• Higher Love

  Mum, 
  was I seven, may be eight
  with you in this photo?

  The seesaw signaling perhaps
  how life would 
  separate us so

  Each sitting on our own side
  the Atlantic’s breadth between us wide

  It could sink a heavy heart
  But the further seesaw seats apart

  the deeper the dips and higher the rise
  And so it occurs to me, likewise

  The deeper love can go
  then the higher love can soar

  That must be what the distance’s for

• My Blue Ridge Beatitude

  28 years ago I had a nervous breakdown. It was devastating. I found healing in the mountains of western North Carolina. This week I finally found the words to make peace with what happened to me. Writing is my therapy.

  After I read my words, I realize there were gentle signs along the way directing me towards my healing – though I did not realize it at the time. It brings to mind a favourite quote from Danish philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard.

  “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”

  Miss Canna barges into summer like a slutty diner waitress serving up busty ketchup and mustard blooms. Shy Boy Cortez gets an unexpected surprise.

• Tonala Parrot

  I love this little parrot. It’s vintage Tonala pottery from Jalisco, Mexico. I think it’s a Carlos Villanueva piece. He’s sitting in a Tlaquepaque casserole dish – which is serving as a bird bath in my tiny garden.
