I walked to the hospital at midnight yesterday to spend the night waiting in various rooms with my brother who got appendicitis. For 10 hours I sat under fluorescent lights and drew doodles and tried to make him laugh without hurting too much(mostly successful.)

Now his face is greenish and pale, but he is asleep & the appendectomy went well.

Facts of May

Thu, 16 May 2013 00:03:00 -0400

School is over & I’m letting it be over.
Gardening/building things/teaching children/stitching/painting/cooking eggs.
Learning to know my guitar better & singing more in front of people. It is good to let that be part of my permanent personship, an easy fact. Creative production shouldn’t ever be embarrassing.
Cryin’ & huggin’ & not givin’ in to vulnerability unless I can control it/know where it’s going/can still have the means to comfort & cradle myself.
Going to Chicago by myself this weekend to look at plants, visit my brother, and pass impatient time until my loves come home to me.
Paying close attention to the difference between feeling grounded & feeling buried.
“You can’t always just be a plant,” said JD. (His reminders of my humanity - for good & for bad - kick me where I should be kicked.)

My sleepy face this mornin’, weeding & preparing vegetable beds in my grandma’s garden.

Spending a big part of my waking daylight hours this summer growing things in different places & on different scales. At last! It’s a relief.

I had almost exactly this conversation with my bud Louise today except both of us were of the live-in-peace-plant-potatoes-and-dream variety.
