Surprised to find
How much I love
Running in the heat.

And we're off!
Today was A Day!

And feeling like I can do thing
Thankful for Christopher saying he was proud of me
Thankful for Meredith making it all feel possible
Thankful for Hal and Susan and Ebony for being so lovely
Let’s do this.

Bake Off Junior
The earnestness of the kids
The silly playfulness of the grown ups letting down their guard
The b-roll of things dropped and cracked and fudged and oops-ied
Utterly delightful

Wedding
Oh what a joy to be witness
At Ella and Kate’s wedding
Just lovely seeing people who love each other
Come together to share their lives
Meeting new friends
Eating delicious food
Savoring the hot weather
(My Aussie heart loves the heat)
I miss Aaron and Voltaire
But I am here.

Of finding a new counselor.

Take Flight
My friend inspired a meditation on flight
Imagine you’re told you can fly
And you’re given clearance on the runway
And all you have to do
Is take a breath
And take a few steps
And you’re off
Up and away
Whooooosh
But what if you’re so used to feeling tethered
What if you have been grounded for so long
You’d almost stopped thinking about flight
You’ve looked at the sky and thought
That isn’t for me anymore
That possibility was never mine
But now
The idea of uninhibited flight
Makes your heart catch in your throat
I can fly
You can fly
Off you go.

Usher Shift
A chance meeting
With a person
Who helped me feel I’m on the right path
And doing the thing

Summer storm
It was hot and humid
And in the middle of the day
The sky opened up
And nature turned on her own display for July fourth
With rolling booms of thunder
And flashes of lightning
And warm summer rain
Turning to steam as it hit the pavement.

Here Lies Love
What would Abuela and Abuelo think of their nieta
Watching a musical about Imelda Marcos
In New York
Not history for them, but lived events
Turned into a dance party
With flashing lights and a disco ball
And sparkling costumes
And a DJ narrating events
What was it like to watch the paradise they had grown up in
Fall to pieces
(Part of why they left)
What would they think of me leaving Sydney
What would they think of New York?
I wish I could ask them.

World's Away
I posted a picture from under the bridge in Astoria
The one that looks like the Sydney Harbour Bridge
And friends from Oz thought I was back home
And I felt the love
From across the oceans.
