Healthy days

I'm giving up sugar for a month to work for a month of healthier eating. Diabetes runs in my family, so I am eager to avoid the disease by finding healthier habits!

Never really gone...

Finding brief glimpses of the past
breathing like lost glimmers in bubbles in July picnic bliss
You are not where you are supposed to be
Yet you are finding me in my every moment


This is the summer of '82
Where the Riverbanks zoo has yellow jackets stingin
Where the rocks glisten in the Broad River
and yesterday was just a rollerskating bliss and maybe a few
stubbed toes or bent feelings

This is the tide rolling in at Ocean Isle
The crabs that skitter like a wave as I run across the sand
toes sticking to the wet beach
feet too small to keep up
hands to small to reach your hand before
you go.

Ever Present

Ever present

You are the wave

The flow in motion

You are the thunder

crying out against injustice

Ever present

You are the wind

breathing the breath of inspiration

You are the quiet

offering healing solace.

Ever present

You are the Source

The life-bringer of Spring

You are the Circle

moving in cycles of life and death.

Ever present

You are within us

We are the Circle

moving in cycles of life and death.
