Come On In...

I see myself as I was... as I began. You are me... back then. I am you... now. Is there one, is there two, is there three of us? At times, confused by the trembling voices. No longer afraid to feel your sadness. Where there was once a picture there is empty space. A bare table... only chipped wood and faded paint remain. The photo gone... misplaced. It reminds me of a time when night after night shouts led to nothing and I wasn't sure which was worse. Now I know it's the noth

This garden borders the left side of the backyard. It buffers the fence that is shared with my sweet neighbors. I started to the work on this bed about 6 years ago when we planted a young flowering Pear tree (ornamental) and a young Purple Leaf Filbert (hazelnut) tree. Two years ago, in the fall, I began measuring and digging for a bed to include the 2 trees and allow for plants as well.

Not sure But, it feels like I'm flying. Smiling. Twirling. Perhaps I'm falling. Pry my eyes open. Gotta watch This drug. It can be potent. Duck my head.
