I share my photographs, favorite quotes and moments from life here.

I love. (no matter how you spell it)

{everything touches everything} How sometimes everything closes up, a painted fan, landscapes and moments flowing together until the sense of distance— say, between Clapp’s Pond and me— vanishes, edges slide together like the feathers of a wing, everything touches everything. — Mary Oliver, from Clapp’s Pond
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? —Mary Oliver
May this new day and year bring in more love, awareness, opportunity and joy.

I N T E R P R E T A T I O N There’s what is and what we see. And we all see it a little differently. Different lenses. Different filters. Black and white. Color. Muted. Vibrant. What do you see?
G R A T I T U D E is a healer. May you all know it’s deep joy.
V O T E My grandma waited in line for 3 hours on Sunday to vote early. She is 94. She had to sit down twice but she still voted. If you’re busy or have a hectic work schedule, get an absentee ballot like this one. #vote #civicduty #bethechange #yourvoteisyourpower

My grandma is 95 years old today. She’s an immigrant. Born in Basra, Iraq. She speaks five languages fluently and has corrected my kids’ writing homework for years, with her impeccable English spelling. She makes the best Madras curry masala, from scratch. A few weeks ago she sat herself down on my wood floors to pin a dress she was going to hem for me. When she was finished, I put my hand out to help her up and she pushed it away gently and said, “I can do it.” Of course she did. She can do it. She’s still doing it. Always doing it, with love. Happy Birthday, beautiful Grandma. You are still a force to be reckoned with. Thank you for sharing your boundless spirit and energy and love with me. You are a blessing in my life. Every. Day. ❤️ ~ This is one of my favorite photos of us.
