alaska reflection.




















fall has sprung in california. in its own way... in the subtle change of breeze and clouds. there is a coolness in the air, and i feel the nostalgic return to routine and season, refreshing my spirit. i walked slowly today. talked for hours with good friends who feed me. remembered why i love connection. realized again with a sigh of relief that i am normal, breathing feeling and truly ok. gave thanks.

i need this reflection. the gaze across a line invisible. i need to see the blue of the sky beneath my feet, and the texture of green stretching down, as well as up. i need the motion of air across the water, and the stillness as well.

i need this company. on these days where sitting knees curled on my front porch is heaven enough. a cup of coffee and messages on my voicemail. familiar faces looking back at me, and understanding on the other line. questions asked sincerely. food cooked with love, and shared with conversation.

i need the other to laugh with me until my belly hurts. i need to try to understand another side, and listen as i'm heard. i need to let the love in, and sit all the way into the grass.

i need my friends.
