By Diana May Waldman – WorldWide Hippies–I had a nightmare last night. I was walking down the street in my tight, white pants and this big red ball was chasing me. Not only was it chasing me, it wanted to land on my crotch. You know–white pants, big red splotch on my crotch. Nothing screams louder than a big red splotch on your pants to let the world know that you are bleeding like a dead pig. And we all know that this could have been prevented if we had used Tampax brand tampons instead of Playtex brand tampons.By Diana May Waldman – WorldWide Hippies–I had a nightmare last night.

Sometimes I wonder about colors. Why blue, the soft color of the sky and the crystal of water, is also the feeling of being sad. And why yellow, bright, warm and bursting is having no courage. Why red is passionate, heat and fire is bloody and blushing. And black, opaque, dark, mysterious and sensual. And why are yo u a rainbow– complex with colors all blended and shining?Sometimes I wonder about colors. Why blue, the soft color of the sky and the crystal... more

– Sometimes, it piles up. Sometimes women get tired. Tired of fighting. Tired of bleeding.

I tossed and turned last night. I was thinking about my father. For the most part, I am estranged from him. By choice, of course. He was a violent alcoholic, when I was growing up. As a child, I couldn’t escape him or his unpredictable behavior. As an adult I could.I tossed and turned last night. I was thinking about my father. For the most part, I... more

It’s been a difficult week in keeping up the howl. I had to step back and look for the bigger picture. And I am still looking for it and not sure I can find it right now.
Maybe, in some ways, I still tend to be a little naive. Yet, I find some comfort in the fact that I taught my children well.
I’ve always been open with my children about gays and lesbians. I taught them from a young age what it meant to be gay and that we should all accept one another. They grew up never caring who was gay and who wasn’t. It was just never anything they gave much thought too.It’s been a difficult week in keeping up the howl. I had to step back and look... more

I am perfectly aware of my age. I am 49-teen and holding. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Twice in one week, I’ve been called a “middle aged woman.”
And I was called that by young females.
I scratched my head and wondered—did these young females have any idea that I, too, was once their age? That I wasn’t always a middle aged woman.I am perfectly aware of my age. I am 49-teen and holding. That’s my story and... more

With a cup of coffee in hand, I stared out my kitchen window, watching the first real snowfall of the year. It seemed quiet and I decided not to put on any music or look for a distraction this morning.
I watched the snow collect on top of the swimming pool. I thought of the summer nights — swimming, back floating, staring up at the sky, the full moon, imagining the stars were brighter than they were, disguised by the city lights, faint and faltering. Searching for my favorite constellations, Orion, the three starts in his belt.With a cup of coffee in hand, I stared out my kitchen window, watching the first real... more
