I have traveled far from home.
Far distances external and internal I’ve roamed.
Rarely with a guide for how to go
Pained by often having traveled alone
I have travelled far from home
To make a home
For myself

We try to have K go outside at least once a day. We’re fortunate to live across the street from a park, and she’ll ride her scooter or bike with training wheels around it. I’ll ride one of her two scooters, or speed walk behind her desperately trying to catch up. So I’m actually getting a lot more exercise than I usually do. Because of this, I’m actually at my lowest weight since a few years before K was born. It’s been a while since that one summer when I put myself on a major exercise/diet regimen to lose copious weight I had gained from taking (needed) psychiatric meds.





44. Kaya turns 4 in May. Three 4s.
birthday wishes from near and far.

Wearing black at the beach
Spring has sprung.

They tried to bury us. They did not know we were seeds.
