So this is what it feels like.

To actually feel

Completely alive.

Madly in love

With my best friend

But also

With myself.

I went dancing on Valentine's Day, in a diverse bar where men dress as women and women dress in (stupidly) sweaty PVC pants (yes it was me). I had a blast. And two glasses of red wine.

Today's haiku:

I am not staying

But you can come over here

When you are ready

Love everything about this! and yay for having one of your poems included in what sounds like a beautiful book! 💞 Here’s a little piece I wrote from one of your prompts:

Yesterday, at work, sitting in our

jump seats in the galley of an airplane

soaring 34,000 feet into the night

sky, my coworker and I opened each other

into our homes, and by homes I mean our

hearts. We spoke of the ways in which

we are learning to heal our bodies,

our minds, our sensitive, wild spirits. We spoke

of seeing angel numbers, of finding magic

in the every-ness. Connecting

through stories of signs sent from loved

ones. We, the travelers, of this liminal life.
