my hidden muse

2012-01-30T18:00:00.000-05:00

Beside closed doors,

she spoke of growth.

(Moving on.)

2012-01-27T07:00:00.000-05:00

They say it's heavy

and the power might go out.

(I'm ok with that.)

2012-01-26T07:00:00.000-05:00

Fool the eye.

(What is visible?)

2012-01-25T07:00:00.000-05:00

Trust your gut.

(Layers of attention.)

2012-01-24T07:00:00.000-05:00

My need for organization.

(Acknowledged.)

2012-01-23T07:00:00.000-05:00

Stringing up moments—

one to the next—

an ordinary day

(is beautiful).

2012-01-20T07:00:00.000-05:00

Barely fitting in a single line.

(But the busy has been good.)

2012-01-19T07:00:00.000-05:00

Look again!

(Everything is coming up roses.)

2012-01-18T07:00:00.000-05:00

Crossing a shadow (on the road).

2012-01-17T07:00:00.000-05:00

Atmospheric pressure.

(The effects of...)

2012-01-16T07:00:00.000-05:00

This is my subconscious

telling me something about

a ship coming in.

(Or maybe I'm missing the boat?)

2011-12-30T07:00:00.000-05:00

This is what it is—

right here, right now—

I'm looking at it

(like that).

2011-12-29T07:00:00.000-05:00

Atmospheric pressure.

(The effects of...)

2011-12-28T07:00:00.000-05:00

Plant a seed. (Grow a mood?)

2011-12-27T07:00:00.000-05:00

Step right in— take root.

(Are you firmly planted?)

2011-12-26T07:00:00.000-05:00

What a fantastical journey!

(Outlook for life.)

2011-12-23T07:00:00.000-05:00

Meditation. (Peace.)

2011-12-22T07:00:00.000-05:00

Behold, I will show you.

(But I'm a fish out of water!)

2011-12-21T07:00:00.000-05:00

(Where are the wild things?)

2011-12-20T07:00:00.000-05:00

I see you. (You are welcome.)

2011-12-19T07:00:00.000-05:00

I'm a little teapot short and stout,

tip me over— pour me out.

(The innocence of childhood.)

2011-12-16T07:00:00.000-05:00

In the landscape. (Not lost.)

2011-12-15T07:00:00.000-05:00

My mind is everywhere today.

(Can you see it in my face?)

2011-12-14T07:00:00.000-05:00

This one is about bravery,

mountains, and beyond.

(Continuing process.)

2011-12-13T07:00:00.000-05:00

Perch. (Settling the mind flight.)

2011-12-12T07:00:00.000-05:00

Something tells me: Look here.

(I hear: There's a light

at the end of this tunnel.)

2011-12-09T07:00:00.000-05:00

Sit down and write.

(Ten minutes, keep it moving.)

2011-12-08T07:00:00.000-05:00

A sudden chilly landscape.

(Where is my sweater?)

2011-12-07T07:00:00.000-05:00

Slowly, slowly.

(You have been cocooned.)

2011-12-06T07:00:00.000-05:00

This is not my fairytale.

(Does the shoe fit?)

I bought hiking boots!

2011-12-05T08:00:00.000-05:00

Have a seat, I'll be with you in a moment.

(What I've said to myself.)

2011-12-02T07:00:00.000-05:00

Do you recognize your constitution?

(Made from many parts of different things.)

2011-12-01T07:00:00.000-05:00

Do you feel nervous? (Boxed in?)

2011-11-30T07:00:00.000-05:00

Caught in the clip.

(Indecision makes me blue.)

2011-11-29T07:00:00.001-05:00

It all adds up

(when the currency is time).

2011-11-28T07:00:00.000-05:00

The life of a butterfly.

(Look back on what you once were.)

2011-11-25T07:00:00.000-05:00

This is a rather frightening one

as I think about the edges of things.

(Her fingernails— neatly trimmed.

The moon shines in my window.)

Look how we keep it all under control!

2011-11-24T07:00:00.000-05:00

Look for evidence of growth.

(Now and then.)

2011-11-23T07:00:00.000-05:00

Is the opposite of a light heart

the heaviness of thought?

2011-11-22T07:00:00.000-05:00

My silence?

(Does it really need words?)

2011-11-21T07:00:00.000-05:00

Practice is a form of prayer.

(How it carries me.)

2011-11-18T07:00:00.000-05:00

We never stop growing.

(Continue to care.)

2011-11-17T07:00:00.000-05:00

Who am I?

(It's different every day.)

2011-11-16T07:00:00.000-05:00

Intuition. (It's mystical.)

2011-11-15T07:00:00.000-05:00

This is what it feels like

to admit you are lost.

(Give in. Enjoy the rain.)

2011-11-14T07:00:00.000-05:00

It was a fine showing,

(but I still felt unseen).

2011-11-11T07:00:00.000-05:00

Like a genie in a bottle.

(How serendipity takes over.)

2011-11-10T07:30:00.000-05:00

Oh look! You are in the belly

of a bubbling cat.

(Lift us away, laughing.)

2011-11-09T07:30:00.000-05:00

A sudden change of plans.

(How it feels to lose

what I didn't know I was

looking forward to.)

2011-11-08T07:00:00.000-05:00

One—or infinite?

(Choices and outcomes.)

2011-11-07T07:00:00.000-05:00

Clothes only hide so much.

(Feeling heavy.)

2011-11-04T07:00:00.000-04:00

How long was I asleep?

(How we wake up.)

2011-11-03T07:00:00.000-04:00

This is a scribble.

(Just plow through, remember?)

2011-11-02T07:45:00.000-04:00

We all hold something close.

(A worried strand of pearls.)

2011-10-28T07:00:00.000-04:00

Despite best intentions.

(We are not in control.)

2011-10-27T07:00:00.000-04:00

I'll follow the sun!

(Bliss. My purple kayak.)

2011-10-26T07:00:00.000-04:00

In each day there are points

of sharpness. (Clarity?) Ouch.

2011-10-25T07:00:00.000-04:00

Just for a second:

Did I look like a loon?

2011-10-24T07:00:00.000-04:00

Deep. (How it reaches to my feet.)

2011-10-21T07:00:00.000-04:00

Grabbing the sashes.

(Enough with closed windows!)

2011-10-20T07:00:00.000-04:00

Tell me a story, pour me some tea.

(Settling in with my barefoot mind.)

2011-10-19T09:00:00.000-04:00

Shifting away from neutral, weathered—

heading toward the busy, bright. (Changing gears.)

2011-10-17T07:00:00.000-04:00

Her lonely subconscious dreamed in pairs.

(A form of hunger, a search for words.)

2011-10-14T07:00:00.000-04:00

Recognize it for what it is.

(It's ok to feel the disappointment.)

2011-10-13T07:00:00.000-04:00

Invisible.

(That is more interesting than me.)

2011-10-12T07:00:00.000-04:00

Worrying delicate pearls.

(String them up, make a list.

Wear them out to dinner.)

2011-10-11T07:00:00.000-04:00

Win some, lose some. (A familiar brick.)

2011-10-10T11:00:00.000-04:00

This is one is how we worry

about weather(ing).

2011-10-07T07:00:00.001-04:00

A quick draw.

(My thoughts flit, foreshortened.)

2011-10-06T07:00:00.000-04:00

Darn! (Now I'm streaked and

on the edge of blue.)

2011-10-05T07:00:00.000-04:00

Just relaxing with a primitive line.

(Sit with me.)

2011-10-04T07:00:00.000-04:00

In suspicion of hidden wings.

(Always on the lookout.)

2011-10-03T07:00:00.000-04:00

Sunrise, sunset— there is a glow.

(Reflecting.)

2011-09-30T12:00:00.000-04:00

Queasy, foreshortened, direct.

(When we don't see eye to eye.)

2011-09-29T07:00:00.000-04:00

Find a different channel: are you listening carefully?

(Required: a delicate tuning of the ears.)

2011-09-28T07:00:00.000-04:00

. . .

(Fear is a big show.)

2011-09-27T07:00:00.000-04:00

Interpret the language of dreams. . .

(Ancient hieroglyphics.)

2011-09-26T14:00:00.000-04:00

A faint presence.

(I am still here, on the page.)

2011-09-23T11:12:00.001-04:00

Where— in the grand scheme of things?

(Here I am again.)

080411

2011-08-04T16:20:00.002-04:00

Sitting down.

(Sometimes I need to build the chair.)

051011

2011-07-15T10:00:00.001-04:00

Quiet down, monkey mind!

(I'd like to find my focus.)

050911

2011-07-01T08:00:00.001-04:00

Dear Bird, you have me dreaming by the window.

(Thank you.)

050711

2011-06-30T20:00:00.001-04:00

Allergies!

(My throat tickles.)

050511

2011-06-29T08:00:00.001-04:00

(hidden text)

050811

2011-06-28T20:00:00.000-04:00

Just lounging on the porch.

(Wish you were here!)

050411

2011-06-24T10:00:00.000-04:00

Drip, drip. Drip.

(The rain is part of my song.)

050311

2011-06-23T19:45:00.006-04:00

Emerge(nt).

Muted colors.

042811

2011-06-22T16:00:00.001-04:00

This one is about my travel anxiety.

(It sits on my head like a cap.)

042611

2011-06-21T12:15:00.001-04:00

And just like that, lightness landed on my shoulder.

(I am in good company.)

042311

2011-06-20T07:30:00.000-04:00

A piece of banana hit me in the eye!

(It's blinky— very uncomfortable.)

042111

2011-06-17T08:00:00.000-04:00

Who is that?

(Who is looking over your shoulder?)

042011

2011-06-16T16:00:00.000-04:00

Hello dear heart.

(My mouth had nothing to say.)

041811

2011-06-15T21:30:00.000-04:00

Forget about the hair (but not the eyes).

Jaunty acorn cap,

Bird.

Fly away!

Fair.

041711

2011-06-14T12:20:00.000-04:00

How much we are like trees.

(Thinking.)

041311

2011-06-13T11:15:00.000-04:00

I didn't plan to worry about gray.

(She was.)

041211

2011-06-10T07:45:00.001-04:00

Negative space? Positive light.

Solve for x. (An equation.)

041111

2011-06-09T07:45:00.002-04:00

Cradle the sudden growth!

(Imagination flowers.)

041011

2011-06-08T10:00:00.001-04:00

Where did I go?

(Parlor trick.)

040911

2011-06-07T13:20:00.000-04:00

How am I? (How I am.)

1)Morning 2)Noon 3)Night

040711

2011-06-06T14:00:00.000-04:00

How many times do we start over?

(Here, it was twice.)
