trying not to wobble

creating one moment at a time

The mirror is in the closet.

I am here.

You are there.

We are here and there.

Me inside a rock hard casing of skull bones.

You too.

But if I put my hand to your chest and you put yours to mine — hearts beating together.

We are not alone.

He snuck up on me and said “Get dressed, let’s go out for a walk” and I said “Are you nucking futs?!?”🥶

Let’s begin again 💫 Every single moment 💫

This

sunset

is

someone else’s

sunrise 💫

Coming home as day fades into evening… preparing to create a magical night…🕯️

Longer than the road that stretches out ahead…”

In case you don’t know, my favorite parts of each of my days are my first cup of coffee in the morning and getting into bed later with a good book. (This is a very good book, if you are looking for something to read.) And in case you are concerned about all the hours in between my two favorite parts of the day, no worries. Many moments of wonder and joy mix with the humdrum and toilsome tick-tock of life. These glimmers sustain me. Not bad, right? Not bad at all. Namaste, sweet human🙏

Earlier this morning, sitting, still, and listening to the dawn chorus…

“The birds they sang

at the break of day.

Start again!!

I heard them say”

—Leonard Cohen

It’s there… our star, the sun… blazing just as brightly behind the thick gray clouds as it does in a clear blue sky… like hope, it is always there… you don’t have to wait for the clouds to be gone to know that💫
