transition

IMG_3458On February 5, 2020, Quenby designed this birthday feast at home

and then on Valentine”s Day, Jeanne transitioned back to a hospital gown as AMC’s ER again brought her back from respiratory arrest

The look means she transitioned from self care to trust as Quenby and her Mom switched from self care to trust and compliance. AMC met my every need. I was able to share with my 3 different room mates in a cardio-thoractic unit from heaven. The more mobile I got, the more independence I won. That led to 3 showers taken by myself and an acquaintance with everyone in the hallways, day and night. They loved all my styling: hot colors of robes, slippers, tiny Museum of Modern Art Light, and Lavender no crack lanolin cream. That stuff made my IV’s fall out by themselves.

Now I have a drain in place to heal the pleural efusion (Pleur-X), and my mobile talents are sustaining  me at home once again.

recognize the ginger and birds of paradise?

the pomegranates and blood oranges?

the treasures from Russo’s in Waltham?

Children Without TV #11 Perspective

the gentle gaze is shared

Up the page hides the background Up the page hides the background
Down the page comes the foreground Down the page comes the foreground

gentle creatures watch…
their thirst, their guts call near-far
share air, earth, fire, gaze.

Oliver is three years old- Feb.9, 2014 Oliver is three years old-
Feb.9, 2014

Fam’ly assembled:
Eight strong! Owner of diner
takes charge: center stage.

Oliver sidles
close; tells of measuring tape
that springs in and out.

I showed him zippers.
His sister stole the show so
He makes fingers arrows

rotating round; they
cycled, speeding, straight to my
heart! love finding home!

Oliver is nine on Feb 9, 2020

 

He gets nine dollars twice: $18.

Not enough for his new bike pedals,

but enough for multiplication and addition practice

learning to budget time and dollars

learning to budget patience too

daily at the mill of generosity

in the village where children thrive!

Candle

It’s Birthday month: I’m 74!
The short wicked candle burns.

Between Nor’ Easters,wind and snow
My family comes, adjourns.

The elders bring their rattled bones
And ticklish touching smiles

They know a moment’s all we’ve got
Embrace and touch awhile.

AGE

AGE
gives me an ace a day.

At night,
the curtain closes.

At day…opens:
drama unfolds.

Wisdom
is born.

Humility
bites me.

Simplicity
is my costume.

Color
my set.

Bravo!
to the AGE display!

Always,
uncut……never late.
