mindful monday : elvis, my muse.
I've been resting. And reading. And enjoying my new orange desk. I may have mentioned that once or eleven times. I walked around Beaver Lake this morning with my friend, Andrea. It was, as she said, like walking in a postcard. I ate fruit for breakfast. I am clearing my …
poetry wednesday : call today
Sunflowers in a Field Sunflowers in a field. Goldfinches everywhere. They gorge on seed. They rise To rest along the power line, then fall Like drizzled lemon drops, like lozenges Of candied yellow light. Two weeks a year, goldfinches Gather on sunflowers here. These evenings after supper, You see them …
mindful monday : stillness
Sometimes you just need to stop. Halt. Breathe. That's where I am now. Breathing. Halting. Hibernating. I'm on sabbatical for a little while from Facebook and social media. I'm contemplating my new orange desk, the one I wanted, the one I ordered, and the one I got delivered to my …

poetry wednesday : when you come to love, bring all you have.
When You Come to Love by Ann Fisher-Wirth When you come to love,bring all you have. Bring the milk in the jug,the checked cloth on the table—the conch that sang the seawhen you were small,and your moonstone rings,your dream of wolves,your woven bracelets. For the key to love is in …
mindful monday : clean clementine lines
There are three rooms left to do, to clear out, to declutter and make spacious-er. And the attic. And the basement. Oh at the stuff. Some of it is boxes of papers I will never use again. I don't need them. I don't want them. Some of it is mementos. …
thinking thursday.
[this is me pretending to be a news anchor. I am being thoughtful by finger acting] [mind] Why fracking is no fracking good. I am intrigued by the Big History Project. Is addiction in the head? [body] I'm definitely going to try this oatmeal recipe. Oh, Hugh Laurie, we love …
