into temptation…
Facebook might be the devil. There’s little I could say about it that we don’t already know. It’s voyeuristic, it’s a time waster, it’s gambling with our privacy. Yeah, yeah, I know. I do it anyway. I have lost count of the number of friends who daily struggle with Crack-book and I include myself in […]
another great idea…
June 29, 2011
My drafts folder is filled with great ideas…a paragraph of one good idea, a sentence of another, a third draft has simply one word…it’s a start anyway, right? I opened the drafts folder today to find us some Ordinary Time for this week and each great idea began to talk to me in excited tones, […]
wild geese…

Poetry Tuesday finds me ruminating on my experience at Wild Goose Festival this past weekend…and that brought me all roundabout like to Mary Oliver, on whom I may have a little poet crush…don’t judge. If you’ve not yet read Mary then you best get your honey buns over to this site and soak in her […]
missive: messenger
June 27, 2011
Dear one, Here is some truth- we all need to hear how beautiful we are from time to time. No matter what comes to us when we look in the bathroom mirror each day, when we spot our reflection in the store window or the still pond near the park, we need to hear about […]
life and death…
June 22, 2011
I realize it’s not quite Fotos Friday…and yet when I ran across this picture yesterday I knew I wanted to put it out there for you all to see. This is the chapel of St. Theodora located in Vasta, a small town in the Arcadia prefecture of Peloponnesos, Greece. This 11th century […]
sun and moon…
June 21, 2011
Poetry tuesday, friends. This is a poem I’ve been pounding lately. I don’t know what it is about the idea of creation as a visceral love story but it keeps on coming back to me, like a high speed train through my head and heart. So there’s that. sun and moon when sun and […]
missive: quiet
June 20, 2011
Dear one, Quiet seems distant and haphazard these days. Quiet seems intangible, unattainable and rare… and it is…in the outside world. You have no control over the noise of this outside world. Your life is noisy and it will continue to be noisy for quite a while I’d wager. Turn your attention to your noisy […]
poetry arrived….
June 14, 2011
Your lovely Poetry Tuesday begins with Pablo Neruda. I confess that I began to read Naruda mainly because I saw a movie called “Il Postino.” It’s probably more accurate to say that although I had read him in college I didn’t start buying his books until I saw the film. My point today isn’t that […]
be the river…
June 13, 2011
Be the river…that’s what keeps coming to me today, be the river. It’s tempting for me to berate myself for the lack of writing I’ve done lately. I spiral out of control when I give in to that thinking though. Invariably it ends with all kinds of “I told you so’s” from my own insecurities. […]
womanly…
June 7, 2011
I may have mentioned before a little book I love a whole lot by Kathleen Norris called “The Quotidian Mysteries: Laundry, Liturgy and Women’s Work.” If I use the word, “quotidian” in casual conversation with you (and I will) then it’s because of this little book. I bought it about 12 years ago because I […]
metaphor
from the Latin. metaphora,
from Gk. metaphora "a transfer," especially of the sense of one word to a different word,
lit. "a carrying over," from metapherein "transfer, carry over," from meta- "over, across" (see meta-) + pherein "to carry, bear" (see infer).
