All Yours (a weed poem)

asking someone else to

pull your weeds

takes away the seeing of how shallow those roots are

temporary and unrestrained

taking up space

without asking

how can we do this together? no stopping

or pausing

for even the tiniest of moments

to listen slowly

firmly

willingly

they wrap their arms

around everyone else hoarding

soil water air

from those with deeper roots asking someone else to

pull your weeds

takes away your power to pause

for even the tiniest of moments

and discover

your home in all it’s glorious wildness acknowledging

accepting

not apologizing

for being on your knees

with fingers pulling

instead of pointing

Embrace

A photographic series of natural ink sculptures in various stages of their beautiful impermanent life.

Change. The urge to keep time from moving forward. Body and mind moving forward. Watching momentum. When it feels like gravity is no longer a friend. While it floats toward the surface. I float toward the surface. Change. Penetrating while slowly passing. Consistent and constant. This is in my children. I am the teacher. Yet another unfortunate beautiful discovery.

Color Grid Triplet

Color grid with Elderberry, Yarrow, and another color that has been resting without a name, for months. Maybe even a year.
