morning light
most mornings. I like to– to the watch the trees dance. their lives outside my window. sometimes- I go out and breathe them in. let the wind cup my face like a long lost lover. this morning- I woke up singing a song that I have forgotten the words to…but know the melody by heart. it’s in my head and […]

hope in my hands

enough
I recently finished craft-fulness: mend yourself by making things. the book did not present any earth shattering revelations but it did remind me of why I do what I do…i love it.
