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

Violet



flower
or
name
or the colour of your eyelids 
that first hour after you came
into the world
or the colour of the sky
that moment before
twilight
or the colour of that
moment
and so many 
moments
drenched...
glorious

  1. this little verse is a meditation on a lovely image of a flower i saw on a card that i eventually sent off to my son... with the verse included. so, i suppose it is also a meditation on how so much is connected, and how happy i am that it is.
