expression ( word, dance, text, image, story, music, poetics)
learning, yielding......

Hopes for the blog:
offer up the wild intersectedness of lived experience and engage others in creative, expressive, perhaps irreverant, hopefully playful, and respectful encounters....
enact kindness
create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness

third person



when she stepped back
talk & glory
moved on
without her
strings
pulling a melody
played in a background
more compelling
than silence

when she sees a bench
near the river
twilight flowing
sky & water
longing for kindness
nevertheless
terrified
she will choose
sit & watch darkness
gather fragility
easily
lean into story
holding the moment 's sweet
quivering
heartbeat

  3. Pisces--thanks for the comment and the nice words; I am glad that I managed to convey something of this experience.
    Madame-- and thanks to you for your comments and nice words, as well. It seems that these moments resonate with enough of us that we know one when we read it.
