Savor

I am frozen...
Three of mine
willfully combined
laughing
Running
With Big Sticks
and bare feet..
darkness creeps closer
I don't dare break the spell
I can't speak
I can't breath
I can only will this moment...
this peace...
to find a space 
in and between
each and every one of my cells.
I will store its fatness 
so I won't starve 
on famine nights 

Spring Bare-foot test... barely... passed

I had almost given up.  Seriously.  I had no hope left.   This spring/summer better be a good one or I may have to reconsider my relationship with the Pacific Northwest.

My gazingus pins

A gazingus pin is something that you just buy.  You may not have it in that color.  You may not have quite that flavor.  You tend to have a lot of them, far more than you really need, and sometimes you may even have more than you can use.  Common examples are flavored lip balm, or shoes, or yarn.  Alternatively they could be the latest electronic thing, or power tools, and so on.  They’re tiny pleasures, but if overdone, the pleasure can be diluted because it has become a habit more than a treat.  And sometimes they’re not so tiny pleasures because the gazingus pin in question is expensive or the sheer quantity of pins adds up disproportionate to a person’s budget.  When either one of those scenarios happen, it’s a good idea to think mindfully about the spending habit and maybe even cut back on it.
