WORD WARRIOR DAVIES-TIGHT
A Visit To My Past Through A Film INVERNESS, SCOTLAND A city on Scotland’s northeast coast, where the River Ness meets the Moray Firth. It’s the largest city and the cultural capital of the Scottish Highlands. Its Old Town features 19th-century Inverness Cathedral, the mostly 18th-century Old High Church and an indoor Victorian Market selling […]
I will prevail. No matter the consequences. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
I looked in the mirror, and for the first time I saw an old lady be me, and immediately zoomed to the teenager who met me in that mirror – like the teenager I used to be, looking in the mirror now looking at the old woman who is she. We both laughed. Wow. Look […]
I am in the head of all life past, present and future. I share the DNA of plants as well as every animal. I share the quarks, atoms and molecules and everything before, after and in between all that existed, exists and will in the future exist in the universe. That’s how opening oneself to […]
Like me, hate me, be indifferent to me, I don’t care about your view of ME. I share my spirit, not my physical, emotional or intellectual self. That’s what you wanted right? You wanted me to be a faceless person and speak from another dimension on what I see? Then someone steals it and puts […]
I chose love over money at every juncture throughout my life. That’s why I don’t have any money. I am in a perpetual state of being in love. I am in love with life and all that encompasses.
Too bad the American Negro chose and demanded of the world that they be called Black, when their true color is brown. By choosing the black rather than the brown label for themselves they opened the door to competition south of the USA border. That was a huge strategical blunder. What were they thinking, that […]
My age is a constant reminder of my mortality. Old age is like an incurable disease with an expiration date. When we’re young it’s the crossing of the street or getting into a car that could end it all prematurely. It helps to lift the doom knowing the odds that it probably won’t happen and […]
What? We? Who’s we? Are you one person or a multitude of like-minded people in one person? How would I know how you individually feel and then how a multitude of like-minded people inside of you feel? How would I know that? Did you tell me, specifically, or even generally, how you feel about anything? […]
Sometimes I get so sick of people’s endless quirks. Then I realize I have a few of my own. Yes, sometimes I like Humble Pie. It’s an acquired taste. Not for everyone. It pairs well with Chateau d’Yquem.
Isolation became over time a place of comfort – a place from where I became most productive – a place I grew to call a home I own. Now I look to own a different home. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
Most people perceive God as someone who can perform humanly impossible feats of power at will or whim or urging that is communicated with or without a request or a demand from a conglomerate of molecules, atoms and chemical reactions in an organism called a human. That’s not my God.
Grandma and Grandpa long before I was born. James Frederick Davies and Katherine Rose Germonte. Grandpa’s father was born in England and his mother in Ireland. Grandma was born in Lithuania with Russian, Ukrainian and Polish roots. When Dad and Mom bought their old house and Grandma and Grandpa moved to one that was all […]
I love balance. Not as in good vs evil and settling for somewhere in between. That’s compromise. There are endless shades of good that have no connection to evil that I just happen to like to balance – not as in a juggling act, but as a necessity desired by me to bring out the […]
Can I hide inside your heart for a while? ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
I’m a territorial daughter of a natural born engineer and a mother who possessed exceptional reading, intellectual and organizational talents, both of whom were savy enough to follow their own minds in their own ways. The two left a mark on me that nobody except me can own. Not even them. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight […]
SHARON’S ALL ANIMAL – unpredictable for the sake of her own survival – like all animals. She’s not afraid like we are – of that connection. We fear it. She recognizes it. Embraces it. Accepts that which she cannot change. She is it. She has all the animal moves – the gender moves too. It’s […]
Once you laughed with me, and I thought it the most beautiful sound I ever heard. I still do, and throw my head back in remembrance, cherishing that time – forever in my soul. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
I don’t really want to be connected to a group. I don’t know why I’m that way. I love to be around people. All kinds of people. It doesn’t even matter if they’re nice. Maybe because my DNA matches so many regions around the world – and I draw on all of them by the […]
My grandfather was born and raised in Inverness, Quebec Canada, yet my DNA results do not reflect me as being Canadian. I was born and raised in the Unites States of America, yet there is no DNA marker that proves that I am an American. Canada and the United states are not ethnicities. The ethnicities […]
Many years ago while in nursing school and doing my maternity part of schooling, our teacher discussed pelvis sizes regarding ease of birth. She pointed me out and said, “Sharon, you’ll sneeze out your babies” – meaning I had a wide pelvis. At 69 years old I can attest to the fact that I sneezed […]
Merry Christmas Jim & Nancy!
I decide what offends me, not you nor any person nor any law nor any local custom, religion, race, gender, policy or practice, nor influence based on the status of anyone or any institution. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
My mind is growing like wild flowers in July should. MERRY CHRISTMAS! ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
My entire life is handmade by me. Every facet, nugget. Every thought, action, reaction is perfectly designed at every juncture to fit the need of the moment. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
I’m okay when you’re okay. That’s how I fly. If you’re okay with enslavement, torture and slaughter, then you’re not okay. That means I’m not okay. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
Cree, when I asked I was told through a physical medium – scrabble tiles I used during my rehabilitation from a toxic brain injury caused by toxic molds. I wasn’t too pleased with that, considering their hunting nature, but then all Indians share that nature. I still don’t like it. Canadian. On my Grandfather’s side. […]
Create connotes willy-nilly. There’s nothing willy-nilly about my process. I engineer everything I do – the entire recipe developing process is engineered. I don’t cross my fingers, take a deep breath or hold my breath, pray, hope, wish or hand it over to the universe. I take control at every juncture. I don’t try something […]
I’m not enough of any one thing to claim anything for myself based on heritage. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
I don’t stay mad at people. Never have – even as a child. Others would get mad at me because of it. I never saw the good in it. It wasn’t in me to carry the stuff. I don’t know the why of it – only that I had no interest in getting even. Even […]
Sometimes I think I’m being lazy when I’m really just being efficient. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
Upon choosing a healthier more compassionate diet, you will be challenged by those who have not yet taken that step, to defend your decision to not eat animals. They will argue that your animal-free diet contradicts your other animal using behaviors, thus making the issue of killing animals not worthy of consideration. They will point […]
Wind songs whisper through summer sands brash promises of winter snow nights melting in memories of that which spring failed miserably to deliver. Howling, piercing pain tunnels through funnels of hardened flesh frozen by air–whistling a tune one prefers not to hear. A tune one cannot help but stutter upon as it stops in mid-air. […]
Hard words flowing from a soft pen, turning fondly into thoughts–as God, my God, guides with fluid snow that which will melt every heart. I want to continue, not ever having cared for endings–happy or otherwise. And I will do as I desire, whether imprisoned or free–it doesn’t matter. Smooth as black glass rippling in […]
I am not just the messenger, but also the receiver of the message. So what God has to say through me to you is for me too. In that regard, I can interpret the message in terms of what it means to me personally. I cannot, however, interpret the message for you. I would not […]
AN INTRODUCTION In my early years, whether reading for enjoyment or for school, and I read a lot, I rarely read the introduction to a book or anything about the author. Neither did I like to see previews to a movie. I had no interest in the overview of the entire work, a summary or […]
MY ONLY GOAL I have only one goal in life. That goal is to free God. That’s it. I figure if I can free God, then the ripples, trickles and undulations created by that action / movement / force/ will free everything else. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
The word artist becomes prejudicial when everyone thinks painter when they read it. All life and non-life is art. The being or the rock is created with the purpose of expressing its uniqueness through the totality of its existence. There are no amateurs to that end – only contributors. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
You want to explore. I know you do. It’s like being a kid again isn’t it? That feeling of going outside, into your environment on any given day as a kid, to explore the world beyond your house or apartment to see what lies beyond the boundaries your parents set for you? What a wonderful, […]
A DIFFERENT SLANT A different slant on the news, a different slant on life, a different slant on the world as we once knew it, as we currently know it and as we will come to know it – that’s what Word Warrior Davies-Tight is all about. The slant that everybody overlooked, because they were […]
When I write artistically, I write in many voices. Could me yours, somebody else’s or mine. The goal is to communicate the human animal’s and the non-human animal’s experience. When I use the word “I”, once again it could be you, somebody else or me speaking. In that sense I assume a conduit role to […]
EVERYTHING I DO (write, cook, paint, and otherwise create), I DO FROM AN ARTIST’S PERSPECTIVE, LOOKING ALWAYS FOR THE ESSENCE, the core, the foundation, the truth behind the facts as they present themselves for interpretation and further expression. THE MOST I can give you is to understand your prejudice. THE LEAST I can give you […]
I’m tough. I’m not rough. There’s a difference. Know that difference going forward, if your goal is to change your community, your world, into a better place for everyone. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
My mother wanted me meek. So, I was meek for her. But I’m not meek. It’s not my nature. I’m not a lion, where I’m going to eat you up. I’m not a lamb either. Maybe I’m just the animal I am. Can you accept that? I’m just the animal I am. ~ Sharon Lee […]
I am the straw that made the camel stronger – by taking the bale of hay off her/his back. I am not the straw that breaks anybody. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight
I’ll share a secret with you about myself, that I’ve never communicated to anyone. Years ago while still very young I read somewhere, either in a newspaper or magazine or book, that if somebody could actually write the way their mind actually thinks they’d make a million dollars. I’ve been trying to make that million […]
