What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?
Adding a fuchsia flower, tucked behind my ear — symbolizing I’m at peace — would be more than a small improvement in my life.
If I be sixty
‘Twas the Flower in my hair
The Peace in my path

What book could you read over and over again?
Less of a mere book, and more of a sacred text, I do read The Bible over and over again — sherlock that I am.
It will be by fire
Becoming by burning, lo!
Refined…so, ready
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
These days, when I sense my own negative feelings rising up, I am thankful that I long ago began building a habit that has made me quicker to take agency of those feelings than I was in years past — I own them instead of deflecting them, so I can process and disburse them.
I’ve been the pilot
Of many a flight of thought
Bound for no-man’s land

What’s your favorite thing to cook?
As someone who looks around and finds more questions than answers, my favorite thing to cook is the status quo…the pot that I’m all-too-content to stir.
As if from Eden

What are your two favorite things to wear?
My two favorite things to wear are irreverence for worldly convention and hospitality (Johnny Cash singing, “I’ll Fly Away,” comes to mind)….
“We know that the whole creation has been groaning together…inwardly as we wait eagerly for…the redemption of our bodies.”
— Romans 8:22-23
“Hospitality: A Haiku”
Set aside, The Path
So graciously not shrouded,
Takes me thither, home
You’ll find God’s imprint
Not maybe, but certainly
Breathe…then ask…and see

See the bitter-burnt
Tether to hope, then take heart
Give, in return, love
Though we prayed ‘til dawn
Once the sun rose on my love
You grasped midnight’s hand

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
The best piece of advice I’ve ever received:
“There is no white knight.”
It is no surprise
Cinderella walks alone
What did she expect
