Beneath the painted trees
lives another world
tilted a little to the left
Open your eyes
walk two steps forward
feel the movement
You might hear raindrops
or the lake calling
don’t get distracted
Lean all the way in
watch as looping circles
turn into golden threads
Pull one
Become a magnet
draw others near
trust you won’t fall
You’re a warmth weaver
create a fireside nest
fill it with moonlight
Burrow deep inside
touch the fabric
tell yourself not to forget
This is dedicated to the lovely women I’m spending the weekend with in Tahoe.

I’m on a writing retreat and thought about how connections are woven together when we share our stores. Vulnerability=Connection.

I like magical, enclosed worlds: esp the series of movements towards their centre,;
such worlds are always tilted; you do this well, esp the last stanza —
