Lady Jabberwocky 
My body is an everchanging and evolving home that is constantly in motion. In truth, I am protected by hypervigilance from destruction. My inner world thrives amidst the chaos around me as I glide through everyday life. However, there are moments when I wonder if time is moving through me or passing me by. Sometimes I wonder if I’m truly destined to remain behind the others, but then I realize they are rushing to win a race that doesn’t exist. They are always in a hurry to go nowhere because they forget to take in what’s around them. They desperately search for a destination that is much too grand to comprehend. An end goal that will forever in perpetuity be impenetrable to them. I find myself both blessed and cursed by my knowledge because life is much too clear in slow motion. Sometimes I long for the grainy fog of blissful ignorance. But then I remember that I am merely a turtle with a weak constitution.

Turtles are fun 🙂 https://wp.me/s82jG2-turtle
“Turtle, turtle in your shell,
You aren’t looking very well.
Are you feeling kinda blah?
Stick out your tongue and please say AAAH.
Oh, my heavens”, he did emote
“There’s a frog down in your throat!
Drink this tea brewed out of myrtle
Feel better quick, my little turtle!”

Hi Lady Jabberwocky. I’ve written a poem about an aspidochelone, a huge sea turtle of legend.

Yes, I am! 🙂 Right now, I’m caught in a never-ending editing vortex. But hopefully one day, my humble whodunit will be finished and published!

Ah yes, the never-ending editing! I have 3 novels in draft that are languishing for the same reason. I look forward to reading your published murder mystery!
