back to the bardo

~ thwarting Angus’ attempt to lick my eyeball
~ got some fish oil into Emma’s stomach and not just on her nose
~ bananas begging to be banana bread
~ my funky mermaid wall clock
~ the earthen loam scent of tea tree oil hand soap

~ remembering to breathe deeply when it feels like there’s no air
~ Janis Joplin
~ black marble bowls
~ warm arms around me
~ huge bath towels

~ technology that allows friendships around the world
~ carnelians
~ tender coconut macaroons
~ napping in a puppy pile
~ a challenge to write
