Birdsong


Through crystal clear stillness
Nothing matters 
but breath and light
Limbs slice through atoms of hydrogen and oxygen
Weightless, impression-less
I am at home here. 
Alone here
I remain 
In my oasis of flight

Pull Out Your Hankies

Clearly one of my favorites ever.

Many thanks to Jules for sending it in.
 
Sniffle sniffle...

All You Need




There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy

Nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy

Nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

 All you need is love
 All you need is love
All you need is love, love
 Love is all you need

But What Will I Wear?



As buds start popping on trees and we stroll in honey coated sunlight, it's finally time to shed sweaters and thick wool socks here in the Boston area.

Amen.

At last there is a bit of humidity in our hair, and our skin is no longer dry and weather beaten. We're all looking a bit rosier and yummier I must say.

But then begins the age-old, Grinchy question of "But what would I wear?"

Each season I look in my closet to see if there is something that I can resurrect from 20-30 years ago that is currently trendy. To feel just a mite bit hipper.

Please. Anything.

However, I am not always successful...


What follows are the Spring/Summer fashion trends for 2015:

Shirt dresses
Culottes
Funky Boho prints
Gingham patterns
Omg no way
Sheer fabrics that make you feel like you aren't wearing anything
Midi skirt lengths from the 60s
Fresh florals- big, bold and feminine
Roomy, cropped, baggy denim jeans
Military greens
Sounds like the wrong season
Kimono style jackets and coats
Mesh fabrics
Jumpsuits
Can't imagine myself in a jumpsuit
White lace
Ballerina
Hmmm
Nautical
They always say this
Mixing/stitching contrasting fabrics together
Flats, slides and sneakers
My poor back
Polo shirts
Too preppy
Khaki
Blue & white color combinations (as well as timeless black & white)
White on white
Imagine
Red
Yellow
Apparently there is a shade of yellow for everyone.


Happy dressing :-)
And Happy Mother's Day to all you hard-working mamacitas out there.
Let's put our feet up.
