78 days of gratitude on the wall...
what a piece of work is man
how noble in reason
how infinite in faculty
in form and moving
how express and admirable
in action how like an angel
in apprehension how like a god
the beauty of the world
the paragon of animals...
this is where
hamlet and i
part ways
there are times when
the human spirit touches me
in so deep a place
that although i know i shall
return to dust
i cannot believe us to be
the quintessence of dust
and 'man'
delights me so
have you seen
this?
if you haven't
go
now
bear witness to
le coup
phillipe petit
weaves a spider's web
between those towers
and
walks on a cloud
afterward he said
when i see three oranges i juggle
when I see two towers i walk
and when i saw
phillipe walk
i sewed
petite philippe
and in honor of
the woman who walked
by his side
petite annie
may we all
wake to our dream
and
walk on a cloud
how noble in reason
how infinite in faculty
in form and moving
how express and admirable
in action how like an angel
in apprehension how like a god
the beauty of the world
the paragon of animals...

80 days of gratitude on the wall...
words fail
so often they
simply
fail
although today
these words
roll
through my mind
from the pages
of one of my
favorite books
and suddenly something shifted and suddenly something stirred
these words bounce
in my mind since
saturday
yes
words fail
almost
and pictures
don't do justice
but...

81 days of gratitude on the wall...
it has been too long
have i been missed?
well
i have missed
you
in addition to a new
school year
twins in separate classes
(yeah!)
and in spite of
a lawyer who is
not concerned
about child support for
my kids
and a BOYfriend who considers
said kids to be a
pre-existing condition
his words were
previous financial responsibility
(not so yeah!)
there is a battalion
of fairy boats
have i been missed?

aviators
indians
pirates
indians
pirates
wild knights
elf kicks
mermen
and
four
more
days
sigh
until my
very first craft fair
this saturday
in bed stuy
brooklyn
life continues with the
barrage
of lemons
but
no lemonade as
mother hubbard's cupboard
is barren
of sugar
and yet
this vessel
creates
counts blessings
between the tears
dances
between the raindrops
and prepares
i cannot
express
the gratitude
please pray for a
sunny
profitable
glorious
day
and stop on over
if you can
four
more
days

82 days of gratitude on the wall...
this morning
i expected to sign in
and find
post after post...
no
i lie
i expected to find at least
one post about
van jones
but, nothing
perhaps i'm not turning over
the right stones
shaking
yes, ms moon
i'm afraid
too
but what i find chilling
is that a man whom
i believe to be
strong, good, progressive
human
was chased out from the
White House
by a pack of torch wielding
consumers
and the
present administration
said little more than
fare thee well
if even
that
the numbers of soldiers
swell
in afganistan
unmanned
u.s. drones assasinate
men
women
children
in pakistan
we don't even have the
respect
to dirty our hands
taking their lives
tell me again...
who is the president?
i woke up
heard 30 seconds of
morning news
and
i don't know
i thought i would find
revolution
coming through the wires
instead
i found this
and smiled
broad
true
and deep
not only are you
listening
but you actually would have
others listen, too
gratitude for laura
my neighbor
my friend
