohio and Indiana. Sweet Baby Snap is […]

Last Gasp.
Oh, Winter. I do love you. . . . There’s something about the last gasp of winter that I absolutely adore. Because even though it’s technically springtime–what with the equinox being over and all–we northeastern folks know that pretty much doesn’t mean shit. And while there are usually a handful of truly glorious, 70-degree days […]

October: A Month in Review.
So umm. . . yeah. I was going to do this for each month in 2021. This is the second time I remembered. Oh well. So it goes. . . . 1. Trick or Treat, Yo. October is my favorite month, and pretty much always has been. It’s mysterious somehow, which comforts a literary old-soul […]

Chip Lips.
I’ve been eating barbecue chips like they’re goin’ outta style, yo. (But that’s not what this post is about. Better read on. . .) . . . Hi. I’m perched here in our RV, cozied up in fruit-punch-colored sweatpants, the dim hum of the heater droning on in an inexplicably comforting way. It’s unseasonably cold […]

Whatcha Been Up To?
‘Cuz we all whittle away the days somehow. . . . I feel like every time someone asks, What’ve you been up to? I’m at a loss for a substantial answer. I mean, what have I been up to? The days seem to blur together in a stream of chores and worry, interrupted momentarily by […]

I Like to Play.
There doesn’t always need to be an end. . . . Just play, yo. Sing it. Doodle it. Pluck it. Tinker and tweak. Sketches. Snapshots. Scattered notes and whatnots. Engage with the here and now. Play and play and play. . . . SnapDragon is an educator, artist, and lover of life. Follow Snippets of […]

The Dirt.
Sometimes I just want to dig my hands in a fragrant, saturated soil. I want to feel the granules in my skin rivets; the cold mud seeping stories of the earth. Blood flows; Air circulates; Eyelashes stand guard. Hello. . . . SnapDragon is a writer, artist, and nighttime worrier. Follow Snippets of SnapDragon for […]

Three Tiny Victories.
Hey hey hey! Look who’s posting at this late hour! Awake past 10:30?! Snap’s living on the edge, yo. And since I’m here—more or less to make myself feel good about posting something—I may as well focus on the good. Today’s Three Tiny Victories: 1. I did not succumb to my Usual Sunday Blues. Almost […]

Whatcha Planting?
Every moment of every day is filled with energy. Happiness. Sadness. Exhilaration. Apathy. Life. Death. The only control I have in this world lies within my own self. Think about that. My mind. My body. My actions. For every day we awake and arise, we sow a little seed that will one day bloom. May […]
