Good morning you Your sweet tiny tweet Pulled me from my office To the front room window To find you Common little tree swallow Uncommon and precious to me I see you I do

I feel a lot better Since I (mostly) Left you behind More Settled Focused Present Content Somehow I feel a lot better Since I left you behind I’ve left off (mostly) Thinking about being Famous (haha) Popular Cool Influential Somehow (For now) Maybe you’ll draw me in again Like you have before (Who knows) Help me (someone) cut those subtle Nefarious ties For good because Thinking about you makes me Stressed Nervous Insecure Hurt Sad I feel a lot better Since I left you behind More Peaceful Less less More more Somehow I feel a lot better Since I left you behind It’s been a good Goodbye Bye
Man in the Moon
Oh Full Moon (Man in the Moon) I used to believe You were watching Me Looking down with love (or at least benevolence and compassion) Looking down On my simple little life Seeing me (And smiling) I used to believe (Who am I kidding) Still do It’s true Shine on Shine on Me

Where I’ve been
Heyho. I hope you’ve been well. I’ve been preoccupied with some editing projects — one personal – a book of prose I’m working on and two for others and also this (I had an opportunity to preach and that was super fun — minute 43 if you want just the message). Getting back at it now. Musing about where to take my work and re-designing my blog page (I need courage for that kind of work– how ’bout you!).
Peace and grace to you on your way today.
Warmly, Colleen
Spring Symphony
Geese cry Blackbirds sing Children scream unfettered free Crows caw Magpies chat Wind whips dry winter grass Frogs croak I laugh Perfect Spring Perfect Dance
Dry Wells
The drought of Love Grace Kindness Faithfulness Can come as no surprise How could it be otherwise (not drinking from the Source an all) Dry wells Dry wells Dry wells Hold no water Quench no thirst
March March
Come on Spring
March on in
We’re waiting
We’re waiting
For you
