Inspiration comes in fits and spurts, laced with time, warmed with the heart. Each of my offerings began with a whisper, a pause to see, hear, and reflect.

A Spoonful of Sugar
A Spoonful of Sugar
Sweet laughter
Brightens the day
Written in the non-existent rule book
Never take yourself too seriously
Joy is life’s sugar

Storm of Transitions
Storm of Transitions
Just before..
Water laden clouds
Anticipation..
Crackling air
Balance gone
Black clouds
Confusion reigns
Sky clears
Wind dies to a breeze
You wonder about worry
Now gone
Untangle the debris
Arrive

Before the Scene is Set
Before the Scene is Set
The mind visualizes
PUlls pieces from
Experience
Taste, touch, smell
The look ignites
The senses
The heart savors meaning
A bowl of comfort

What Awaits

Adventure lies
Within the covers
Of the unknown.
A blanket of possibilities
A casual conversation
A twist in the road
A hand reaching out
The unknown uncovers
An adventure

About Abbe
Abbe Rolnick grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. Her first major cultural jolt occurred at age 15 when her family moved to Miami Beach, Florida. To find perspective, she climbed the only non-palm tree at her condo complex and wrote what she observed. History came alive with her exposure to Cuban culture. After attending Boston University, she lived in Puerto Rico, where she owned a bookstore. Once Stateside, she capitalized on the knowledge she gained as an independent bookstore owner and worked for one of the finest bookstores, Village Books, in Bellingham, Washington. Once a CEO of a manufacturing firm and owner of a healthy foods café, she is now retired and spends her time writing.
