the love garden

hoping for a spring bloom. intentions- softness, fruitful creation, curiosity, playfulness, to show love of life

vanilla light floods your eyes in two maybe three infinite seconds of serenity, comfortable foggy residue of another consciousness hanging thick between your lids until

lashes fluttering in realization

serenity slips into the past

the pain of lost love so sharp. as if reliving its end, every morning

“The early morning is lovely. I like to feel that I am in harmony with nature;”

— Virginia Woolf, from a diary entry featured in “A Passionate Apprentice,”

birds, again.

occupying air space with reckless necessity to survive. obeying community law only. everything becomes a perch. tiny fluff of a baby on the cement this morning, demanding, in constant state of cuteness

sometimes, in complete harmony. dots forming one line, one mass taking off in a curve to the sky

other times, independent chaos.

July 19th- dream of cedar waxwing, communing with the bird.

January 20th- dream of two large great blue herons flying over woodlands where I grew up.

Janruary 4th- mini firefly larvae hatching high up in a cluster of pines, brought to tears by the spectacle.

radical love. the power of a comet flying through space is within—sourced from a summer night’s dream during an eclipse

together in a moment out of time

the stars came through him and saw all of me as if my skin was the water up to his thighs

accepting soft lapping waves from my seismic pulse

wild baby cat on the move, frolicked all morning long in the garden, so floofy, so free

I wanted the soft loving always touching too-in-sync spending days together exploring life together

and instead I was purely ignored, no soft love no touches, no ability to feel close to you

I left to heal myself apart from you

stayed together in hopes of it helping you too but you gave yourself to someone else for half a year

while I was trying to help both of us

and at some points I didn’t want to be with you at all

I was hurting that much

and now it hurts worse

Dream bath with almost all the plants I had, various candles, and crystals/rocks/earthen materials from the 2017 eclipse viewing ✨
