Fertile Ground

2010-02-10 Poetry

Back in it, sur­rounded by the illu­sion my mind con­structs from the images, the sounds, the aro­mas, the taste of the air.
Hav­ing lived, just there, I remem­ber the lonely alien­ation that was my real­ity of here, then.
Still, enough of the trap­pings have changed to make this scene
fer­tile ground.

In Between

2010-02-09 Prose

Here I am among six bil­lions filled with an abid­ing lone­li­ness as I pass through this moment in tran­si­tion from where I was to where I will be. I am in between. In between is one of the three places I have lived my life. The other two are almost there and here, now.
When I am here, now, the time and events are not catalogued […]

This isn’t what I planned

2010-02-08 Poetry

This isn’t what I planned, were I thought I’d be, what I thought I’d be doing.
This isn’t what I planned, who I thought I’d be, what I thought I’d be doing too.
But I like where I am, the road that got me here, the folks I met along the road.
But I like where I am, the who I have become, the folks I met along the road too.

Always On

2010-01-28 Poetry

Swim, float, sink and breathe water, evolve, eve love.
Save and cast into the pool of what needs not to be saved.
Are and Am!
We wor­ship at the altar of impa­tience and patience of our own trans­for­ma­tion from what we were to what we will be.

On the Salish Sea

2010-01-04 Personal

I live here. By choice. I came here once upon a time and fell in love with place. I decided then that, “When I stopped mov­ing around” this is where I would come. And I did. It was a decade later that I arrived here again. That sec­ond arrival was more than a decade ago now. That makes this place home, com­pletely home.
