Better than expected. I am so stoked, so pumped, so pleased. Tonight could not have gone any better.
Well, David Jolly could have won the governorship in Florida but otherwise, a stellar evening!!

sunshine, at last
warm reprieve
from one very wet
10-day forecast

a garden of roses, bereft of bloom
a smiling face, bereft of warmth
a broken heart, bereft of hope
a broken world, bereft of kindness

pollen-dusted red-eye
head-busting sinus blues
ragweed rules
the roost around here

quietly, she no longer
feels the need
to prove herself to anyone
except herself


the yum of turkey provolone on wheat
painting a respectable watercolor landscape
Paul Mauriat’s achingly beautiful Love is Blue
occasionally sleeping-in, guiltfree and glorious
The Five Chinese Brothers, a childhood favorite
Coco Wheats, scrambled eggs, a box of raisins
the satisfaction of measuring & cipherin’ fractions
early mornings, a quiet house, hot cup of tea
a friend dares us to do the air step
we can make it a winter project, she says
I’m sixty-nine; coordination, never my forte
but I’m game I tell her
*
I’m game
~ written, with much admiration, after Mary Oliver
When did it happen?
“Long before I knew something like this could ever transpire.”
*
Where did it happen?
“In a forgotten place where soft-shell clams gather at dawn.”
*
No, tell. Where did it happen?
“Where the sound of the sea rushes in to the wild chambers of the heart.”
*
What is your heart doing now?
“Oh, child. It longs so for you.”
