good night, connecticut moons

composed of all old endings
renewals stretch past horizons
where shall i walk
with legs so strong so new

roses in my stomach
butterflies in my heart
a new moon in the non-moon sky
this is a brand new start

from feet to

for mama earth, etc (yes yes, love love)

i like 
(quite so very much) 
the taste
(salty sweat taste like tears)
(open mouth as i walk thru the forest)
of you 
(you! all around and within and every me)
i like
(yes like the desert loves the rain)
the smell
(nostrils dilating to heartbeat rhythm mother)
(shadows smell different than sunlight)
of you
(you! again! as am i!)
i like 
(infinite and beyond universe yes)
the look
(we see each other. we really do)
(different colors that come from the same source)
of you
(love. that's all we are)
i like 
(yes yes yes)
the sound
(waves crashing of infinite oceans)
(open ears open eyes open heart)
of you 
(open everything courageous everything)
i love
(lovelovevolvelove)
the feel
(rhymthic mother heartbeat mine as yours)
(when i open i feel as i am)
of you 
(i love you
i love i)
mmm

sun-baked bones

i'm rising from my own ashes
so that i may better understand them 
and ride the flames as brightly 
as i as ashes float on the wind
and then bury back into the damp musk of
soil

random acts of soulful beauty

spritzing good smells in unexpected places 
like on street lamps and in train stations

(like frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood)
(or rose and lavender)
(mmm)
---

leaving little love-notes randomly everywhere
saying stuff like 
"thank you for being" 
or "are you happy?" 
or... 
:) 

---

guerilla chalk art
with loving messages and doodles
in the streets
---

flower arrangements left on strangers' doorsteps

floating falling flying being

legends

there is an old chinese myth
of a giant named peng gu 
i want to share it with you 
a story of strength, balance, 
and complete giving and surrender

journeying again

yesterday i deleted and uploaded a bunch of photos 
today i did a fire ceremony and burnt many things 
yesterday i strained many plant oils and vinegars into smaller jars 
today i consolidated many salves and balms into smaller jars
gifts and such 
plant days 
reminiscing days of giving thanks and saying farewell
i will see you in Dreamspace but not in present time again, soon 
sadness, joy, and celebration
and a lot of work!
so much time spent indoors 
organizing and divvying 
i wonder 
what new plants wait at my door 
as i step from this space into another world
yet unknown 
i wonder 
what new friends wait to receive me 
as i step 
with so much emptiness 
into a seeming black hole whole of 
unknowing? 
i wonder 
what new gifts are waiting
i wonder 
what unknown blessings
already on the way 
await
and smile at me as i pack 
and gather up my pack and my wits 
gathering all of myself 
as i journey forth
again
again 
again
?
