ruth’s wn entry: loving autumn.

(photo taken on Monday, October 29, 2007 from my back yard)  There's something about this time of year that resonates inside of me.  I think it's the slowing down of it all.  The preparing for what's to come.   The changes outside that make me think about the changes within. Today I noticed the tumbling leaves, the… Continue reading ruth’s wn entry: loving autumn.

Stacey’s WN Entry: They don’t grow back in twosies-twosies

I started doing it when I was 24. I vowed to stop doing it about 100 times. I'm 30 now and I'm still doing it... I pull out any gray hair that sprouts from my scalp. I mean, for pete's sake, I'm only 30. Why should I have to deal with these things!??! Some people… Continue reading Stacey’s WN Entry: They don’t grow back in twosies-twosies

One of my students e-mailed me a few hours ago asking me if I read a piece of her writing that she gave to me (to read) on Thursday. I read it and was moved for two reasons. #1. She reacted to the world (i.e., the news and a conversation she had with her mom… Continue reading Reacting to the World

ruth’s wn entry: grandma poems

So, I've been trying to write a poem for my grandma to mail to her along with this photo.  Over a year ago she had a stroke & although it's difficult for her to communicate, I know she likes the mail.  I want my poem to show the qualities of my grandma that my dad says he sees in me. … Continue reading ruth’s wn entry: grandma poems

WN Entry: A gift that really sticks in my memory

My grandmother passed away nearly seven months ago. In the days prior to her death she was lucid. I tried asking her lots of questions about her life, but she was in pain and didn't really feel like answering me. I even asked her, "Tell me something you've never told me before." She came up… Continue reading WN Entry: A gift that really sticks in my memory

ruth’s wn entry: finally home.

I must say, this photo led to an unexpected place & I'm quite tempted not to post, because it's personal.  However, I don't have time to write another one . . . so here it is -- a look deep into my heart. Finally home.  Finally together.  After more than two weeks of missing Dad, he… Continue reading ruth’s wn entry: finally home.

WN Entry: Rhode Island Sunrise

As I was placing my bags in the backseat of my car, I looked up at the sky. It was a majestic array of colors, almost as heavenly as aurora bourealis. I paused and took a deep breath, feeling the crisp New England Air fill my lungs. Ahhhh, autumn! This is my favorite season because… Continue reading WN Entry: Rhode Island Sunrise
