Then pick a stone. “You really don’t want that stone, do you?” “No, not really.” “Then which one is speaking to you?” I point, “That one. That’s the one actually calling or rather shouting to me […]
Alabaster Stones April 25, 2017. I open my long unused art journal, determined to create a daily mandala in my ongoing attempts to heal erythromelalgia A week later, my art journal and I had our first appointment with Jean Tait, an art therapist whose canvas, Guardian in Red, had caught my eye earlier that spring […]

The Cover Story A voice speaks in the night. For the first time in many months, I am jolted upright. The dream is a vivid swirling fractal of every possible green. “I am the Divine Feminine.” Within the fractal swirls are three sharpened pencils. It’s 3 a.m. I bolt out of bed and draw a […]
The Children Determined to save the only life you can. The Journey by Mary Oliver. You will find it on the internet. Something this way comes. It’s an old song. The song your mother sang when you were born. The song your dad played on his banjo while he rocked your cradle with his ever-tapping […]
Mental Health Awareness. October 7 to 12. Last week, I checked out some book reviews on Amazon. And, just in time for Mental Health Awareness Week, found a short and pointed review headlined “Writers {sic} attempt to make excuses for her own mental health.” The reviewer wrote only two sentences: I Did NOT like this […]
