not everything is meant to be understood, but curiosity can make us a little wiser sometimes.

sunshine is wonderful.

so are hugs -

and anything else

that provides warmth

Bring into being

To feel found is a wonderful feeling. It is not exactly a moment of being in control. Nor a moment of losing it.

It is the dim of a streetlight, and subtle clarity. Of recognizing, and realizing without being all-knowing.

It is the warmth of a blanket that envelops in darkness, when a place you thought you knew all along becomes unfamiliar and unknown.

Like a surge of heat, from sipping a cup of tea, a somewhat hug to the soul.

A reassurance, without confirmation.

Maybe this is what it feels like to be at ease. Like a helium balloon lost in a vertical horizon, with the earth still underneath my feet.

spine

The spine of the book sits firmly in the middle
to hold pages of the story together.
Something firmly in the middle of me
holds my story too, 
& it holds me together as well
                                                  -but it isn't my spine.

awkward

It is quite a wonderful thing to be able to sit in a room full of people whose passion echoes your own. Something rekindles itself like candle inside. It makes my heart leap in ways, so familiar as before my trip to Guatemala and Belize a few years ago. I think this is the same kind of fluttery you feel when you fall in love.

Or maybe I am just weird.

conviction (or pretending to be convinced) makes us feel a little better, sometimes.
