Perhaps present
is not
a place
but an
expression of
pure gratitude
a being
of humility
and of
kindness and
blessings and
of grace

I first started writing this blog as a way to refocus my thinking after a debilitating mental breakdown in 2008. Having been educated in writing, I had hoped that my love for words would have left a trail for me to follow and, well, here we are.
Joy
There’s nothing
to do
that needs
to be
just things
that take
our time
think not
then of
them as
work but
rather the
joy of
living our
beautiful lives
Favorite
It hits different
that first sip
of early morning
of course coffee
but also kiss
and sun too
it’s wakey wakey
to warmth to
love to day
three of my
most favorite things
Goes
I have what
after long when
and while I
didn’t know where
I knew who
when I think
back and remember
I’d never imagined
that this what
would be here
so life goes
Apricot
The dimmest light
of early morning
glazed across city
like thin orange
icing atop eclairs
creating a sweet
and delicate sheen
an almost apricot
wetness found only
on the faces
of those lucky
enough to be
biting tender fruit
in late summer
so is November
in these mountains
