time,
steady your
shaking,
anxious
hand.

breathe the calm
of treading
the moment.

guide my wandering
thoughts,
trace his eyes
to mine,
and bring this
frightened
heart
home.

[time, take 2.]

time,

steady your hand,

stay your blow,

just this once,

love, please.

praying to the showerhead once again.
hands held open,
as if welcoming, waiting for this rain.
a cleanse,
a fresh start.

a conscious decision to stare up yet again,
to dive into the confusion of that which is unseen.
universe, speak.
god, who?

as the old, closed tunnel reforms into a bright, new path,
it is not me who brings me back.
not this time.

it is for you..

universe, guide.
god, love.

revel in the
present,
look not to the
future.
reading palms
& searching
stars can only
go so far.

who & what
we are
now
is radiant
enough.

'they confound the radiance of the stars of heaven with the radiations which a duck's foot leaves in the mud.'
[victor hugo, 'les miserables']

your words
sang sweet
some peace
this heart
drank dear.

[exploring
love in
many
contexts..]

bonjour, amor.

i'm finding it hard to discover things to write about these days.

lately, my days have been filled both with children's temper tantrums and naively beautiful sayings, with frenzied and furied phone calls, as well as rejoicing and searching voices. with my thoughts swinging from searching for a place to thinking i have been found.

in a word: instability.

a new house, new neighborhood, new jobs. a group of friends who are all finding our own place. jobs taking time, discovering who gives us comfort and love.

but i feel this is a time of self discovery, of stabilization. realizing that i am me, and being accepted for who we each are is something that everyone is seeking.

so anyways. felt the need to update for a moment. and now i'm over it. off to the beach and seeing some dear ones tonight.

wishing for complete honesty in all parts of life ..
kristin.

walked on the
other side of
the road
today.

wonder if
that
will make
the difference.

on a day
stained with
shattered
glass & holy
darkness,

a smile
&
a presence
guides the
way.

the
universe
is a
whispered
thankful
choir.
