expression ( word, dance, text, image, story, music, poetics)

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

This Special Day

this special day carried my son's words
breathed the sound of leaves
ocean
rain
shimmering 
 in a sweet, clean bowl
one smooth stone
stillness
hope

this special day leans into that sharp edge
looks into that deep well
yields to fear 
and re-birth
celebrates this
fragile, tender
now
of moments given
unfolding

    on the other side of a tough few months celebrating all the reasons to be happy to be here, in my life, with my son, my partner, my family, my several resonant communities, my wits ( mostly !! ), my gratitude and my edge.

    looking forward to writing more often and reading ( again and anew) the bloggers whose work I enjoy and admire.

    I may be wrong but I think you have addressed this moment before... but never so eloquently.
    My thoughts are with you.
