A Leaping Ladybug. Full

 I hope you enjoy my first story. Its my attempt at writing a fable.  A Leaping Ladybug A dreamer's vineyard, and a God in the mud. In a land that has long since died, there are still those who hold onto the belief that one act, no matter how simple, can bring either enlightenment, or total domination. This is the story of their leaping ladybug, and how even the tiniest of creatures has the power to change everything about a world they once believed in. I "When they had me in the cells—” “And thank The Gods you are home John. Isn't that enough?” Silence. Then, he brushed back his hair with two filthy hands and sighed, “Not for me it isn't.” She knew him well. Rebecca realized that it never was.  Where John, always the preacher, had had ideas in the past of how the world was, now, after a vision, he truly understood it.

“A Leaping Ladybug” ACT I

A Leaping Ladybug A God in the mud, and a dying man's vineyard. In a land that has long since died, there are still those who hold the belief that one act, no matter how simple, can bring either joy, or total domination. This is the story of their leaping ladybug, and how even the tiniest of creatures has the power to change everything about a world they once believed in. I "When they had me in the cells—” “And thank The Gods you are home John. Isn't that enough?” Silence. Then, he brushed back his hair with two filthy hands and sighed, “Not for me it isn't.” She knew him well. Rebecca realized that it never was.  John, always a preacher, had had ideas in the past on how the world was, now, after a vision, he truly understood it. And John believed he could make his love see what he saw. “In the cells, I had a dream where I was once again close to somebody I love. You." Rebecca, despite herself, despite this crazy request, smiled. "And so intensely do I love y...

Trying To Arrange My Writings is Stressful

 With jail, and relapse, and moving. Plus the accidental of my old Google Docs. I'm really having a difficult time organizing the writings scattered all over the place for "The Leaping Ladybug Collection".  First holiday I've been free today since July 4th 2024 though. So that's good.  God be with me.  -Joe

I Left

 And now I'm back. And this time it was for me.  Its been a revealing week. I've learned that I can't go back and save the people I've seen die. And that it is not my fault they died. It never was. I can't make somebody love me back. They never did. They never will. Thats ok. I don't care. And I can't go back to change my childhood.  The past is strictly in the past. So I did come back. I've been changing places and starting over for a very long time.  I'm sober again. Tomorrow I'm going to start "The Sobriety Diares" on this blog. Maybe it'll be daily, but maybe weekly.  I will return to AA Sandpoint as well, but I no longer have anything to prove.  Spokane was beautiful as always, but I don't want to make it my home right now.  Everyone told me to go "home". Huh.... how funny and forgein that concept is to me.  "Home" -Joe
