TL's Moments

The clocks move ahead, nature begins to wake up, and the earth returns to a place of balance where the day and night are in total alignment.  Did you know that the word “equinox’ comes from two Latin words meaning equal and night and that it marks the two times each year when day and night are the same length in all parts of the world.  

A time of new life, renewal and rebirth and – as the Italians say – “renascita.”  The flowers begin to bloom, the days become longer and, in general, we feel happier, more in balance, and ready to plant new seeds.  

On March 21, I took a creative writing class at the Sea Cliff Library which helped to reanimate some old seeds that I planted a few years ago.  

I started to create a story called The Adventures of Polly Pennecamp. I shared a little taste with the group and I would like to share with you all.  

Polly and her pals go on an adventure to unlock the secret portal on the Third Level at Grand Central Terminal.  In order to unlock the portal, they must solve many puzzles and riddles starting with the secrets of the whispering walls. They encounter many odd characters and obstacles along the way, but that doesn’t stop them. Their curiosity and determination stay the course and it pays off when they piece it all together and enter the mysterious Third Level.

The past few weeks – with everyone talking about new beginnings – I heard this message in yoga class: Connect your curiosity.  

I hope to connect my curiosity and dig deeper into my creative story and get this story to blossom.

Perhaps it will blossom while I sit, surrounded by spring flowers and new growth, on the porch.
