I just can’t help but wonder about the topographies of my heart, and yours.
The quiet stacking of strata in contour lines,
ridge tops wearing the froth of the fir trees,
those easily fading low lands with unnamed horizons and pockets of stagnant water.
I wonder if the contour lines of my heart of hearts cascade like the earth
I walk, whipped up by the wind and laid down by floods in
purposeful folds and furrows:
always bending and breaking.
Purposeful.
I want to believe I feel these things for a reason.
That my heart is carved out, built up, stretched and suspended for a purpose.
I want to look at the map and know it was all for Good.

Marrow Necklace.
This piece is all sterling and features an organic little hollow form “o” and one of my sterling bones. Once, RW said to me: Suck the marrow out of life and then have the dog’s part too.
I’ve carried those words with me over the years…now some metal carries them too.

The Going Ons:
One of my best friends breezed into town
at the perfect time:
She’s broken hearted and could use some of my magic.
I’ve been on the brink of my first summer melt-down due to a barrage of annoying life circumstances and I need some of her magic too.
Days are being spent on: French presses, dog walks, spinach salad, used book stores, Japanese restaurants, movies, evening drives up the mountains, sprinklers, popsicles, antique shops, laughter, tears and all that other stuff that meshes best friends together.
I’m so glad she’s here.
She is too.
I hope you’re all well!

PS Here she is. She’s so beautiful. You’ve never been in the presence of a soul so big and bright.
