dreaming pink diamonds

Posted on July 18, 2008. Filed under: Love etc., colors, friend, love | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

I’ve never really been a girly girl. God knows I’m no tomboy (that would imply being sporty, which I am not) but ribbons, make-up, heels, shopping? eh.
Likewise for jewelry. It’s not that I don’t spoil myself or like the finer things but… spas and five-star hotels are more my weakness than flashy fashions [...]

Green (it’s not easy being)

Posted on July 9, 2008. Filed under: colors, poetry, washington, writing | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Green. Green is lush, rich, rolling meadow morning softness. Green is enviro -friendly, future-oriented, the color of money, the color of life, of springtime, gems – emerald , malachite, jade.

But green is deep, sneaky, possessive, emerald powerful jealousy.
Green is the dark hate I feel for girls who [...]

Clear (Walking meditation)

Posted on July 4, 2008. Filed under: That's how DC rolls, colors, health, love, meditation, mental health, writing, x365 | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , |

I tried meditation. A bunch of times.  It helped, if for nothing else that for sitting sans computer in the quiet and kindness. But I couldn’t relax, couldn’t focus on meditating, focused on the noise I was making, the meditation I wasn’t doing, racing, racing thoughts.
I went for a one-on-one with the leader of the [...]

Independence is the easy part

Posted on July 3, 2008. Filed under: Love etc., feminism, friend, mental health, poetry, writing | Tags: , , , |

In college, contemplating and confronting so many things at one – love, feminism, liberty, life — I began my wonderings about independence.
I wrote poetry in bluegreen notebooks:

“ Dependent, from Latin,
meaning: to hang from

So tonight I am wondering:
Do I hang from you? “

Hanging from was not a good thing, I concluded then. I [...]

Blue

Posted on July 2, 2008. Filed under: colors, family, friend, love, mental health, niece, poetry, writing | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

I haven’t been writing as much lately. Yes, I’ve been busy with work and work and work. Yes, I’ve been trying to learn about some other facets of the internet to grow my blog and make it better, perhaps even profitable.
But also, I’ve been blue. Deep, beautiful, aquamarine blue, in my core.

Home (the REAL home post)

Posted on June 28, 2008. Filed under: That's how DC rolls, arlington, home, love, writing | Tags: , , , , , , , , |

The real reason I’ve been thinking about home is that I might be leaving this one soon. This one, being downtown, “THE city” (sorry, nyc), my hipster dupont city girl pad, my newly-divorced-to-single woman pad.
And, to top it off, I might be moving to … Northern Virginia, land of my constant mockery lo these many [...]

Home III – Summer storms

Posted on June 22, 2008. Filed under: That's how DC rolls, home, love, writing | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

Against the aqua of my curtains comes yellow so bright, I think it must be car lights. It is 8:20 p.m.

I open the curtain to see that no, it is the summer sky before a storm.
Yellow beams hit my curtains, pebbled sandy driveway, clean white stone of the walls of my building. The rain is [...]

Home is…

Too cheesy to say “where the heart is” ?
Probably. But it’s true.

I’ve been thinking a lot about home lately. Not just because Nablopomo told me to think about it – it’s their theme for June, but ABOUT home. About where it is, how you know it, how you hold onto it, how [...]
