before human chin
comes monkey climb with arms, hands
flips, somersault love!
Today is the Spring Equinox:
The word equinox comes from Latin: aequus means equal, level, or calm; nox means night, or darkness.

“I want to live other lives. I’ve never quite believed that one chance is all I get. Writing is my way of making other chances.” —Anne Tyler
Van Gogh said, “It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.”
John Updike said: “At the point where you get your writerly vocation you diminish your receptivity to experience. Being able to write becomes a kind of shield, a way of hiding, a way of too instantly transforming pain into honey.”
