Keep the day after snowstorms!
When your edges are sharpened, with joy or sorrow, with no time for doubt, words flow and your write, knowing you are orphans of today, of falling snow, of things deep and unspoken, of an endless journey for tomorrow, and even if darkness spreads around you, and even if you wait for the cold moon’s…

Keep the snow and the sighting of an American robin!
Snow as it falls, scatters and gains possession of the earth, and trees hang up their branches, as an American robin appears, suddenly hungry, the air drips of fallen snow, like ant filing out a wood, only this isn’t wood, and though we are not American robins, they know those who do not befriend snow…

Keep protecting your light!
I was reminded by a dear friend the other day that when I thought I dimmed my light, when during the transition year of 2023, the chaos and conflicts, the move from one place to another brought so much bitterness and anger, when I dimmed my energy, when I didn’t even acknowledge that I was…

Keep looking inside!

Keep words for every day things you love in 2025!
Everyday, I am surrounded by ideas beautiful, one of which is you, words to keep, firing up my life as nothing else could. Of course there are things to do, places to go, children to raise, and people to love, but still the thought of keeping words, one at a time, is like the red…

Keep the sounds of love for 2024!
This evening as we gathered together, I listened to sounds of those that hold us close. One was crying, my first son. He had just used his dad’s clippers to scrap hair off his head. His little brothers and older sister talked about getting him a toupe to cover his head as his dad tried…

Keep your name and the peace it brings!
And the dreams of my father, those nurtured in a place where sands are red, spoke to me again, from the depths of our soul, through storms raging, through torrents pouring, saying even anger will never reach your soul, even if hot pebbles fall on your bare skin, even if the heavens force the skies…

Keep these moments!
If I were to love what I love, like wild geese who know life is not about being good, then I would begin by telling stories of times I suffered, times I cried, times I laughed, yet still times, I prayed, meanwhile, the ocean continues to flow in its own way, its waters move back…

Keep following your bright star!
There up in the sky, there like a season, a greeting, in the darkness of the night, are stars shining brightly for all those moments you bless in pain, those you cherish for no gain, every single time, you wished time passed gently, leaving nothing behind, whether the day remembers or the night forgets, know…

Keep knowing you belong here!
You belong here, as do the ocean, your children, your husband, your hopes, your hurdles, your dreams, your desires, the legs that walk this earth, the eyes that see these trees, you belong here, next to things that challenge you, next to moments we face our fears, next to one particular harbor, next to a…
