OCEANS

 

We come from the ocean—our water mother. The more we feel her, protect her both outside us and inside us, the more whole we become and the more we support life on our planet.

My poem OCEANS from our book, EVERYDAY MERMAID.

Happy Mother's Day

 

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you who have mothered in any way. My wish is that in the burgeoning #MeToo Movement that “mothering” gets as much respect as all the other issues we are fighting for.

Announcement! Announcement!

I am excited. Everyday Mermaid, our poetry art book, is now available online.

The digital landscape brings both a magical luminesce and a closer look at the tactile cut, layered, and stitched fabric art cradling the poems. The book is now available online and as a digital download through a thousand flowers®.  The synergy of these different viewing options creates a new exploratory artwork.

This is our way of celebrating April’s National Poetry Month.

International Women's Day

 

Another side of being a woman is a tremendous feeling of beauty, fragility, delicateness, pleasure. Our bodies can feel the full pulse of life. I am grateful to be born a woman.

Post Insurrection Poem

 

a little at sea
is me
as I sit
in this gorgeous
sonoma day—
wittering birds
sun shining trees
slight breeze—
coming down
slowly from
hard days
past.
worrying—a loose noose
‘round my neck
while letting in
nature’s gift
slow    ly
oh.
the sea
is me.
