Went to see a play at the players theatre

About the Israeli/Palestinian conflict..

about friends who live next door to eachother, about love, loss and forgiveness.


It's about breaking the circle of violence.

Thanks for the tickets Sam!

Should I let this die a natural death or should I keep it?

Who died last November. If Cheryl wouldn't have written that you died in your sleep I would have never known. If I would have known you'd have been so young I would have kept all your silly letters. I would have kept in better touch. I would have gone to Grand Rapids to dance at your wedding and hug your children. and told them about all the fun we 3 had. B and Min and Tex when we were all young.. Of course now it's too late. You died last November and I never knew. peace.

I went to march yesterday with Code Pink.. To let everyone know they had the right to vote.

Went to hear we're about 9 Friday.. They are a trio of young musicians out of baltimore they are funny and talanted.. ck them out.. and support small label music.

I really have been coming into my own talent. I do not seek acknowledgement anymore.

but I have opened my heart.

I decided I didnt need to post anything profound to contribute. I didnt need to be funny all the time. I could honour everyone no matter what. I could say goodbye to some friendships that werent meant to be. and hello to others. I read a book on a park bench I met Alice from Kentucky who sounds like Loretta Lynn I saw Herbs marker he has my last name, and lived here yet I only know he died in 1997.. I could drink tea instead of coffee and still be creative..

I am taking a risk by letting go of things for awhile
by letting people come to me.

I sat on a park bench reading Alice Walker
a lady came to sit beside me.. She had the most amazing voice almost like Loretta Lynn.
She told me she was from Kentucky and grew up on a horse farm with her 13 sisters and brothers.

I looked at all the brick markers and there was a marker for Herb who had the same last name as I.. I never knew him or anything about him. except he was born in 26 and died in 97.

I am sure it was a sign though to take a risk.

Why is it I have all these words stored up inside of me, but when I come here I am at a loss?

When I have a pen in my hand I can write and write.. but typing the words out is not the same..

I love the smell of ink and paper and lead maybe that's why. something personal and romantic about it.

Maybe that is why I have an obsession with letters and notes.

Reading.. Alice Walker Now is the time to open your heart..

Listening to Chuck Prophet..

I sometimes have a bagel at Panera Bread with a few older men.. George always shares store bought cookies ( chocolate chip) with everyone.. I finally got a cookie the other week.

You know your in when you get into George's cookie club.


I also have realised that people will sometimes find other people anoying. but, that's life

Just move on.

Jeanne was the scariest one.. you could put your hand on the wall and feel the house shake.
This is the first time the cats hid under the bed and couch.
and a friend had a tree in her house..
