Aubergine Dream

This enchanting aubergine (aka eggplant) man stands along the Beach in lovely Puerta Vallarta Mexico, which is surely a corner of heaven that fell from the sky. (Note, in French, the word for heaven is auberge, so it’s all wound up on itself.) Today I closed on the purchase of a small communications company –

Seed Dreaming

I leaned in and gave this seed pod a bit of a cuddle. This is what it told me – I swear! And – for those keeping track – I know NONE of you are, but I am – this is the 200th picture poem! One every day since September! I am proud of me…

Something that sings

New Year’s Dreaming, Year 2

It was last year around this time I opted to give up resolutions in favour of dreams. New Year’s Dreaming for 2009. The idea was instead of giving up something, do something I really wanted to do. Reviewing my list, I discover that out of my list of 100 dreams, I have done or am
