A Bouquet of Daisy
Where there was only darkness, you brought light – into the depths of my hollowed heart you journeyed without reservation, carrying the weight of my depression in the spring of your step – there, in that lonely place, you played in laughter you sat close with comfort you loved with abandon. So many years since…

Vindicated
Vindicated for all the harms the inconsistencies the pain the inequity the abuse the loneliness the confusion… Vindicated for all the human words and fists and intimidation and degradation… Vindicated, I finally was, as the velvety red and pink and deep rosy blanket of clouds that paved the sky with Saturday evening’s sunset showed me…

I’m Confused
Last night, I leaned in and listened to the Moon. She told me tomorrow is always only one sleep away. This morning, I asked the Sun what day it was. He told me today is always only when he appears. Had I not slept before the Sun spoke, I would not have been this confused.

Throughout that series, Andy pointed to Matthew…

A Note…
Dear DewdropsPlus Readers: I have decided to give myself a mini-vacation from writing my blog for the rest of this week, and perhaps into next week.

The Friend Blessing*
My best friend is not a lot like me. She’s the oldest in her family; I’m the baby in mine. She always wanted kids; I never even liked baby-sitting. She is a focused, career-oriented woman; I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up. She doesn’t like Shakespeare; I think he…
