#GrandFire Frazier Park

Had a pretty nasty scare of a fire up here in my mountain community today. I took some pictures when it wasn’t so close to the main road.

Musings #3

Trying to write something a little more concrete in the form of rhythm and beats but nothing comes sit starring at my feat I’m left undone I’ve used that one before the understanding of something I’ve never understood before Makes me feel like I’m outside just peaking through the door Moonlit sonatas And bottles of [...]

Musing #1

The heat surrounds us Leaving Sticky Sweat Sweet There is no room on this bed not for you not for me It has been evaded by the kingdom The animals, they run this house Our biggest fear is that in our age We will repeat the same mistakes as our parents Over protection can lead [...]

Oregon 2012: So Familiar Yet So Distant

I just spent two weeks on a road trip with Thomas. We dropped Emma off at my parents and we headed up the 5 making a stop at friend’s places before arriving in our final destination: Oregon. I lived a large part of my life in the state & I have to say it was [...]

I had an amazing summer visiting Cancun, visiting various places around California, having a wonderful weekend in Vegas. I am living with someone other than friends or family, I am living with my [...]

Painting a Breakfast Nook and growing Vegies

I’ve never painted a room in my life.  I’ve finally had the chance.  Thomas and I decided to paint the breakfast nook, or more aptly I decided and he thought it was a great idea. Choosing the color was the hardest part but after about a week contemplation between the two of us we decided [...]

El Sereno

Life in El Sereno is serene. It is the nicest place I have ever lived while in California. I feel safe walking the streets at night, wearing a skirt and letting my own gender display not confine me to this societal culture of rape. I know that culture well, telling women that she “deserved” it [...]
