Shama

you are so dear to me. i’ve felt a kinship with you from the moment i met you.
i love how expressive you are both in joy and sadness.
your gestures and words are testament to the wisdom you carry.

i so much respect and understand your need for solitude,
and your ability to ask for time alone.

if i could only pick one word to express what you bring to my world,
it would be compassion.

,

the grace of others (spiral, viral, meme)

(meme, picked up while roaming tribe)

& how else to withstand the enormity of such burden,
the burden of sight, but to believe
that there can only be the grace of others?

Danetta & Belen made me smile this week.
so here you go:
reply to this blog & i’ll tell you
why you make my world a better place to live.

  • seeing Todd tomorrow.
  • my friendship with Kelly.
  • my beautiful kitten.
