missive: storm
Dear one It’s been stormy this week and I’ve thought of you. I’ve thought of you not because your life has echoed that storm but because of the color of the sky before the rain comes, the smell of the air just after and the sound of the water on the roof over my head. […]
fotos: canvas
February 25, 2011
It’s a wonderful gift to know one’s body as canvas for everything we think and feel, everything we hope and imagine. It’s a wonderful gift to see my son know, instinctively, his body as canvas….and to see him use washable markers instead of sharpies.

after being in love…
February 15, 2011
I read this poem recently at a small couples retreat at Lyric Springs. It is appropriate for me as I approach my 18th year of being a married person and just after the hallmark made holiday of Valentine’s day…AND it’s by one of my favorite mystic poets, Rumi. As always, I invite you to read […]
missive: vulnerable
February 14, 2011
Dear one, What a kind and loving heart you have. It is impossible for you to hide this now, it’s grown so large and so present in you. There was a time when you held your heart so close, locked behind an imposing iron door so that no one could see it. Your heart was […]
