both ~ away ~

.

one is across the country,

the other ~ across an ocean

and

I am in the center waiting ~

.

neither

here or there ~

.

just

waiting ~

.

waiting for this ~ profound

loneliness

to

float

away ~

Peyton

his smile brings

more warmth and light

to my heart

than

even

the most perfect sunshiny day ~

Big Pee and a fish.

cookies

.

i can be the milk to your cookie…

i can even be the chocolate chip to your cookie…

but

i cannot be the plate to your cookie…

…

i never want to be left behind.

a little reminder

‘

when it is dark

and

you are afraid,

close your eyes

and

listen with your heart

to

a familiar rhythm in the distance ~ ~

it led you into this world

and

it will be with you ~ always ~

onward young man…

…

many miles ahead…

dreams waiting to be embraced…

grab the wheel and drive…

…

…

the day before he hit the open road…

…

An update on my son who resembles a yeti:

The ‘guy’ and two gals have been hanging out in CO…hiking, site seeing, exploring the Rocky Mountains, Boulder, Denver, Four Corners, Flagstaff…tomorrow they will be driving to the City of Angels.

meandering harmoniously ~

peacefully ~ ~

if only

humankind could do the same.

searching ~

.

i have been searching for a story

with a happy ending ~

something simple

not grand,

no complications or pain.

.

a production of sorts ~

words dancing on pages,

pages waltzing through chapters,

chapters leaping between covers…

all bound by a simple

beginning,

middle

&

end.

.

can it be such a story truly exists

or

am i fooling my heart ~ wasting

my days ~ searching

for

a

book

I can… will… never write?
