Sorry is a question that begs forgiveness,
because the metronome of a good heart won’t settle

but it pushes things forward.
It bridges the gap.
Sorry is a sacrament.
It’s an offering. A gift.”

This was a moon you had to curtsy to.
A big, heavy, mysterious, beautiful, bossy moon.
The kind you want to serve things to on a silver platter.”

“I have dreamt in my life,
dreams that have stayed with me ever after,
and changed my ideas;
they have gone through and through me,
like wine through water,
and altered the color of my mind.”

{Getting lots of sweet canine hugs}
{Bonfire season is upon us…}
