Hopes for the blog:

enact kindness
create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness

... it's another thing....



it's one thing to be captured by the sweetness 
of a phrase
saying a feeling
honouring a moment
in ways that do the carnal justice  of poetry

it's another thing to be in that terrible 
wonderful
moment itself
a shimmering 
wisp of being
on a slack wire 
swaying 
over the ground of my certainties

feeling the truth and grit of sand

  1. i am caught by how strange are these times.... how odd and terrible and wonderful; grateful for my own life, and completely unprepared for the shattering reality of the loss of so many young lives, i struggle for sense making, i read others' sense making, and i hope and pray that there is a wisdom somewhere that can seep into the inevitable rhetoric and rationalization of platitudes
    swaying over the ground of my certainties... wondering if this was ever a possible ground

  2. My sadness is so deep that I can't shake it. Even saying that seems shallow.
