In the quiet rhythm of the rails, a #train driver’s steady hand offers the gentlest #veer, guiding us safely through fog, delay, and the indifferent dark.
To those unseen hands at the controls: thank you for the ordinary miracles of arrival.

Others say that we rise again
but the sky will always remain above our heads
and birds will always migrate
and we can ride to the rhythm of the ocean
and marvel at sunsets
or look in awe,

I sought out a local mystic for answers, but #veered left, and spent my 30 minutes flirting with the sultry mistress of the dark. She batted away my advances like noisome flies, while the fog of her incense filled the room. I awoke on some nameless road with one card in my shoe. The Fool.

"Life is a river, love its sudden bend. We think we steer, but often we just #veer - into vulnerability, into wonder, into someone else's gravity.

And in that turn, we find we're more alive than ever.

In the quiet drift of existence, we chase straight lines; yet meaning often arrives only when life quietly #veers. The detour isn't error; it's where the soul remembers it was never meant for maps. 🌌

Day 20: #24Xmasreposts
This robe drifts open like an invitation… the teal lace beneath clings softly, every curve outlined just enough to linger in your mind. My fingers glide slowly down, pausing at the edge of what’s hidden, waiting for the moment you decide to trace the same path.

A passive push won’t build much speed.
A murmur's hard to hear or heed.
Indifferent seas don't make big waves.
Sometimes it's taking stands that saves.

I hear the murmur
of birds coming together
for strength in the dark

Your room is dark,
the only light
numbers on a nightstand clock.
Your mind replays
a nameless song,
a broken chord that will not stop.
You feel her shiver in your arms—
her shoulder blades, your fingertips
The only sound: your whispered love,
#murmur of a quiet breath

Lying here, thighs parted just enough… feeling your eyes trace every curve.
That whisper of lace barely holding on.
Make me #murmur your name against the sheets.

Red apple with pale yellow dappling sits upright on a white plate, its stem angled, photographed in the soft natural light of an approaching morning snowstorm.

Memories
A river run
Sweeping all
you knew aside
Leaves debris
Sodden rooms
Washed up
In plain sight
Words never said
Spoken only in
One’s head.
#Dappled regrets
Dusty remembering
Abandoned
Gather as
you sweep
Days lived
never spent
Softly unto
shadows
Turn off
the light
As you
leave

Sometimes while knitting
I come across a dapple
Of difference in the skein,
And my mind whirls
To a scene of sheep,
Smell of lanolin on
Me as my newborn
Sleeps, rising in memory,
And I think this is
Why we are here,
To touch skin to wool
To skin again, love made
Visible and clear.

Ingeborg Hochmair was born #OTD in 1953.

Dr. Hochmair (w/husband, Erwin) designed/developed the first micro-electronic multi-channel cochlear implant restoring useful hearing to those with severe/profound deafness. #wow

1st woman in Austria to receive a PhD in electrical engineering. #WomenInSTEM
A color portrait photograph of Dr. Ingeborg Hochmair, an Austrian electrical engineer and co-inventor of the first microelectronic multi-channel cochlear implant. She has shoulder-length light hair streaked with gray, parted slightly off-center. She has warm blue eyes, a gentle smile, and fair skin with subtle freckles. She wears a black velvet blazer or top with a delicate silver chain necklace. The background is softly blurred, showing an indoor setting with large windows and natural daylight, creating a bright, modern professional atmosphere. She looks directly at the camera with a confident, approachable expression.
