Where do the geese go when they leave for the winter? Are they journeying home, or are they going away? If you stopped to ask them, I wonder what they would say. Do they enjoy the trip, the chance to soar? I wonder how they came to wander, what made that first goose take to … Continue reading The Geese

You've been gone so longit makes me wonder sometimesif you ever really were. A distant memory nowthat someone could almost make me believeyou were just a figment of my vivid imagination. And yet,deep in my bones,in the pit of my stomach,I know that you were. Without a doubt,you were here. Right here.Tangible,living and breathing.And being … Continue reading You Were
Sparkles.The light glimmers and bounces off the water. The air is thick with the smell of weeds and mud.The trees hum with the vibrations of insects.The leaves rock back and forth in the gentle breeze. A single boat splits the surface of the water sending ripples off, out onto the shores. Turtles pop up their … Continue reading River Beach
In a world that says "there is so much to get done" in so little time,birthdays can feel like checkpoints,where we aren't sure if we'll measure upto where we are "supposed to be by now." Like the minute hand ticking on the clock in the exam roomwhen you still have too many questionsleft to answer. … Continue reading Blessed Birthday
The singing of the cicadas fills my ears. They are singing their last song before the rain and the frosts come,and they die. Their children will slumber through the winter and emerge next summer,to sing their song again. The song of their ancestors. Their song of sweet vibrations is a reminder to live nowas before … Continue reading Cicada Song

Sunset skiesare like a kiss goodbyeat a day's end. Vivid.Full of passion.Full of life. Their colours on full display,they capture us and fill uswith awe and peace,warm our hearts,and make us feel like the world is a little better. But should you turn away,or blink,or just not pay close attention,they are gone and over.A missed … Continue reading Sunset
I am awake. It is dark outside my window. The hats hang on my wall empty,waiting to be worn,waiting to see the daylight,waiting for an adventure. We are all waiting. Waiting to step outside. Ready to free our mouths and spirits. Ready to let go of our worries. Ready to walk hand in hand with … Continue reading Waiting
