What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

a long life
.
now
that the kids are
grown
living their best lives
with growing families of their own
this nest
has become so quiet
now I have three cats
a dog and
a bird, named Bean
the thought of living a long life
surrounded by this menagerie
leads me to wish simply this…
may I live long enough to outlive
every
soul that 
still needs me

A pi-sequence inspired poem with the following syllable count by line: 3.14159265358979323

Today while preparing breakfast for my furry, feathered menagerie, my three cats, as they do every morning, gathered to encourage me to get on with it.

These three, who were not part of our plans, but chose us ( as they say ), and me, being the softy that I am, could not bear to leave them in the street.

The mom, Matilda, and two of her kittens, Frankie and Schrodinger (two other kittens were adopted by a co-worker…thank goodness!) are living the pampered life of a house cat!

I am increasingly aware that am getting older. Since our other cats lived long lives of 18, 20, and 23…I hope I outlive this trio. I am so grateful they showed up under my porch seven and a half years ago, They are lovely company. I suppose it’s silly. But can you blame me? Just look at those faces! May I live long so they can prosper! BTW…they are my glimmers today.

Mom, Matilda walking away on the left, Frankie giving me a talking to, and Schrödinger our black ninja cat who is always on the perimeter observing!

Scenes from a random sunset on the cusp of night. ~kat 2026

And a silly, deadly serious pi sequence poem…

poke the bear
.
and 
you’ll be sorry
bears
have left the woodlands
they are roaming the neighborhoods now
hungry…
no one is safe…no one
the gnome department 
has declared
“do not poke the bears 
they possess free reign to pillage,
to terrorize the citizenry”
by order of the great pig,
commander in thief, grand pooh-bah
maga-phants 
declare
allegiance 

~kat

A crazy day…so many things hitting the fan inour world. How I love a red sunset to help me wind down.

Much love, peace, and dusky glimmers to you! It’s getting a bit messy in the light of day. I call it the storm before the calm. Be kind and remember to breathe. ✨✨✨💚💚💚✨✨✨

Rain in the Bramlett Mountain Foothills (a few moments of zen and healing) ~kat 2026

lying eyes
.
they
would like us all
to
accept their bold lies
to move on, surrender, get on with
our lives
but we can’t unsee it
the hot truth screaming
from our phones
her last words, her smile
kindness snuffed out in an instant
by hate wielding a gun, trained to kill,
from every angle, time-lapsed, freeze-framed
they can’t hide 
we can’t,
won’t forget

~kat
In memory of Renee Nicole Good, may she rest in peace.

I woke this morning to rain. It will be an all day event. Gray, muted skies and the rhythmic tapping of raindrops on the soft, and growing softer, saturated ground.

I often view rain as tears from heaven. This weekend especially, it is fitting that the universe is bereft as it witnesses the horrors we humans inflict on one another by day and candlelit parks and byways, like stars fallen to the earth, flickering, as those seeking answers and justice gather shoulder to shoulder by night to remember the innocents lost to hate.

I’ll close today’s post with this second poem inspired by the rain…

raining tears
.
i
stand here looking
up
face drenched in raindrops
hiding the tears I’ve held for too long
cold, hot
wet, my raw eyes, burning
my heart breaking for
this world gone mad
may we all
find peace and healing
and the resolve to stand clear-eyed
in the breach between good and evil
unflinching and unblinking
united to take our country back
much love, peace,
healing,
and glimmers…

I’m trying, truly trying to hold onto hope. This almost full year (one more day!) of glimmers has helped me. I hope if you have joined me on this quest, that the glimmers I’ve shared, and the ones you have discovered and shared with me as well, have helped you during this dark time. Keep the lights on my friends. 💚

day 362 ~ daily prompt

What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

Mr. Bean, age 24 years, hates getting photographed. He ruffles his feathers and hides when I pull out my phone. Smart boy!

long in tooth
.
gray 
thinning hair, smile
lines,
soft belly, pale skin
the mirror tells a morbid story
one foot
in the grave, clock ticking 
but my soul knows no age
she twinkles
from my clear blue eyes
that girl with big dreams, still reaching,
taking up space like she owns the place…
she’s earned it, every inch

I tried to take a break from the news today. It has gone from bad to worse. And it never stops! I am outraged by recent events as the truth breaks through the lies. I plan to stay the course. To use my voice. And on that note, I caught a few seconds of Gabby singing the song of her tribe. In this world of liars, be a Gabby, pure, fearless, and brave as only a tiny little pint of a dog can be.

Much love, peace, kindness, and glimmers to you!

Gabby…Call of the Wild (with Mr. Bean egging her on in the background!)

One more glimmer…you know you need it! Tonight’s beautiful, beautiful sky. As I gaze at the stars I imagine you, dear reader, looking at those same stars. Here’s looking at YOU! 💚😊💚

day 360

By Kat Myrman

If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say?

a billboard
.
THIS! 
whatever the
HELL
this IS…NOT NORMAL!
(hoping for an intervention…please)
thank you

(using pi digits 3.141592 to help me with this prompt response)

Humor often helps in the most serious of times. Today we remember a day most Americans will never forget. Five years ago DT called his band of thugs to Washington and after stirring them into a frenzy sent them to the capital to interrupt the peaceful validation of the election of Biden as the next president. We all saw it. We watched in horror as an angry mob desecrated the grounds, and called for the execution of the vice president and madam speaker of the house. They went so far as to erect gallows and mow down law enforcement officers who tried to stop them with flagpoles, and other makeshift weapons.

Over the years the republicans would like us to believe that this was a peaceful demonstration…their constituents merely touring the capital. But no amount of doctored, rewritten history will change what we all witnessed. Five years later Trump is back in office, angry, vengeful, unstoppable in his determination to amass as much power and riches for himself…that is, as much as the congress and the courts will let him steal. At this point they’ve invited him into the vault and told him to clean it out. The people of this country be damned. The presidency is a means to an end for him and his ilk. It appears we are heading into another year of chaos worst than the first.

On another note…one of our mystery snails crossed over to the other side…but not before leaving a cluster of eggs to help keep our aquarium clean. I found it on the bottom of the tank the other morning, quickly intervened and set up a make-shift hatchery following instructions from YouTube. Whatever did we do before the internet?! Fingers crossed a few of them survive. Our tank like the White House is full of shit that needs cleaning up! What a timely glimmer. Nature truly does take care of its own!

Much love, peace, and glimmers to you! And baby snails. Lots of them we hope!
