What can I tell you about her? She is bold. When I met her I felt like lightning had struck the chair — I’ve written about suns before, but this woman is full human, full knowledge, full becoming. She strikes when I least expect it, becoming beauty around all of its edges, the tree branch,Continue reading “Perfect Storm”

Patience
What do you do when you want someone, right now, but cannot have them, can only reach out towards them, realize they want to reach, too, but, in the moment, cannot, will not, move? Do you call out their fault, remind them that they can always reach, that plans change, life happens? Do youContinue reading “Patience”
Brooklyn Bridge
Maybe it’s time I delete you from my text messages; Maybe it’s time I scrub you from my skin, the kisses you would have planted down my neck. I can close my eyes and see you in your black tank top, the sun warming our backs, a dozen freckles sprinkled on your shoulder. Continue reading “Brooklyn Bridge”
Sun
You are a star in a sky I have not seen, you are a drop of rain in a hundred deserts and desserts because walking in the rain can be fun with ice cream and an umbrella, no? Your voice plants bits of light under my skin, your slender frame and well-styled hair have meContinue reading “Sun”

Phantom of the Opera
Last night I saw Phantom of the Opera with a friend, front row, all the way on the right. She won the tickets in the Broadway Lottery in New York for less than a third of the price. This is what I learned from the show: Be patient. Be aware. Be kind. Love the light andContinue reading “Phantom of the Opera”
All
It’s all about leaning forward. In the moments fear grabs your neck like a thief and you don’t know where you belong– the sky or the ground– realize that all we can do is lean into the moment. It’s all about being honest with yourself, about yourself. In the times joy cradles youContinue reading “All”
Haiku 2
Today, there is sun. Yesterday, too many clouds. Be grateful for both. March 26, 2016
Be
Being a human– what are we ingrained with? Are we patched up with our fears, long before we meet the spider? Are we made to go hunting for spaceships and the meaning of life? To be is the only answer, the only response, the only real question. So often we feedContinue reading “Be”
