Mercury Man Sam came into my mind early this morning on his liquid silver wings. He has a charming gaze and his eyes are full of wit, though I never could tell Whether he was mocking me or not. As the day progressed my mind cleared itself of the memory of mercury wings. I have decided he held no malice. He will always be remembered for his brilliance.
In other news, the white Christmas cactus in our front window is in full bloom this morning. Its name is a misnomer because it will bloom whenever the conditions are right.
On the other side of this bay the white orchid has ten blooming flowers. The peach orchid has two. The peach one put on its full show in March.
This white orchid has 10 flowers today. The peach one (not pictured) has 2.
My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
