      Apparently this is how you propagate papyrus plants. Cut the leaves short and sit the stalks upside down in water until the roots grow.

    • 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.

      Music is Girl Like Me (twocolors remix), Black Eyed Peas, Shakira & twocolors.

    • 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.

      This year’s garden is already bringing me so much joy. It’s like a little Indian jewel box.
