Shifting

Posted on November 18, 2010 - Filed Under beginnings, breathe, self reflect | 1 Comment

I love the cooler weather – the mornings where my nose takes in almost frigid air, and hopping in the shower naked isn’t terrible but more of a frisky endeavor. The AC and Heater are both on sabbatical, giving my budget  a borderline rest. And here I stand on the brink of new changes, a […]

Walk

Posted on February 10, 2010 - Filed Under self reflect | Comments Off on Walk

It is now a quiet morning… I haven’t had a lot of those in the last few weeks – instead it has been a mad rush to get where I need to go, and bring what I need to bring, and do what I need to do. With the cancellation of one appt, and my […]

Unraveling

Posted on January 17, 2010 - Filed Under self reflect | 3 Comments

The air is heavy. I step outside and feel it immediately in the shift of my breath and the taste of the evening. The stars are hidden and the sky lit by city lights with the pressing pulse of a darkened moon between oppressive clouds. The unraveling of my sense of family is felt, in […]

5:55

Posted on January 11, 2010 - Filed Under self reflect | 5 Comments

Driving home today I glanced at the clock and noticed it was 5:55, one of those rare times that open up the universe to the gifts of wishing. At 5:55, I was entitled to 5 wishes – the most you could hope for, and in that instant it made no difference to me at all. […]

As I put on layers of clothing so as to endure the nippy weather and take the dog outside, I am distinctly aware of how quiet the world has been… how quiet my head has been. I didn’t realize how much the busy-ness in my head prevented me from sleeping, or feeling content, or hearing […]

Unfreezing the Frozen

Posted on December 6, 2009 - Filed Under self reflect | 3 Comments

I recently discovered a little treasure trove of my 19 yo 21-year old self, and as I went through endless pieces of poetry and sketches, I realized the passion and knowledge I carried then, and some of the truth of my experience that still rings true. Those years were full of feelings and transformation… and […]

Decks & Mosquitos

Posted on November 30, 2009 - Filed Under self reflect | Comments Off on Decks & Mosquitos

You know, I thought I could live in peace on the deck tonight… under what looks like a full moon, dashing between clouds and stars… but instead the Mosquitoes figured they needed to come ALL THE WAY up HERE and pester me, in my jammies and fuzzy sweater. Life is grand even with Mosquitoes… There […]

Gratitude & Change

Posted on November 26, 2009 - Filed Under self reflect | 2 Comments

As I rumble through the kitchen, checking the turkey and stirring pots of yummy food, I am filled with love, gratitude, sadness, and joy. This has been a tough year for me, full of changes in my life and of those I love, but with change comes opportunity for new perspectives and a new sense […]

It has been weeks. All kinds of adventures have ensued, and yet I draw a blank looking at this page, like a field of dirt, waiting for thoughts to be planted, fertilized, and harvested. Something about the soil seems tedious, like it will take more work than I am willing to put in to make […]
