Namaste tribe collective Yesterday was another day of #poembomb ing the city. Such a small gesture is ideally turning heads to a few fresh wonders like, "poetry! i should go write some..."; "innovation! are they allowed to hang that there?; or "ha! look at these silly artists... they're always up to something..." Needless to say, this harmless emotion emulsion has been cheering me up for days in ways I haven't felt for a few months. So that's...
To cheer me up during a somewhat solemn period, I was blessed to have a companion accompany me yesterday to #poembomb New York City. This entailed copying some book pages and scampering around Manhattan to share some of the words that have held my bones together over the years.

Five years ago, I celebrated with my whole family nearly. Last year, I was out in Colorado with my best friend of over 30 years. This year, it's just me, my parents and one of my four siblings. I guess I should say three siblings, considering how I had to...
Too long has gone by blog tribe. I wish I had better excuses for my gone-ness. The only excuse I really have is... secrets. I've been crazy busy. Job applying, city running, puppy playing. I'm edgy and excited over where I'll end up when the next job arrives. Also, I think about my book until it keeps me up at night. The environment around me remains stunning. I've experienced autumn at least three times, traveling up and down the north-east...
