WINFIELD WORD WEAVING

  • Cowboy Skit

  • Two-dog Operation

    “I can’t believe they forgot to take us with them again. They are so absent-minded. What did we do to deserve them?” exclaimed Licorice. “Come on, Kallie, let’s go try and catch them; follow me.” “Okay, let’s go, Licorice, I’ll go this way, and you go that way,” Kallie said excitedly. “No, I said, follow…

  • One small step for Winfield-kind

    One small step for a Winfield, one giant leap for mankind…is what I said as I stepped out of my upstairs window onto the roof and climbed up to the top of my house. I was a bit concerned I might disturb the neighbors; you know, the ones that live under the eaves and have…

  • The Afterwork Drink

    “Dude, What’s up? You workin’ all night, or are you goin’ to call it an evening?” asked Sean. “I’ve got a ton of work left to do and I thought I’d try and catch up. You headin’ out?”, replied Jeff. “No, I thought I’d just stand here in your doorway and ask annoyingly obvious questions…

  • Universal Light Adjustment

    As the artist sat in his favorite chair, sketching to hone his life-long skills and satisfy his unquenchable compulsion, his mind was a cacophony of depressing daily news, a jumbled list of unfinished have to’s, and a litany of unfulfilled want to’s. With such distraction pulling his attention side to side and to and fro,…

  • Cookies

    Cookies, my nemesis, I fight the good fight, dig deep to resist the irresistible pull of the intoxicating, sweet quality, finally succumbing, eagerly cramming the little bites of goodness in my overstuffed mouth, tears of joy streaming down my bulging cheeks, I think to myself, ‘maybe I need to seek help?’

  • My Woods

    The lone hiker picks his way over the wet, glistening trail, his footsteps crunching on the pebble-studded mud floor, capably choosing his course, meandering left, gently twisting right, avoiding bulging root and boot-grabbing rock, as if tip-toeing through unseen life-altering landmines, he suddenly reminds himself to look up. To each side of the well-worn way…

  • Happy New Year – 2015

    Here’s to hoping for better things to come for the new year. It begins inside each of us, then with purpose and effort, we share with those closest to us, in hopes they will pass it on to their loved ones, and so it grows, and blossoms into our hopes and dreams, like a garden…

  • Meditation

    I sit in a dark room, alone with my thoughts, contemplating life, its meaning, my meaning. Slowly, I inhale life-giving air, my chest swelling to capacity, energy rushing through my veins, I exhale. I’m calm, and I feel my heart beating rhythmically, purposefully, to its destined end. The sound of my pulse, inaudible, travels out…

  • Watch Your Step

    There are so many interesting things in the world, seen or unseen, more interesting even than personal epiphanies. For example, did you know there is a creature that inhabits this planet that can move its body at over 2100 km/hr? That’s almost 1305 mph! Its a tiny mite with a name not so tiny that…
