They didn't say anything about wrapping love and keeping it aside. Or if they did, she must have missed the memo. Because all she had ever known was to squander her affections on people who crossed her lives, and left souvenirs behind. She didn't collect them, of course, but they were there, reminders of what she had given away, and... Continue Reading →
Tall Wishes
At the end of that day as my inner chaos escaped me only to melt into the distance where green trees were now turning black, I thought of what I would say to him that wouldn't sound too demanding. In those moments, as I waited for the car to come around, I looked at the... Continue Reading →
Do you know how big the ocean is?
Foster father asked me this question a few months ago. He thought I was refusing to look beyond what I had, the people I knew, and the experiences I journeyed through. Especially because I was completely snug in my little shell of salmon-pink. Now that I look around and see how big the ocean really... Continue Reading →

There's a scene in the movie when Walter Mitty skates down a long road on a skateboard to get to an air field. I absolutely loved that scene and I smiled all through it. Some might say...

The Invitation by Oriah
Because somethings need to be preserved in a space where I can easily find them. It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to... Continue Reading →
Before it Flies Away
This picture demanded to be put up on my blog. It's something that lends to memory, and how, at the end of the journey memories are all we're going to have. I needed to document the stories that surround it. For however happy I may have been today, in spite of great turmoil it begs... Continue Reading →
