plato's sitton's cave or i want to be two turtles when i grow up

on friday, i went down the mountain to visit with finn and fall. we drank dollar bucket shaboozy and talked all kinds of nonsense. i hadn't taken a picture with this old beat polaroid in a minute. i love how this one turned out. when they were kids, they called their neighborhood gang, the skullgirls, and that's what i call these pictures in my head, even if i never say it outloud

on saturday, i got a foraged double espresso from emma, and we caught up for a minute, then i walked all up and down the river until early afternoon. i saw turtles still waking up from the long nap. i watched some kids rowing in the first big race of the summer. i found broken toys and lost beads. i checked in with the bogmonster

yesterday, we had third sunday of the month lunch with my parents. the kids brought their partners, and we ate strip mall chinese at the place that tastes like how i remember east coast chinese in the nineties. i listened to baseball and fell asleep with boba on the couch. i watched an old movie just for the scenes with musicians, mostly passed now, playing a texas honkytonk in the eighties. i had a good day

i haven't been reading about the names of colors. i found a lot of fun stuff, but never what i was looking for. lately, i keep coming across old books of fables and rhymes and nonsense alphabets. i caught myself rewriting 'd is for death', over and over in my head, until finally i had to dig out some edward gorey to put an end to it

we're going firefly camping in a week. fall got us a nice spot on the quiet side of the river

i reached out to the girl. we caught up for a minute and it was good. she said it was nice, easeful even, but probably best we not catch up again for another year, so i guess that'll be that for the time being

i feel called to work in a bakery. if you know how to make that happen, i'd appreciate the help

i found a green glitter pen in the parking lot, barrel cracked by tires, drawing wilted stars on the back of my hand until it died or friday we will drink strawberry fanta hurricanes and talk about the storm

i'll finish the bag of potatoes and the last of the cabbage today. i try to buy the smallest cabbage in the bin and i eat it every day but it still lasts for such a long time

i'm looking forward to buying collards tomorrow to eat with the big pot of black-eyed peas i made yesterday

i continue to be obsessed with the lines i find in lost abandoned broken pens

i wish there was a word for the type of poetry i want to read. i have found a few pieces of it lately and it feels so good when i do. sometimes i resort to rewriting the ones that are almost what my heart wants and i thank the poets for their patience with my trespass

A witch ladder is a folk practice commonly used in meditation, ritual, or spellwork wherein the practitioner braids or knots lengths of hair/rope/twine with bones, driftwood, feathers, stones, etc. Witch ladders can be hung around the house or buried, but I design mine to be braided into one's hair. 

This one is made with hemp and silk cords and freshwater pearl, garnet, raccoon toe bone, jade, onyx, ostrich egg shell, and an antler tip. All animal remains are ethically sourced and cruelty-free.
