The Official Website For Auriol Hays
Many in our family possess this gift. Many dream while others can see both asleep and awake. I can when I write music or deeply connect to another. None of which really help. At best I can see different paths. Alternative or parallel realities. For example, I already know the person I have married in […]
I decided to share some of my favorite things, starting with movies. The movie in a nutshell: finding love during a global pandemic. There are scenes in this movie I can relate to, the intimacy shared in particular. The movie is hopeful above all else. The soundtrack is sparse, hauntingly beautiful in places. A movie […]
A light-hearted blog post. No Corona or Daddy is dead business. Promise. My sister has some serious atoning to do. She has, consistently I might add, suggested the worse horror movies ever. Yes, the kind where nothing happens or we end up falling asleep. Of course she loves those movies as she hates a good […]
The only person in my immediate vicinity who understands every bit of what I am feeling is Gilda. So I walk to her house and sit on her floor while she speaks. When I can’t find words I like hearing people talk. I enjoy the way the words spill over me, unseating all the things […]
Before I share a small bit of writing I want to share something funny that happened a few minutes ago. The entire house was filled with family, my sister and the kids arrived, my father’s memorial is taking place rather soon. I walked into the lounge, the TV on full blast while my Mother and […]
Daddy’s dead. Two hours ago. I wonder as I write if this is who I am. One who seeks the solidity of words, as though they can anchor me here more than any person could. Words are safer and music safest. My Mother is a rock of course, her faith wrapped firmly around her with […]
It takes little to make me happy. Right now I am ecstatic! Gilda, founder of TLC Alzheimer’s Homes and my adopted granny just gave me….the coolest ever ….pair of woolen gloves in turquoise green! Along with recipes I must try out and spices. Oh and a matching turquoise woolen beanie!! Bliss. I am so happy! […]
Random thoughts in my notebook. Some remain as is, others become music. * The cost of… I cannot pay this price,this toll you taught me of. If you are silent bad things won’t happen Auriol. Just pretend you are not there and close your eyes. One year saw that price plummet and skyrocket as brooms […]
See the picture on top eh? That was taken a year ago and is the happiest I ever was (so far) in my career. Brace yourself people. For many pictures of my bad hair and all my weird thoughts in general ( I mean more of my weirdness). Between George Floyd, Corona, lockdown and all […]
I know their names and faces. All the people who should go straight to hell and not collect money as they go around the bend. People who have not only pissed me off but injured me to such an extent I banished them to the outer edges of my mind. And still I was friendly […]
