I wake early, get up and do a load of laundry. It has been raining much of the night and it is cool, I check the weather and it is going to be sunny, breezy and cool, uncharacteristically cold actually. I hang two loads on the line and start a third. I spin a half [...]

Clematis and Missouri Primrose

I am working on a project with a friend with whom I used to teach. I had to drop off some papers at her house the other day, and I reminded her of the flowers she had given me many years ago that now dot my perennial garden she told me the name which I [...]
Climbing

I draw three sketches, one of a woman on her tip toes reaching up, two sitting legs akimbo head hanging down, all three on god’s thumb waiting to be flicked off into the abyss. Here I stand in a rose garden, lemon yellow flowers, a brillant scarlet, poppy orange and sun blazing yellow, pure white [...]
This is my heart

Somewhere along the line I had become an exhibitionist. Not in the sense of taking off my clothes but in the sense of trying to show off myself. It was not a helpful thing to do and was a practice of displaying the ego. Like a peacock, pompous arrogant but somehow false. I am not [...]

Early morning alarm, I don’t really want to get up. It is Monday a holiday. I meet my sister at the park and it is really beautiful – I should have brought my camera but only had my cell phone. I saw either three herons feet from me or at the least the same heron [...]
The peace and quiet of solitude

I didn’t set my alarm but woke up with just enough time to shower, take care of the dog, hang out a load of laundry and make a lunch before heading the Zen Center for morning service. I gave myself extra time but the traffic was non-existent so early in the morning. The construction backs [...]

I stopped by my friend Michelle’s house today and took pictures of her boyfriend Corey’s container garden. They purchased a house a year ago to flip and sell in another year. They have done alot of garden work as well as the usual remodeling projects necessary in a flip. Corey is leary of planting veggies [...]

Sometimes, the heart knows what the mind does not. Sometimes the soul knows what the heart cannot. I am Amelie melting.
I am verklempt. I don’t know what it is but something has me stressed out. Strange how my body tells me things my brain will deny. I have walked little, the dog is verklempt as [...]

So my daughter’s boyfriend. Sometimes I am annoyed by him, his ubiquitous presence, sometimes I get pissed and give him a really hard time. He is so respectful that when I am being a shit all he does is something nice. Like the day I was crying about six months ago and I told my [...]
Not sleeping in

I have waited all week to sleep in, but it was not to be. I read three chapters of the new book I bought last night when Michelle and Corey and I went to Barnes and Nobles. It is a memoir of a young man who was in Sierra Leone during the civil war. I took [...]
