Come up and sit with me here on this hill, would you? The time has come to talk of many things. Of shoes, and ships, and sealing wax. Of cabbages and white supremacists. Whoopsie! That’s not how that poem goes! Well, come up here with me on this hill anyway, and – over there – that patch of grass looks nice. You can sit there. We need to talk. But first! For this conversation, I need to use my ‘cosmic …
This is it. The last day in my 30 day challenge to myself to write morning pages and, for some odd reason, post them where everyone who wanted to could read them. (I know, I counted 30 days in a weird way. Deal.) My timing is also interesting. The new moon was yesterday. A day … Read More >
I’m meeting my accountant Linda for breakfast burritos and a killer latte today. 🙂 Read More >
My little brother was born today. Except now he’s not that little. He’s a dad to three kids, husband to the amazing and possibly immortal M, and owns a house. He was my original creative partner. Together we made up all sorts of things. My dad used to work in an office, and would bring … Read More >
So I’m reading a witchy book right now, as part of my miracle morning. I know a few actual witches, women who identify by the word, but I know a whole lot more women who don’t necessarily call themselves witches, but who are witchy, by my definition. By my definition, a witch is a woman … Read More >
I am a swirl of emotions and new ideas today. I’ve been living with more awareness of what the moon is doing; right now, it’s 4 days until the new moon. As the moon empties out to nothing, so do I. There’s nothing to be done but empty. I’m like one big drain. And it’s … Read More >
I really don’t want to write this. In fact, after today, I’m going to go back and count how many days I have been writing and posting to my blog, and see if it’s been 30 days yet. Because if it’s been 30 days, I’m switching channels. This was *supposed* to be my little private … Read More >
This is the morning I could sleep all day. We drove back from Buffalo yesterday, with a few bathroom breaks, but otherwise a straight shot. I’d intended to go running this morning, but when my alarm went off, it seemed like more rest was necessary. Right now, I am craving the reset of reflection and … Read More >
I just meditated for the first time since we left for Buffalo. I wasn’t very good at it. (I like the idea of being ‘good’ at meditating. It amuses me.) My mind kept thinking about things. But then I would feel Chachi’s head resting on my thigh, or hear the birds outside S’s window, or … Read More >
| slept in today, and it was glorious. There’s a quote: “sometimes the holiest thing you can do is nap.” I think the same holds true for sleeping in. Then this brings me to “sleeping in is like doughnuts. You don’t need it all the time, but when you do, it’s holy.” Okay, that needs … Read More >
Here I am, not wanting to put words to things again. I hadn’t noticed how reluctant I can be to put words to things. There is time for words, and there is time for no words. My desire right now is to “let it ride” - to be silent, to just experience life as it … Read More >
