Widdershins:

(sometimes withershins, widershins or widderschynnes) means to take a course opposite that of the sun, going counterclock-wise, lefthandwise, or to circle an object, by always keeping it on the left. It also means "in a direction opposite to the usual," which is how I choose to take it in using it as the title of this blog. We're all in the same world finding our own way.

Memories

A little poetry to mix things up:

Memories
Mariposa moments removed by a gust,
a shimmer dissipating.
Soundless stomach-flutterings of doubt remain
in monarchal landmarks of the mind.
The subject to every object of affection
the dust, scales of the wing,
fall four times flight forever.
Citrus colors catch the attention:
a warning against the attraction.
Ensnared in nets and stifled in chemical jars
they are lost.
Put on display and paraded around,
but can they ever truly match the beauty
of the freedom lost?
