I’m not sure when it happened
When I stopped wishing away the days
“I wish it weren’t Monday…”
“I wish it were Friday…”
One day I found myself wishing for something different
“I wish I could hear her voice again..”
“I wish we could laugh together one more time.”
So now i need to learn to live with the days
As they are
And embrace them
Maybe even ration them
Whatever they be called
Because they are so rich
To live them fully
They are most surely limited
Tonight there were fireflies
And breezes
And puppies chasing leaves
And another day
I am blessed to hear
The breathing of my man beside me
Let’s not wish away these gifts
No matter how sharp or biting they may be.
Let’s live them fully.

My brother in law colored this for me when he was undergoing cancer treatment. He thought it looked like our Jordan. Ill keep it always. Carl was a very talented man.

Remember when I told you I dream in color? Technicolor to be exact, at least on some nights. One of the most frustrating things about my amazing dreams is that I have absolutely ZERO ability to draw or paint and I often wish I could do so to depict some of the visual details. Mom used to tell me that I could “paint” with words and so I do but I still struggle to make a “picture” of some of the things I see when traveling at night.

Two nights ago I had a dream that ive had before. I was in a foreign land, in an outdoor market, filled with colorful stalls and people everywhere. Vendors were selling all manner of wares including grilled fish and meats, wines and other goods.


But Friday night, I dreamed I was walking through the crowds and the market was full of every kind of strange being you could imagine. (Think of the Star Wars scene in the bar with all the aliens… )

Anyway, I was just taking it all in when I saw a woman, just the back of her, moving past me. There was something about the way she carried herself and I took off after her to get a better look. From the back I could see that she had the most vibrant purple hair Id ever seen and a massive, fantastical crown that seemed to be made out of living, sparkling, gold coral with tiny gems in it. I touched her on the shoulder and just as she turned and faced me, I woke up.

Here is my attempt to paint her.
