Mohonk Mountain House
she hears your song
hold a candle-

kiss me
bottom lip long

owls serenade
quiet to sleep
walk in this dirt
cleanse her feet

morning sips on yesterday
swing free
swing free
swing free

because i am

writing

this pain

in 

me

"She Is- Silent Laughing"
(this always turns into a painting)


help me understand

my own art

my own thoughts

my own ideas

my own strengths

God knows 

i am sweet 

for every action

yes, the reaction
reacting
reacting

every love

NOT to hold you 

back

NOT to hold you

back

help me understand 
understanding
understanding

God knows 

i am sweet 
tomorrow

use me Loves

like laughing gas

laughing 

laughing

not to hold you

not to hold me 

back

back
back

 ideas continue
continuing
continuing 

in praise of Jesus

her art 
praising
praising

continue girl

tangled up in verbs

cutting up  t-shirts
cutting
cutting

scuplt a heart

let it last

ya know
lasting
lasting

most won't understand
your song
your poem
your art
your love

they won't

ya know-

i want to

tho
love
simple 
love

understand
understanding
understanding

it's the quiet

my own silence

but don't ask 

what that sounds like
because i am
silent laughing
silent laughing
silent laughing

365 Days 

I love NY

Day 5

my life is an expedition, spreading love...following rivers that run north.

 my life is an expedition, spreading love...following rivers that run north.

365 days I LOVE NY 

Day 4

"And I count myself more fortunate with each passing season to have recourse to these quiet, tree-strewn, untrimmed acres by the water. I would think it a sad commentary on the quality of American life if, with our pecuniary and natural abundance, we could not secure for our generation and those to come the existence of . . . a substantial remnant of a once great endowment of wild and scenic rivers" 
— (William Anderson, Congressman from Tennessee, Arguing for passage of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (1968))

Tonite I am officially all moved out of 
New Paltz, NY.

Though I hear, HERE-

the "river runs north" 

& if i throw this rock in my hand

 into this river

 one day I will be back....

LOVES!

To have some parts flowing free again . . . with deer grazing on its banks . . . ducks and geese raising their young in the backwaters . . . eddies and twists and turns for canoeists . . . and fishing opportunities such as Lewis and Clark enjoyed . . . would be the finest possible tribute to the men of the Expedition, and a priceless gift for our children. 

— (Stephen Ambrose, Undaunted Courage)
