  • THE RUNNER

    In memory of Dennis whose laughter I will forever remember THE RUNNER Fierce as the fighter at sword’s end, he pierces the ethers with feet pursuing in active rite a holy destination. With easy strides cutting the air cleanly, his pursuit begins in quest of his ecstasy; bought at the cost of a body agonizing…

  • SMALL COMFORT

    In the case of young women who have cracked glass ceilings,  I wish to remind them that generations of women have prepared partners for them who wish to parent their children.  That there were women free of commitments or those who shrugged those commitments  to do what they felt was theirs over the years  was…

  • The Need For Connections

    It is a fact of life that when things are offered and we do not accept them, then when we want them, we find they are withdrawn.   It is a matter of inner vision, not having to do with sight.   We cannot see our need at the time.   But upon thinking and when we see…

  • My Cosmic Valentine

    Every year  I wait for my Cosmic Valentine.   It comes after a summer of getting the harvest ready for another year until spring planting.   The summers for me were too long and the winters too short.   When winter came it gave the necessary time for me to feed my need for knowledge.   It was a…

  • A Good Friend (from Kiss The Moon)

        You stayed the night while I lumbered my body through a partition closing me from life. While I fought through a sea of memories holding me hostage to long and lonely years. You saw me through eyes of tears reflecting the hardness mine needed to smelt with coals being fired in a heart…

  • My Love Of Barns

    When I was a young girl we moved to The Farm.   It was the most beautiful place my eyes had yet seen.   The red barn sat on a hill opposite the white house also sitting on an incline.   And outside any window were horizons as far as my eyes could see.   But the red barn…

  • Sacred Permit

    I am posting this wall quilt with the hope that it will be purchased for someone who is expecting a child.  It has always been mine to know that we come with a sacred permit that says we are chosen as our parents are also chosen.   I know this is not a commonly held concept, …

  • The Whole World Is Looking For A Mother

    In the `90’s,  when my world was struggling to find its place after the death of our middle son a few years earlier, the bigger world outside of me seemed only to reflect what I was working on.   And in the midst of my struggles, I wrote The Whole World Is Looking For A Mother. …
