Packing sucks.

Oh lord, you guys.
So, there’s this thing… Normal coffee doesn’t affect me ordinarily. I mean, I’m sure it does a bit, but I can never really feel it and I can drink a cup of coffee before bed and be able to sleep just fine. Because of this, when I went to Butterfly Herbs today and got a small iced coffee, I didn’t think anything of it.
It was so good. You have no...

“I wandered past sushi shops and backpacker places and Thai takeways and tobacconists in the hot Sydney summer evening sun. Last night Amanda (who is vastly amused by my complete lack of hooker recognition skills) had pointed out the hookers to me, and I saw a couple of the ladies she had pointed out to me coming on duty, looking wary in the daylight.
There were a couple - a man and a...

Last night I had a dream.
Neil Gaiman was passing through Missoula on his way to his tour stop in Seattle. Bestamor had emailed him and offered to let him stay at our house, so he did. She didn’t tell me ahead of time. So we ended up sitting at the kitchen table, where I made him loose-leaf Earl Grey tea and talked about stories and writing.
Best dream.
Hands down.

Falling and Flying
Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew. It’s the same when love comes to an end, or the marriage fails and people say they knew it was a mistake, that everybody said it would never work. That she was old enough to know better. But anything worth doing is worth doing badly. Like being there by that summer ocean on the other side of the island while love was fading out of her, the...

let it go - the smashed word broken open vow or the oath cracked length wise - let it go it was sworn to go
let them go - the truthful liars and the false fair friends and the boths and neithers - you must let them go they were born to go
let all go - the big small middling tall bigger really the biggest and all things - let all go dear
so comes love

Six Ways of Envisioning Loss, by Shara McCallum
usedbookstorepoetry:
1.
The world dissembling: blue mahoe, bougainvillea, hummingbird darting from one red-tongued flower to another.
2.
Like me it shifts in shadows, dark to light, uncoiling the stem and scent of itself.
3.
As if words are rising to the surface of the water. As if I can cup my hands, gather them in my palms and drink.
4.
Listen to me: your hands will become strangers....

Lament, by Rainer Maria Rilke
usedbookstorepoetry:
Oh, everything is far and long ago. I believe that star these thousand years is dead, though I still see its light. I believe, in that boat passing through the night something fearful was said. In the house a clock struck… Where did it strike?… I would like to walk out of my heart under the wide sky. I would like to pray. One of all these stars must still exist. I believe I...

I’ve spent the entire day in the kitchen and it is wonderful.
I made Tomato Soup, Roasted Carrot Soup (two kinds!), and I’m currently working on Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie. I have dough under my fingernails and flour on my nose.
I love it.

I’ll be honest with you…
I’m hoping for happily ever after.
Honestly though,
Isn’t that always the goal?
