Poetry For Celebrating Summer Solstice Oh, the water lilies. See how they seem to open wider out of their own opening? Let me unfold like that—without thinking, without assuming I’m already open enough. Do not let me close up, all stiff and stoic, like a walnut that will not crack. Don’t let me become […]

At this point in life, I’m learning that things that used to be easy in my twenties, like sitting cross-legged for hours on end, just aren’t quite as simple now. Or running a 5K. Or staying up late to go to see The Cure in concert night after night. Passing 50 last December was certainly […]

Time moves forward, despite all my desperate attempts to hold onto what is right now. The trees outside my window spring forth with emerald tendrils, the golden acacia unfurls in spires of circular sunlight. Life, in all its extraordinary ordinariness, pushes forth. If I had great patience, I would stand still, and practice living in […]

Inspiration. I’m always looking for it. When my kids were little, sometimes it was simply inspiration to get me through the day with a smile on my face. Or inspiration to trust that I knew what to do, and that everything would turn out all right. I still look for inspiration on that one. I […]

I set out to find my muse today. Long dormant under piles of paper, loads of laundry and unwashed dishes, her elusiveness is starting to wear me down. Like the moment when you realize your body doesn’t react they way it did twenty years ago, panic begins to take over. Perhaps she’ll never return? Is […]
