Today had already turned tomorrow, only just, and I was trying to listen to you, an old friend, while I ate room-temperature beef with chimichurri, the fatty pieces were all that was left, and then cantaloupe from a plastic container and then pretzels infused with peanut butter

or peanut butter enveloped in pretzel, depending on how you see it,

from a larger plastic container and then I went for a shower so you two could chat without me there and mostly, too, so that I could be on my own, with my pretty thoughts and impulses, my calm head, my happy heart and body, one that had just moved moved moved all day and night long

happy to be free to flow

This year is the year of the snake; I’ve been visited by many snails and slugs, things shaped how their names sound

or named for the shape of them, depending on how you see it,

I am having a hard time lying these days — I cannot unknow what I know about how Good and light and open it feels to maintain integrated with my heart,

in coherence, we are calling it

and that’s what I’ve thanked myself for — for being brave enough to embark on a journey that may take me somewhere intensely uncomfortable, led only by a faith in a gut feeling; accompanied only by those whose courage parallels my own. Doing it scared riding the fear — however you see it in your mind’s eye

I am teaching great classes I look different I sound different I like the sound of my own voice and I am less afraid of how I walk and how I dance

I close my eyes and lift my arms above my head and I believe that there’s something in the stars for me and I don’t apologize for any of it!

It’s not that serious!

The first sound I ever heard from Goodness was her laugh — so, let’s laugh with spirit, infuse humor into prayer because

What other steady relationship you know is one based solely on complaints?
