some nights healing sleep escapes me monkey mind needs a switch (or a good spanking) good thing I have the space & time for a nap! ... So when you dream Spider Woman (the weaver of the Uni-verse) says to me: "hang a dreamcatcher in your window good dreams come thru the center, bad dreams caught in m...

in the yard
a pile of feathers
left in the dust
evidence!

gone bird

my pieces

Ahhhah! This certainly was healing this morning as it made me smile...

Thank you sasha! It was a fun flow for me. I am an herbalist and Choctaw (just a dab) on my maternal Grandmother's side. My mother was a bird "whisperer" as am I.

Wow, SooZ! This may be the best story I've seen comin' outta your fingertips. Masterfully expressed like the event was something out of your life it is so real life. I love it, dear...more!

Tearing the rusty tin roof off my garden shed and tossing it into the dead old elm where it hung like a flag waving in the stiff breeze.

Okey dokey!

Looking forward to seeing what this will engender. Thank you judih and Doreen for the new space. Instead of writing new poems or new stories, I would (and will) post some stuff that is my archive that could use some "variations..."
