about me
I spent last summer at the Peninsula Players Theatre in Wisconsin, cooking breakfast and lunch.... I'm a great cook! I play piano professionally (when I can), am an 'older' student (hahahaha), and wonder where this adventure called life could be taking me next....

Make Incomprehension Be Still (for Quinn) (blog entry)

To my boy, who has a big heart.






I can't see why the gift I wish to give

suddenly becomes a fist...

and no matter how much I love you,

what I feel from you is "I resist"...

So I tell you I'm not a good mother,

...war, a game I won’t play... (blog entry)

I'm clambering onto the boat

of those who fail to 'wage' peace,

who refrain from fighting out of 'love'….

I'm joining the ranks of pacifists

who claim war is game they won't play…

and while it is true I'd rather hang out

Who disturbs the dragon? (blog entry) who disturbs the dragon....

don't wake the sleeping dragon
her eyes are crystal fire
her uncurling claws
uncurb desire
dreaming dragons
spill no blood
why do you disturb
her night?
life's ventures seemed spent;

To my boy, who has a big heart.






I can't see why the gift I wish to give

suddenly becomes a fist...

and no matter how much I love you,

what I feel from you is "I resist"...

So I tell you I'm not a good mother,

which is obvious to me,

then you, my son, usually turn it around,

undoing that idea, so gently,

And what I don't understand then holds hands

with wisdom which was slowly gained,

and I end up knowing it's useless to say much,

I accept... read more

I'm joining the ranks of pacifists

who claim war is game they won't play…

and while it is true I'd rather hang out

with deities who dance and create tenderly,

while I avoid those ranks of devotees

whose god seems too bloodthirsty,

unfortunately murder can be more subtle than not….

death of the spirit,

dampening of the urge to fly, to try…

who disturbs the dragon....

don't wake the sleeping dragon
her eyes are crystal fire
her uncurling claws
uncurb desire
dreaming dragons
spill no blood
why do you disturb
her night?
life's ventures seemed spent;
time gave chance
for repent,
and banking the coals
denied the rent in her heart.
yet a rake
comes a knockin,
saying darlin dream no more...
not even knowing the
depth of the lake,
this scoundrel jumps in,
destroying the quiet within..
daring ... read more

speaking of peace...
(a pantoum)

speaking of peace, this Christmas day
wrestling with the concept as if the garment didn't fit
a voice on the radio urges listeners to wage peace, rather than war
as if the same old path would lead to a different door...

wrestling with the concept as if the garment didn't fit,
paying lip service to a god we secretly deny,
as if the same old path would lead to a different door,
despite all indications otherwise, what we seem to understand is war.
