Breaking Out of Isolation
Lonely, by John Arsenault
There are lots of lonely people in the US. According to a study titled "Social Isolation in America: Changes in Core Discussion Networks Over Two Decades" that was published in 2006, one in four Americans have not a single person in their lives with whom they discuss "important matters." And,

For My Love…
This is the beginning
all possibility and nubile gestures
the soft, damp dawn
touched with dew and whispy, whispery fog
we live in a valley of green
hills of gold
crowning moist, damp earth
there will come a time
where we gather these days around us
an aged bounty of petals
strewn whimsically on a sturdy, well-worn floor
and, creaking with the walls
flesh earth-like and joints

Nahalin – Memories of a World Apart
Since 2007, memories of Palestine have been resting, sometimes silently, sometimes urgently, beneath the day-to-day breath of my life.
Having made a new friend who walked some of the same roads I did, the memories rise again to the surface, unanchored:
Sunset on the edge of the village of Nahalin, a family gathers on the

It's never the same river twice.
Winter Solstice brought 2010 to a powerful close with a solstice/full moon/eclipse, and 2011 began with another astrological event that was intense.
