the view from my kitchen window tonight is haunting and so very Maine to me.

For sale or rent...

Ode to the present {fragment}, by Pablo Neruda

2009-06-30T10:22:00.000-07:00

This
moment
as smooth
as a board,
and fresh,
this hour,
this day
as clean
as an untouched glass
not a single
spiderweb
from the past:
we touch
the moment
with our fingers,
we cut it
to size,
we direct
its blooming.
It's living,
it's alive:
it brings nothing
from yesterday that can't be redeemed,
nothing from the past.

Police

2009-06-10T06:38:00.001-07:00

Rolled through a stop sign this morning-
Got pulled over (right in front of my office).
Was called ma'am twice.
But no ticket-

Monterey Bay

is now the colour of my bathroom. Although-it almost reminds me of a blue highlighter-damn.

This day is mine.

2009-06-06T05:23:00.000-07:00

Off to the farmer's market-no obligations, no plans.
nice.

Sunshine

2009-06-02T08:48:00.000-07:00

The sun is here.
Now I must remember to enjoy it.

driving to bangor...

2009-05-28T04:01:00.000-07:00

in the rain.
send sun soon.

singing

2009-05-24T09:43:00.000-07:00

some days, I sing while I wait-
other days, it is so silent
I can hear the wind's every breath.

Friday

Hopeful for a relaxed but productive long weekend-

Laughing Brains

2009-05-21T08:28:00.000-07:00

A happy brain is a healthy brain-

vampires suck.

2009-05-20T09:13:00.000-07:00

wondering.

2009-05-19T10:59:00.000-07:00

why?

2009-05-18T13:18:00.000-07:00

and do I really care?

In memory's telephoto lens, far objects are magnified. ~John Updike

I think...

2009-05-15T12:05:00.000-07:00

I think too much-

the mind: don't go there alone.

2009-05-14T06:52:00.000-07:00

This juxtaposition of callousness and extreme sensitivity seemed suspicious even to me-

Tunnel Vision

2009-05-11T12:39:00.001-07:00

My fine line between brillance and madness has been smudged.
I think I'm okay with that-
as long as there are no fingerprints.

Stirring up-

2009-05-08T11:16:00.000-07:00

The great sea stirs me
The great sea sets me adrift
It sways me like a weed
on a river stone

The sky's height stirs me
The strong winds blow through my mind
It carries me with it
and moves my soul with joy.

~Song of the Uranuk Woman
Shaman of the Inuit, circa 1920

Today, I am trying to remember to look up without tripping over myself.

2009-05-06T09:35:00.000-07:00

There's a hole in the sky Dear Liza, Dear Liza.

The Freak Out

I am not sure the box I have kept you in all these years will be big enough for you now.

Easter Morning: Sunrise

I Died For Beauty

I died for beauty, but was scarce

Adjusted in the tomb,

When one who died for truth was lain

In an adjoining room.

He questioned softly why I failed?

“For beauty,” I replied.

“And I for truth - the two are one;

We brethren are,” he said.

And so, as kinsmen met a-night,

We talked between the rooms,

Until the moss had reached our lips,

And covered up our names.

~Emily Dickinson
