Hopes for the blog:
offer up the wild intersectedness of lived experience and engage others in creative, expressive, perhaps irreverant, hopefully playful, and respectful encounters....
enact kindness
create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness

... I knew I could trust you


you cast your words 
out into the deep
crafted to touch that space
under my heart 
where your first poem 
was
rhythm 
motion & stillness
moon dance
swimming
sleeping
bobbing
gently 
whispering into my breath
bone
and 
gesture
a 
memory
you would call forth
three years ago
today
when I turned and reached for your hands
I knew I could trust you to reach for mine

    commemorating a moment with my son that changed my life; today (and everyday) i celebrate how he chooses to be in the world and i feel love and immense gratitude.

    The poem put me in mind of a two-piece jigsaw puzzle dipicting a picturesque landscape.
