maybe time to start zinnias
7.30am on earth day
coffee to get the blood rush
not sure if we need a fire today

neighbourly duties, stories to tell
the big melt melting boundaries
when those out in their yards give a wave
maybe eggs too, on barrie's green

seed to stem to leaf
a bit of green for a healthy life
each root a gift, deep in the earth
where it will drink and feed something for us
to drink, and feed

a breath on your leaves to warm you

a late early morning
four am was awake with dreams
around eight a yellow lab nosed me for breakfast

warm carbs for the belly, the sky rain and snow
no fire tho
above zero inside and out

love & pets quietly playful
working on something for us and the world

there are some days where a return to your old self manages to brighten the new.

the snow
the sun
the chill

soon it will be spring
and big changes

a place to sew seeds
put a piano
pet a dog
relax enjoy and breathe

felt so warm
by ideas, by arms

what i don't have to fight for is often worth keeping

sitting on the seventh floor, level with a horizon of city lights
can feel my body re-adjust back to sitting all day
and my eyes unglaze to a screen of code

luckily i've taken a break from working full-time to live part-time
so the rest of the week will be movement and laughter
tomorrow i'm train-bound to montreal
to catch up with dear friends, walk a different city's streets, rock out at a saturday night venue
and..... meet a lover? make a deal? gain perspective?

so much so much

joined a gym - didn't fall off the running machine
just fell out of touch with that passive part of me that is good for awhile but not for too long

yellow tail chardonnay
sam prekop
beautiful apartment
a microphone and a guitar
gardens
jasmine rice and pineapple

held my own hands, together with myself in a moment
looked down at my fingers... middle on the left
thinking about each day's passing, my existence now and here.

i will someday be history - joining the sparkle in a ring a young woman wears
a moss agate ring from centuries ago (it is the ring of my great great grandmother)
i wonder what she thought about this ring, and about life and things.

walked under a bridge as a train was going over it

revising actions and editing direction
backing out of something and pushing through something else, always

this week: lights on a church ceiling, friends in a shadowy bar, a city drenched in snow, beautiful men, naked women, and the laughter of a child

Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:36:30 GMT

spent yesterday afternoon lazing in the warm nest of a family
2 week old little one in my arms, 18mo old on my back
laughing with melli and roan, proud parents, amazing friends

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 22:23:08 GMT

a darkness in my spine
pooling at the pelvis
weighing on the shoulders

three men fell through the ice, one was lost
i could tell in mom's words and in dad's voice
a small town tragedy is inherently felt at home, brought into one's heart

11am, apple for breakfast

walk home

duck nose into scarf and smile with eyes at strangers
