Poet. Writer. Photographer.
For a moment, I get lost, and in that moment, I fall still, sunset upon golden wildflowers blur the division between worlds. My dreams and reality merge, forming a portal, yet in this moment, I feel the empowerment of control, not the control I foolishly chase in denial, never able to keep everything in its … Continue reading Between Worlds
Sometimes, I think of those few I offered my heart to, but I try not to, for the sting threatens to unstitch me; no matter how much sugar I pour in the wounds, the truth of the matter is none of them wanted me. Perhaps these romantic dreams I weave keep me suspended above the … Continue reading Suspended
https://youtu.be/QoEpipVAZUc This song came up on my playlist as I was beginning my yard work after my first day back to my classroom when this small wildflower caught my eye. When you are a poet-photographer-believer-passionate teacher, such a thing can become life changing, lol. I was so moved by the way the sinking sun was highlighting … Continue reading Colliding Light

No two secrets alike, but the sea harbors so many similar dreams, secret pleas whispered, its waves filled with such murmurs... Some search for shells, some for treasures, some look for those bottles with rolled up letter-answers, some … Continue reading Ocean Timeless

Many specific, powerful moments have I captured at the beach, with and without a lens, that live in me so vividly, there to be called upon on a whim whenever I need them. Two of these are my images “Pigeon on the Pier” and “Sunflowers in the Sand,” their lessons, how they resonated with me, … Continue reading Sea Feathers and Leaves
