  • Walking through the doorway

    How calm it feels waiting for the mountain to erupt. My senses are overloaded and body braced for the erratic unknown set to unfold with determined vengeance and fear. Wielded by a William the Conqueror, I wait for the cuts and bruises. Self and the surrounding consciousness – we all watch the fires being put…

  • Shoulders Back

    I woke from a dream. Watching a ballet class I had intended to take. At the end of the class instructed by an older demanding dancer we lined up in to lines to leave the class. From behind I felt the gentle pressing of the young man behind me. His torso was guiding my own…

  • Stopped

    When the pipes got stopped up, feces and sewer water everywhere – my way forward was clear. Clean up the area, fix it myself and if not find a Plummer. It didn’t matter to me that I would most likely pay for it physically. Old rags, work clothes, paper, got thrown. Immediately – the answer…

    Thinking over the 2024 timeline the phrase “pushing up daisies” came to mind. An active… growth from the debris of death, the past manure and bailing out of “stuff”. The past few days I’ve been culling my mementos from the attic tubs, photos sent to me by my sister to connect me to my family,…

  • Sparkle

    Embracing the now. All this to say – now is the time to break with a past that no longer serves you – physically. Because how you relate to the world you inhabit without all the stuff.. will give you peace in this limited time you have to exist in this form.

  • 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…
