Splashing Around in the Summer Sun

As the summer sun so delightfully aligns with our backyard, it makes for some incredibly gorgeous golden rays of sun while we play around in the pool. Temperatures are rising steadily here in the Arizona desert as we are approaching a forecast of 118 degrees! We are beyond grateful to be able to splash around and cool off, which makes it possible to be outside this time of year. I love watching these kids swim, jump, smile, laugh and splash […]

Caught by the Moon

I wrote a little thing yesterday in a waiting room. The photos came by night, unable to sleep….around 1am by using only streetlight coming in my bedroom windows. Waiting Moon You…you…find me like this, and I’m sorry You…you…love me like this, like I’m worthy And for all I know, I can’t comprehend it And you’ll never make me understand it Chasing me down that silent street My streetlight shadows outrun my feet, and I’ll trip again on that unsteady tightrope For […]

She Is

She Is… She’s arriving… She’s arriving at the door of recycled words. She’s locked out… She’s locked out…side the confines of time. She’s in tune… She’s in tune with her broken wings. She’s climbing… She’s climbing her house of cards. She’s clinging… She’s clinging to clouds that hold her hand, and catch her falls. She’s calling… She’s calling for the koi to swim her into the deep. She’s lying… She’s lying under clotheslines of warm blankets and sweaters. She’s sleeping… […]

Room 501: Love is a Contiuum

Preface This story is the result of trusting the writing process to unravel and explore some traumatic points in my life, occurring within about a 6 year span as a child. When I began writing, I had no idea how much would be revealed to me along the way. The personal struggles I address are shared by many and are very complex. To write this story in a linear, straightforward way would seem like oversimplification given the swerving and circuitous […]
