On Changes

August 26, 2011

We laid on top of the covers, sideways on the bed. Curling up because we’re both too tall and too old to just hang off the sides like noodles. The quilt still smells quilty and despite me loving it, tonight I wasn’t fond of the memories it was pulling out of me.
We stared teary eyed [...]

July 10, 2011

*illustration by Oliver Jeffers

As a soul-infant I wish to learn everything at once all of the sudden.
I fret about not being able to learn fast enough.
Not [...]

It’s A New Season

September 5, 2010

It’s time to return from the not announced sabbatical I took in August. {she grins sheepishly…}
We have been growing and healing and changing. It’s a beautiful thing to see, watching Spirit-power transform each and every one of us. Word confirmed, life changed.

So beginning at the top…
1. hypotrochoid art set that my son was playing with
2. small “birdy purse” [...]

Wound Care

February 12, 2010

{…continued from yesterday’s post}

The Tunnel

December 24, 2009

Imaging what would come out next, I sit by my fireplace that is not lit and imagine it a roaring fire to burn away all the sick. I see the flames in my head, all the colors. Hear the crackling. It’s so real. I long for this vision to be a reality just so I [...]

Love For Lunch

October 26, 2009

We have been having so much fun putting lunch notes in Charlie’s lunch box each day. Jonah is the one who loved to sneak a note in, and he’s been my partner in crime as we create a little love for his brother.

We were sent these adorable cards (as well as a couple pads of [...]

Cinco

August 29, 2009

Today, my sweet soulful tortured artist clone of mine, middle child, turns 5.
Just five short (and very long) years ago he was born at home in the water, the most peaceful labor and birth ever. He’s a big brother and a little brother, and embraces all the angst and excitement that those roles encompass. He [...]
