Next day…..
caped
comb lifts
scissors snip
we cut trough
small talk
directly to the heart
what’s inside
comes out
both
encouraged
as conversant
listens
and
responds
I love getting my hair cut.
Not only is it a gift to have somebody pay attention to my thick, unruly tresses
my stylist
my friend
my fellow mother
is willing to dive below surface events
into the undercurrents
While she shapes and thins we cover a lot of ground
like…
Creative Design
daycare centers located near retirement homes where wisdom and exuberance mingle
neighborhoods constructed to encourage connection and community
llamas visiting protests
What About?
masks and babies
(remember still face)
what about babies whose parents don’t engage even without mask rules?
is there a creative solution?
Isn’t It Interesting?
Covid quarantine made us aware of how much meaningless stuff we buy, and how
people hold so tightly to beliefs that they’ll sacrifice relationships
she goes home to two boys under the age of five
my boy is about to enter his third decade
we’re both interested in creative solutions
because……
I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, and naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain. ~John Adams

I saw a sign!
Gail, I’d like to offer an observation on both today’s and other recent letters. I sense you have found just what you want to say and how you want to say it! With both unwavering conviction and commitment. Not at all dogmatic but with the inner strength to speak from your heart. “When you know your heart of hearts, one must not start with disclaimers.” GS
