holding on
”Why are you holding on.” A simple sentence. The yoga teacher in my dream walked me through showing me how my hands were clenched my shoulders held and by whispering tenderly into my ear and then licking my ear – how touch had left my sense memory. Each moment this young man gently pointed out…

Steps
After the election, with no media coverage since Wednesday morning, the helplessness that is swirling around me wants to be put to use. With that there is a need to store energy for the months to come as we all will be called to participate to “insist” on equality, “resist” the mind numbing impotence thrust…

Order?
What is it that the great masses of my countryman base their lives in fear and want to be “ruled” by Tasmanian devil with no thought of the other. The ego reigns at the moment… or has the spotlight. Embracing the “we”, I have to go forward. More grief, more loss, is life a constant…

Owler
With wide glassy mirror eyes, I greet the horizon. A wet, cloudy horizon hanging over a turbulent sea. Safely in bed, cat at my side, dog sleeping on my leg…darkness surrounds the bedroom. The candle is lit upon your alter. It’s calling you home, back to this world. We’re both being called back to this…

Waking up
After two days of zombie like state, waking up, there was a level of awareness I haven’t felt in days. Walking the dog I could see farther than my feet, feel the air and walk without the heavy chainmail of illness. I cherish this moment as I know it could slip away in a matter…
