...this particular weekend's passing impressions...
noticing hand stitched black bonnets and shawls
crossing the road in a hurry crowning in rhythm
delivering frosted cupcakes
smiling with thanks
traveling up to a shaker mountain
being cleansed by a hawk feather
honoring grandma, mother, sister,: speaker
caring an eight hundred year bundle of tobacco
blowing smoke in 7 directions
eating deep red borscht and bright rich orange squash
listening to an elderly surfer describe Hawaiian waves
watching him wipes his eye on noting his partner left and now loves another
experiencing awe in the story of colorful fish matting in the Keys
imagining Mushrooms growing in cow dung piles all over Florida's flat lands
recognizing the politics of any group always exists even in a Sufi retreat center
meeting Meredith who washes dishes, does yoga, and lives at the abode
sighting orange rooster strutting around making his presence known
preparing tea as an offering for well being
providing presence as often as possible for connection
