  • …my golden birthday is in exactly one month. for some reason birthdays always make me feel sad.
    …i wish i could leave the country… it has been too long.

    …you should come over for tea

    if you have any artwork or pictures you’d like to contribute to my white walls… I would be thrilled to have more tangible reminders of you. xoxo

  • fish escaping

    …i have moved. it was quick and painful. but i am feeling much lighter. i had flying dreams for a week afterward. you should come and visit me– it’s cozy, and you are welcome.

    life goes on quickly, just like yours. i wish i could take you each out for tea– or make you a pot in my new old kitchen– instead of relying on phones. c’est le vie.

    the rain does a soft dance on my roof that is a most beautiful lullaby. and i wake up hearing birds sing for the first time in years. the thaw has come and spring has melted my heart into a smile. it has won me over. i am so thankful.

    may this Easter remind you of hope renewed.

    you are loved.

  • this man is teaching my class for a couple weeks… he is *brilliant*

    with every word he says I feel like I can breathe deeper… reminds me of Randall Flinn and Rumi
    …makes me want to be a person… makes me want to be alive…

    Come, come, whoever you are.
    Wonderer, worshipper, lover of leaving.
    It doesn’t matter.
    Ours is not a caravan of despair.
    Come, even if you have broken your vow
    a thousand times
    Come, yet again, come, come.
