Come, Persephone: The world has rested too long Under Winter’’s snowy cloak. Come bring your brushes and bright colors And dress us in the shades of Spring again. We invoke you, gracious maiden of freedom and beauty: Join us now. Elizabeth Barrette It seems this invocation bears repeating. Listening to the radio on the way [...] First off, for some reason the permalinks are no longer work for post titles, this is very annoying. It makes me growl and threaten Word Press with the shaking of fist and muttering of imprecations. I am not sure why nor have I spent any serious time trying to figure it out. I’ve been busy. [...] By Mary Oliver Cold now. Close to the edge. Almost unbearable. Clouds bunch up and boil down from the north of the white bear. This tree-splitting morning I dream of his fat tracks, the lifesaving suet. I think of summer with its luminous fruit, blossoms rounding to berries, leaves, handfuls of grain.

( hmmm does this mean the earth has water weight gain?) I never thought about Mother Nature retaining water… So of course today is the [...] When you have so much to write about, you cant fucking figure out where to start? Not to mention not having the time. I swear it was the first of the year just yesterday, I realize working nights really does throw my time schedule off but I can’t believe its almost April. I feel spring [...] I have been looking for messages from Mother. Seeking her voice out in the most unlikely of places. She has been waiting for me, as she always does.
