A little positivity. (But for real, it all feels like a dumpster fire right now.)

I wrote this poem/song when I was in high school. I recorded it on my home computer in 1998. You can hear it on my YouTube channel - Coriander in the Spice Rack.

Finishing up the words from December.
When earthly bodies are finished,
may we all find mercy.
Forgiveness for ourselves.
Compassion for others.
Beautiful expressions of love
For moments that transcended.

My back aches,
Right on my shoulder blades
Where my wings were ripped off
On the fall to earth.
My heart yearns,
To be reunited with kin
Angelic essence of rainbow wings
To fly to new heights.
Still,
I magnify the importance of Love,
The need for connection
A higher power unknown yet to me.
Right on my shoulder blades

I finally felt worthy.
A new day had come.
Overshadowed by someone else’s need.
Stealing my sunshine.
Worthiness is a hard one.
You can be good, but not too good.
“Don’t color outside the lines.”
So I named myself rainbow.
Flamboyant, not austere.
I wear all black
To let my insides shine.

My little hands
The hands that look like my father’s
The ones that practiced Vivaldi & Bach
Hands that dug in the dirt to plant
Seeds that might grow the next season
My little hands
The hands that taught me to crochet
Making doll rugs by the treelight
The joy of velvet on my cheek
The hands that look like my father’s
The ones that practiced Vivaldi & Bach
Hands that dug in the dirt to plant
Seeds that might grow the next season

I am enough.
I accept as is,
But I don’t settle.
Relationships are reciprocal.
Wolfie (my inner Mozart-child)
Runs barefoot in the grass
Giggling and wild.
Improvising new tunes,
Looking for playmates to join his band.

Music has been my voice for a long time. My way of connecting to others. Performing, creating, rehearsing, watching, listening, recording… To me, music is the voice of my Higher Power. The way I can share my emotions with or without words.

It’s been a journey getting from one to the other. We are still learning from each other. Her impish glee, my big heart.

A literal embrace, like a hug, is a physical expression of holding your loved ones close.
To embrace who we are inside is divine.

These are my memories from Christmas Eve 2023. My mom and I went to 3 different services. Don’t wait to make new memories. Go look at lights. Visit with friends and make new friends. Do the traditions that light your hearts on fire. 🔥 Leave the rest.

This is a suncatcher of a stained glass window at Downtown United Presbyterian Church in Rochester, NY. Before my 15th birthday, our friend Robbie Brown died.
At his funeral, sunlight flooded through these angel windows and I knew Robbie was with us.
“Children, go where I send thee…”

This season is about many things. I stop to smell the proverbial roses, which for me is lights on houses & trees. This ginormous Santa was a marvel of modern technology to witness last year. I love the glow of the lights in the darkness of the winter sky.
What do you marvel at?

For the past few years, I’ve been working on living into my spirituality, weaving mind body & spirit together. I feel more integrated. As this Advent season brings us fresh perspectives, I am working on progress, not perfection. I just have to start.
