Everything, sometimes, goes wrong. I look up for light but I’m anxious, fearful, filled with dread. However, what if JUST FOR TODAY, I am open to new changes, new possibilities?

Shine On
Let’s be positive. And let’s be real. Actually not real, just positive. Let’s only emit positivity. Lets shine our light on the Earth, and all it’s miraculous offerings. Be silent. Be still. Be positive. Maybe, just for today, I’ll love you instead of doubt you. Maybe just for today I’ll create a poem or art…

Fossils and Sea Glass
This morning I took a train to Mexico. The track edged along a bottle green sea. The end of the line was the most perfect photo opportunity. Sun and water glistened in a sphere, but I couldn’t bring the lens into focus. I walked into town, picking over cobblestones and through the smoke of roasting…
