Today...
has been a day
of miracles...
Love notes
keep appearing in this window...
while outside,
the tape and plastic sheeting,
peels away...
and sunlight pours into my home
and in to my heart
through those windows,
these eyes of my house
and it feels like a
rebirth...
How grateful
I am
for each one of you
who bless my life
in ways you could never,
ever,
even begin
to imagine!!!
A year ago
tonight...
Milt came home from his Boston trip
and my world forever tilted
then not knowing
that he would not be here tonight...
and now...
I find myself even deeper
within this chrysalis
and I know not myself...
a year later
with every window
of my house encased
in plastic sheeting
for the paint that will hopefully be applied
sans any February rain
this seventh day of June...
I am stripped,
turned inside out,
held oh so tight...
I can not see in
and I can not see out...
the forty-eight days
until I get my new pup
might as well be forty-eight years tonight...
or forty-eight light years,
past or present,
I do not know
if I would even show up
in one of Milt's death candles...
I feel so transparent
breathing into right now...
I can feel the tightness
of not knowing the boundaries of where my skin
ends and begins...
I have this new
body
free of the pain
these last few years bound me to...
and I am caught between
my love of changing
and the me that lived here with Milton...
for all I know now
is the freedom of
being
just me...
Sitting
beside the lake of glass,
reflecting that June 2nd
blue sky…
Sharing the cracks in our hearts
where we opened
to the unknown…
Letting each other
in, to the joy
of being
six and seven
thinking then
it was twelve…
Stepping together
into life
for three times seven
molding heart,
body and soul,
form shaping the formless
in the way
your intense
being melded with my
fierce tenacity
for plunges
down steep ravines
and pathways in the sky…
mirrored in the largeness of
your beautiful heart
that holds me still…
Sips
of tea…
blossoming
from this glass cup...
this
heart opening
in the sun...
on this day
of mothering
all because of you…
'Tis delicious Orin...
Thank you!!!
Said a thoughtful young froggy
named Tibit,
'Lets' not talk about life
rather live it.'
When asked to say how,
he took a low bow
and opened his mouth
and said 'ribit!'
Written by Milton in 1993
while at a Mayan Restuarant on a paper napkin.
Watercolor by Lea for Milt on his May 5th Birth Day 1993...
Sometimes... just my breath...
breathing in and breathing out,
is all that I need...
What do you need???

Dare...
you step upon that edge...
that takes you
to the precipice of all you've ever known...
Will you take that
small leap
into space...
The hidden places within your psyche,
your heart,
and your emotions....
Finding...
the gems of your breath,
the beating
of your heart,
and the infinite connection with other...
All expressions
of this divine life we dance???
Dare
you be yourself...
this wise fool
who lives
for this very moment???
The "Fool" painted for a friend's 50th birth day. Yes, that is a cat and not a white dog as in the traditional tarot. My friend lives in a "cat-household" so a white cat it had to be...
Spring comes like a child...
joy, leaping into the sun.
Innocence returns...

Each little drop...
could you please carry my love
to those whose world is no more???
To all
the people,
animals, birds,
and critters of the sea
who
sit on the edge
of destruction
from your molecules gathering
in such a force
that all life transforms
in a mere instant???
Could you please
take their tears
and add them to the seas
and the clouds
and the rivers
and the veins of our bodies
where we breathe as one???
Please rain,
be gentle with their hearts...
and ease their suffering,
holding them
in life
as they let go in death...
Bless my steps
sweet rain...
so that I walk more fully
into life
carrying their song
in my heart...
