Meri's Musings

It's more easily said than done, but sometimes you've just got to  Bake some bread. Knit a scarf. Go to a movie you've been wanting to see. Have a cup of something wonderful with a friend. Make love. Get a massage. Browse your favorite store. Read a great book cover to cover. Give yourself a break. You deserve a break today.

Don't you just love those "verification" words, the key that opens the door for comment posts? The other day, I got a wonderful made-up word. INTIMID. I think that's what you are when you're wounded or inexperienced or worried about how you look, but you're easing your way toward intimacy with someone new ever so slowly.  .  . with eyes averted when the whole process gets a little too intense or the fear rises up like a bulimic episode. Gently sliding toward connection. So full of hope, but a bundle of nerves. Wanting to get close, but holding yourself back just a little. Intimid.

I'll give you a haiku-less post tomorrow but for today, another one. stone tears coalesce cling somehow to an eyelid sorrow   spilling out 

Forgive me. I'm perseverating. Stuck for now on haiku. Daylilies So ephemeral. Explode like vivid fireworks but gone the next day.

dear luna, you hang so close in the inky sky can I caress you?  (Sorry, the photo's a little grainy. I hadn't bought a tripod when I took this, so the ISO was set really high.)
