Hopes for the blog:

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

Called forth by A Blade of Grass, January 16, 2009

the afterthought
is the killer
you know
couldn't you have thought it through
just once
put one brick down & then the next
and the next
for someone who can be so
damn methodical about some things
thoughtful, even
you are careless
with things that matter
more than they should
at least
the irony
is appreciated
as a gift
whether you meant it
or not

  2. Hopper-- thanks for the ongoing confirmation that a creative spark has kept burning over time and across contexts that are not always conducive to keeping that spark alive....
    this means so much to me
