I am grateful that even though I haven’t posted in here, the gratitude gang is still here, going strong.
I am grateful Niel commented on Samuel’s YouTube video. (He thought it was so cool, Niel, that you live in South Africa yet came to visit his video! It isn’t the moon, I wanted to tell him, simply a different part of our planet. LOL)
I am grateful for my morning coffee.
I am grateful for shifting perspectives, toward the positive.
I am grateful for Cameron, who swept me away and off to The Getty Museum yesterday. It was the first day I felt calm, completely, for the past two weeks. Needed it.
I am grateful I got some fun shots with my camera yesterday, becoming even more intimate with art…
I am grateful for you, reading….

the other day, “If we win a million dollars, I will buy you a new desk, Mommy.”
I recently cleared everything off my Writing Porch. It is completely empty. The space we used to sit each morning is devoid of anything. A white canvas, waiting.
Bittersweet.
Samuel wants it to have a desk, so I can sit & write and usher in the morning there again. He knows how happy it made me.
How I love my son…..

drumstick plays
relentless upon
the space between
my eyebrows
right above my nose,
I feel the triple
wetness
threaten to drip
bankrupt tears
spilling unwillingly
why does this transparent portrait
of collaborative love cause this
uncodified ache coursing through
my center from brow to belly to
the cracks in my heels
blood barren, dry, emptied
dust covered all remain
unspoken for language will not
can not know how to form around
this mammoth pilgrimage of
oppressive heat bars me from
dust covered box somewhere
out there in the great unknown
does it…
does it or
