reindeers and garland

the worst place to explore the world is the couch.
parents are not easy to surprise.
less is more.

spilled chicken soup and Christmas require
a lot of furniture pushing-and-pulling
and stubbed toes.

rules are rules,
even for grown-ups.

matching words and actions
are still difficult
for adults and systems.

a child's hug is the ultimate symbol
of pure trust.

balloons are instruments of happiness.

rv's on fire
repel following cars with a thick cloud of smoke,
heavy and grey
like the dead atmosphere above a living factory.

if ever i am to have a heart attack,
it will happen on i-81
with red and blue lights dancing in my rearview mirror.

tulips evoke a simple and elegant whimsy,
like fairies.

life is not complete without a puppy to love.

sometimes a quiet evening at home is best.
with my feet propped up, of course.

even after twenty-one and a half years,
Creation still steals my breath away.

contrary to cultural assumptions,
i do not "die" when my phone hides or runs away
for a few hours.
i actually like it.

every moment is the opportunity
to empower both myself and others.

i am still a work in progress.
