Magnolia

Spring baby breathed two and a half minutes;

(one crying,
one gasping            and the hesitation between)

frost crept lace-etched rosy pink to
given-up brown, whispered;
"I'll call you Magnolia."

we blinked it in,
eyelids the coldest heavy,

hearts taught to close before
lips
 could fog
'thank you.'

Mi Parte Favorita de estar Sola en Casa

Partido de danza en cualquier momento del día. Estilo variable. La ropa opcional!

Wish this chocolate cake would stop it already.  I mean
I'm trying to go to bed, here.

"You see, the ocean and the land are the most important providers there can be."

This morning

I slept in!
woke up to a cozy, warm room
had tea (two cups!)
made french toast.

I danced! 

finally discovered John Legend.

It's only noon!

Thank you, God, for peace and life and love and your joyful Spirit who teaches us to savor and enjoy all of it.

I want to look back and think, "I lived this year fully;"
          "I lived this season fully.
           I lived this month fully.
           I lived this week fully.
           I lived this day fully."

With all your help, God.

The First Thirteen Words

It's nice to have been made me.  Thank God for slow, delicious mornings.
