Broadcasting the Divine Feminine in Sarasota

I was four years old, standing onstage with my dance mates at the Fort Hood Family Recreation Center, wearing a white frilly top with red satin inlay and matching red velour skirt. White opaque tights and shiny patent leather Mary Janes completed my outfit. My hair, curls freshly unfurled from pink sponge curlers, served as … Continue reading Broadcasting the Divine Feminine in Sarasota

The Monday After

I took the flower bouquets I received Friday night and consolidated them into one mongo bouquet on the kitchen island. The vase it rests in is the same one from the exhibit, a gift from lady Brigid, the Bringer of Light. I wanted to depict onstage a woman's womb and its power to birth beauty, … Continue reading The Monday After

Empowered By The Goddesses

Performed beautifully by goddesses of their own caliber, embodying influential archetypes much needed in this post-election week. We gathered to share, we're not scared. When … Continue reading Empowered By The Goddesses

Olympic Inspiration

As the Parade of Nations at the Olympics passed onscreen, I couldn't take my eyes off of a certain African athlete dancing along with the stadium samba music. Djibouti's small yet excited delegation entered in matching clothing, but the dancer added beautiful jewelry across her face! Found what it was, a version of this ceremonial headdress. INSPIRATION. … Continue reading Olympic Inspiration

Coming Down The Mountain

Gilded tendrils through wooden slats summon a new Appalachian day. I tumble, tumble giddy under feathery darkness my morning dreams launch me into flight... So begins one of the poems I created in that beautiful cabin nestled under ancient wood. The experience of connecting with nature at a primordial level is a powerful thing. My … Continue reading Coming Down The Mountain

For You, Lady Graduate (a poem)

Niece #2 graduated yesterday, with much relief and gratitude. She's my namesake and shares my spirit. For her graduation package, I added an impromptu poem. It literally roused me from deep sleep days before mailing her gifts, the words, "Go on little princess, put on your crown..." Attached is the modified version. The original you'll … Continue reading For You, Lady Graduate (a poem)
