The sun shines different ways in summer and winter. And we shine differently in the seasons of our lives.
Seasonal emotions
Shedding late-summer tears for the end of cherry season. Patiently and hopefully waiting for pumpkin pie season.
Tide
Life is questions
and answers,
ebbing and flowing
in endless waves
Hard enough
If guilt or regret is an essential part of your grief, you will never stop grieving.
Rainbow’ish
Red is passion-lit, pink is lipsensual, orange is flowerageous, yellow is suntastic, green is lifebursting, blue is skyful, purple is berrydancing,
Summer-nap
I drifted into a summer-nap
under the hot shade of July
serenaded by a cicada lullaby
to drowsy-warm dreams
of distant thunder…

Fresh & green
Our bodies run on the fresh green fuel of the land.
Unfocus
Sometimes we must unfocus our way to clarity.
Dreams & greens
For happy health, fuel yourself with dreams and greens.
Vino diabólico
There are spunky little angels at the top of a bottle of wine and fearless little devils at the bottom.
Viewpoint
Pray on the shadowy hillside of hardship and on the sunny hillside of happiness.
Glorious
imagine how many glorious winters and springs
the stars from their celestial perches have seen—
Soul warmth
Hot coffee and cold winter mornings are two of the best soul mates who ever did find each other.
