With Pleasure

May 14, 2011

Saturday, May 14th, 2011 I’m going to let you in on a little secret…(okay maybe more than one.)  It’s a secret that I have committed my life to making a secret no more…and that I am just about to get a whole lot more serious about.  Well…serious in a truly playful and epically fun way.  [...]

In the Mirror…

March 28, 2011

Sunday, March 27th, 2011 I was getting ready for a party…the way I usually do.  I drag my behind up the stairs when I am down to the wire on having time to do something between sprucing up and completely glamming out (depending on the event.)  It doesn’t matter how potentially tired or anti-social I [...]

Into the Waves

February 26, 2011

Friday, February 25th, 2011 I often feel like I am the woman in this painting, looking out at the ocean.  Only I feel that I have been standing there not for moments or hours, but for eons…looking out over the waves of the cosmic ocean, watching the worlds rise and fall, and rise again… I [...]

Pure

November 25, 2010

Thursday, November 25th, 2010 I was in my favorite bookstore, sitting crossed-legged on the floor with a book open on my lap when she approached.  I suddenly looked up and there she was, saying something softly like “Excuse me,” or, “I’m sorry…” and wanting to get around me to the children’s section.  I moved aside [...]

If You Love…

November 7, 2010

Sunday, November 7th, 2010 From the moment that the first leaves began to turn brown, as I’ve walked through the woods and seen them change, I have only had one mantra in my mind.  Let go.  Only it isn’t sad, or a burden, or a command I give myself born of compromise and forced resignation.  [...]

The Return of the Sibyls

September 24, 2010

Friday, September 24th, 2010 I am the oracular Sibyl, eldest daughter of a Naiad nymph.  My native land is Erythrae alone and no other…in which I uttered oracles to mankind as soon as I had issued from the womb.  And seated on this rock I sang to mortal men prophecies of events which were yet [...]

Overcome

August 8, 2010

Sunday, August 8th, 2010 It is a Sunday and the sun is soft outside, but I am hiding from it in my room to steal back a little time from everything but my teacup and my music and the words I want to write.  There will be sun tomorrow. There is a tree I am [...]

Burning Stars

July 12, 2010

Monday, July 12th, 2010 I am not sure how we can make it through anything now unless we are on fire.  Perhaps it means we will burn hot at some times and cold at others, but burn, I think, we must… We must burn with who we are… We must find out what ignites us [...]

Wild and Free

June 5, 2010

Saturday, June 5th, 2010 I’ve been reading my old journals again, and they are a treasure trove I hadn’t even imagined the vastness of.  A note that resonated through me was one I wrote at the very beginning of a road trip I was taking by myself when I was 20.  I’d been riding the [...]

But There is Summer…

May 8, 2010

Saturday, May 8th, 2010 I know.  I know what it’s like when some days drag you down like an undercurrent that takes your breath away.  I know what it is like to live in a time when simply being in the endless waves of shifting energy is like finding your mind in a vacuum one [...]
