Synchronicity swirling around me again, I am having the Week of Addressing Disabilities. My supervisor recruited me to speak about the clinic at a middle school for a diversity workshop they held yesterday. I decided to integrate some talk about myself too, and it worked beautifully. I was able to start with my arm and [...]

april, rain(n)
April 29, 2008 – 9:52 pm
it’s nearly the end of april
rain keeps calling: dig deep,
go within, and rediscover
that serpent coiled and sleeping
too soundly, a knot
at the base of my spine.
it’s got me on a kick
painting in binary code
blasting tori, screaming
all off key and laughing
(the names of our daughters
are pins in a map
to find this:
who are we now?
motherswomen)
where is my sex, [...]

I am reading Eat Pray Love. Only I am not. I am devouring, relishing, tasting, experiencing it.
I am Eating it, Praying it, Loving it.
I’ll write a response to it when I finish, I just have to! But not a review. Would you review the Bible? Well, I would… yes, I would, so it’s a poor [...]
scary blog tiresome brain
April 7, 2008 – 2:38 pm
Sometimes the concept of blogging just totally freaks me out. It’s so… publishy. My thoughts are online, visible to the public, and I feel committed to them then. Like yesterday I was all aglow about being a mom and a women in her thirties and now I feel like a colossal mess and it’s like [...]

April 6, 2008 – 12:47 pm
Often I’m having this feeling that my psyche is finally coalescing and settling in. I’m more comfortable in this existence, and I’m owning my mental and physical space more. I feel at home in my body, listening to its complaints and pleasures more, intuiting its rhythms and tides. I’m more assertive about my choices- like [...]
mindfulness and stillness: it turns out i don’t really like
April 5, 2008 – 11:10 pm
The meditation workshop was, shockingly, torturous. I thought a day of Buddhist mindfulness meditation would be like a tall, clear glass of water where my soul is a thirsty throat. Instead, I found it perfectly excruciating. My internal dialog was a constant barrage of “I suck at this,” and when I finally found some peace [...]
pre-spring rain
February 5, 2008 – 6:04 pm
there is a warm rain today. huge drops like the last few tears dropping onto a small child’s cheek after you’ve already made her laugh.
i wore a three-quarters sleeve shirt today, my favorite: exactly the length to fit my small arm and not bunch or roll or need to be folded under.

Schmutzie (Milk Money or Not Here I Come) is one of my Superstar Bloggers, the ones I read and never comment on because they seem to have actual fans more than readers and commenting feels like sending a pop singer a love letter. But this post today about boredom, overstilulation and the mundane minutae of our [...]

O Mah Gawdduss, Fabulous! An extra hour. Waking at seven (ok, seven-ish) felt like 8! So I have been in exemplary OCD cleaning mode- seriously, I fanned the sleeves of my shirts and spaced the hangers evenly. It’s an illness: utter chaos or hyper-organized, I recognize no gray areas. There are labeled boxes. (The Birdy [...]
