When I Was 6

Just noticed the leaves on the Black Walnut are starting to unfurl, as more rain falls, and the sky is gray. Beside me on the shelf sit a trio of ferns, each different from the other, and each a new purchase, something to green up my little nook when I can’t be outside in my garden. I find them inspiring, beautiful, soothing, and they seem … Continue reading When I Was 6

Life, poetry

mythologising, and then she said

this morning, up before the dawn hunting the snark, the lies of lousy leaders and lascivious letches, you know, the usual suspects, lost and found, i had discovered, pillars to live by: belong, have a purpose, transcend, and tell tales, she said. so after a nap, and a peek at more trolls, then a visit from a friend, and maybe it was his tale of … Continue reading mythologising, and then she said

  • Of Superpower, Wealthy White Boys, Botox’d Stepford Poodles and Hope
    I think each of us has our own superpower. A thing we do with uncommon skill. It often, I’ve discovered, takes a good while to find, or accept, or understand, or feel. It’s different in everyone, how it manifests, and when. Often, or just as often, we are tricked into believing that our superpower is the thing we are maybe most known for. However, over …
  • Lessons on Resilience from Canadian Solidarity
    I’m an American citizen who grew up in Canada—because why settle for a normal childhood when you can have a frosty mix of hockey, maple syrup, and universal healthcare? My dad is American and my mom is Canadian. The one element that defines both families, is generations of ancestors in the same place, on the same land, going back to well before the founding of …
