Here's a #ThrowbackThursday #selfie for #HumansOfBluesky
Almost 15 years ago we were in NYC for the BlogHer conference. All smiles and ready to party the night away with my beloved @kaisermommy.bsky.social ❤️

if we exploded
into the sky, every night,
and then started again tomorrow -
who would you be today?

you held my hand
by the riverbank at sunset.
my hair, blown by a breeze,
warmed by the sun,
floated around us both;
i whispered a dream
of things to come
into your heart.
we both smiled as the sun
dipped below the horizon,
sealing the deal.

she burned across skies
hopping cloud to cloud to cloud
in lavender hues.

i bent over to ask them
the secret of happiness,
for, surely, they must know;
they smiled and replied
"we open ourselves up
to whatever will come,
and stick together
until the end."

when she learned
he did not dream,
she pulled threads
of light from the sky
down into the dark places,
breathed into them,
and, softly humming,
she carefully began
weaving the fantasies
that would dance
into his slumber.

I painted these Easter/Spring postcards yesterday. I think I’ll be spending much more time in my painting cave again.

for just a moment,
i touched the tender spot
inside me
where you live.

I’m so excited to see you! I’ve… changed… since the last time we saw one another. You don’t have to look so surprised - people change, right? Soon, you will, too.

Don’t worry, it won’t hurt… well, it won't hurt *me*....

and so, silently
i float to you -
as I always have
and always will -
on the wings
of a golden dream
that will disappear
when i awake.
