• Smiling

  February 13, 2007

  June 15, 2006

  I started my morning about two hours earlier than usual. I stepped out onto the porch before I did anything, even before breakfast, which was unusual for me.

• Resurrection

  February 18, 2006

  A flood has robbed me of much of my writing and many of my memories, so I have come back to my journal to see which poems and musings still survive. I return here not so much because I believe that what I have to say is important, but because writing gives me roots. Looking…
