I went to Clark Reservation today but it was closed. Since I had already promised the dog a walk, I went instead to Green Lakes. I don’t ever – really ever talk on the phone when I am walking, but today I called a friend to talk. At one point while I was talking and [...]

Signs of Affection

He is this adorable little child. His teacher calls him Charlie Brown. But he isn’t Charlie Brown, he is something else. I don’t see him as hapless or pathetic and sometimes Charlie Brown really kind of is. He is all boy. In every way. He fits the stereotype of a boy too. He will not [...]
a new day
Posted in Gratitude on September 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I am here now, and a new day has dawned. Something wonderful has entered my life something unfathomable to me. It is like the gossamer wings of a faerie, elusive glamour that draws the eye but hides in shadows. I do not trust it yet, this new thing. It has again been like transition for [...]
Old Friends

Every now and then you are given a gift. Sometimes that gift comes wrapped in a beautiful package wrapped up with sparkling paper, exquisite bows. Sometimes it comes wrapped in brown paper with raffia. And sometimes it comes wrapped in the mists of memory scented like lilacs. It is the latter that is the very [...]

I have spent the week indoors, in a freezing air conditioned room, I have gained two new friends. I have grown to love a third even more. Joe is a good guy and since the dissolution of my marriage he has been there for me in so many ways, to fix my car, to loan me [...]
Light glorious
Posted in Flowers, Gratitude, Knitting, garden on July 27, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
It must have been clearing the clutter that made the garden so utterly beautiful in the rich afternoon sunlight. I took my knitting out onto the front porch, I also took my camera. It wasn’t long before I was noticing how enticingly lovely eggplant flowers are. I looked out onto my newly groomed garden and my [...]
Ugliness

I woke up feeling hideous today. Grumpy, cranky, miserable. I have my suspicions as to why but no proof yet. Let’s just say that I suspect that the cysts on my ovary may not yet be resolved, I am in some considerable pain. God aren’t hormones fabulous!
I knitted up the last bits of my linen sweater, [...]
Be Prepared
Posted in Gratitude on July 8, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The rain this spring and early summer has been persistent. But I have this overwhelming need to walk basically every day. I start to get antsy and need to leave the house. Last night I was hesitating to go because it looked like the rain was immanent. Instead I packed my hippie bag with a [...]
Walking in the Sun
Posted in Flowers, Gratitude, Medicinals, birds on July 6, 2009 | 2 Comments »
At last the sun has come out in full force and finally I can feel the warmth of it on my skin, the force of it in my bones, the lightness of it in my being. I had begun to feel a downward spiral into a darkness of self that was not good. I wake [...]
Passion
Posted in Gratitude on July 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We are talking as client and therapist for perhaps the last time. I have come to have a deep abiding respect for this man. He has changed my world view, I see clearly now from my own eyes. We talk about passion, how some people have it and some don’t. How some people rip living [...]
