Brown Outside Warm Inside

Our daughter Jolene has gone back to college. Her break is over.

Suddenly the house is a lot quieter.

Tim laid this fire for me in the studio wood stove. What a happy Monday!

Except for the rockabilly music tim has rediscovered. Loud and quiet at the same time. This is the second week I’m back in the studio after a break. I’ll post pictures soon. Its a commission.

This is where the juncos like to eat.

For now, Its all I can do to not sit in front of the window and watch the birds.

I love this little plant that grows in the grass!

This is the moment where the thrushes come to take the berries off the pyracantha. The hermit thrush and blue bird thrush come. One hermit did a dance for us in front of the window this weekend. Twice. It was subtle.

Here’s the tea I’m drinking. Earl grey. With milk. In Ronan Peterson’s tea bowl prayer.

Last night I came back from an inspiring meeting of powerful women who are transforming our planet. I made a pot of soup and chatted with Tim in the rockabilly quiet house. We kissed. And I took some bites of his burrito.

And then I got to thinking about yesterday morning and the walk I took and how the plants are moving very slowly right now. So I wrote this poem while I ran a bath.

Wandering in among

rivulets in a

not-any-more-forest.

Am wondering of the prayer I made

for a gentle shift in water

habits

to make a pond.

Am wading to see if it happened.

Soozan looking

into tired blades

of grass.

Pause for Spring.

Tiny in

visible green.

Between hidden in

the folds.

Will appear

later as the days lengthen

and warm.
