6 Weeks in Europe
Traveling is always magical for me, because I’m not seeing anything familiar so I’m free to be completely present in the new environment where I find myself. (And I do think travel helps me find myself – my humanity, my connection to the larger world and its inhabitants.) I turn my head and am captured …

One of My Poems Won 3rd Place in the 8th Annual Writer’s Digest Poetry Competition!
Hummingbird Percussive wing song. Throb of muscle and sinew. Sweet tooth en plein air. A cinnabar dash rises like fury, strokes the weathered verdigris of lamb’s ear to paint cayenne and emerald across a simple sage-blue sky.
