DARKNESS AND LIGHT
So many people talk about their darkness
And how it helps them see
The essence of themselves
But I disagree
Because what we are really afraid of
Is our light.
In our darkness we can dig out all the bad stuff
Giving us free reign to flagellate...

Today the third of November is the first sunny day we have had in almost a week.The sky is a deep cobalt blue and the trees are alight with gold. It is also the first anniversary of Barack Obama's election to the presidency. And I am happy he has made it this far without some nut assassinating him...

TWO ARROWS MEETING IN MIDAIR
We were
Two arrows
Meeting in midair,
You, trying to heal from failed relationships,
Me, numb to the process happening within me.
And so, these two arrows connected for awhile
You more aware of what it was about
Than I (still reeling from actually being heard)
And...

I didn't realize before today that I have been walking around,acting normal,with a gaping wound that cannot heal because it is too deep and the surgeon didn't stitch it up. Being so opened up,every little infectious slur has cut deep.I was wondering why I felt so guilty after a quarrel with a...

My favorite city is really not a city at all,but rather a small town in midcoastal Maine. It sits on the Damariscotta River,the oyster capital of the world,so my friend Bill tells me.
On sunny day the river sparkles with tiny diamond points reflecting the clear unpolluted blue of the sky above....

Last night I went to an energy healer. AT the end of my rope with the anger and pain,i was willing to try anything. I had sampled a little of this kind of healing about a month ago at our town fair for a brief period and the reader was so on target I wanted to come back for more.
And this time I...

Last night I was asked to babysit my grandkids.My daughter had a meeting to go to,and I was happy to find the always wonderful place to go whether I need healing or not. It so happened that I did last night.

Today I read a poem written by my lost soulfriend about returning home and the healing power of it.Then I read in my(generic) horoscope that rather than pushing to make a big decision I should go back over the patterns of my life.This made sense to me.I have always wanted to return to the homes of...

The balloon is gone from my sight now,having flown three thousand miles and settling comfortably back in Berkeley along with other balloons of its type. I do not write him.I do not call him.But he still resides in my heart and mind.
