Under a dark moon,  I finished some spiritual  work with a friend but in the process of saying goodnight, she pulled up a very old fear of mine. It was a simple phrase that I was not expecting and a feeling that I’m desperately trying…

Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Tilt. I have a new way of looking at things that go wrong. I’m looking at them now as “course corrections.” These can  be  simple  things  like  the  behavior  of  a server at a favorite family restaurant might be taken as a sign not to return-ever. …

Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Tilt. My muse has stirred. She’s filled with the most unusual  daydreams today,  reminders  of  rituals  performed and aid sent at the request of good friends, and she’s urging me to write songs that, on this  Full Moon night, I have no music to.                 Yet.…

Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Tilt. Things are coming to an end, unexpected  things. I’m disconnecting  from so many things that were so important before.

Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Tilt. Just a message for someone. It’s job-related  but not entirely job-related.  Whoever  you are, you know this is yours Message: 1. Do not sell yourself short. 2. Do not sell your soul.

Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Third Degree Tilt. I’d forgotten  how  beautiful  and  peaceful  a  sunrise over water could be. I’ve spent the last 20 years gloating over my wonderful sunsets. Maybe it’s time for a lot of change in my life. But I don’t know if it’s sunrises or sunsets or just…
