Posted on February 1, 2013 by

Poetry Friday: Opening

Posted on January 11, 2013 by

Yoga opens me. Physically, many of the yoga poses (Asana) require an opening of the lungs and heart. Goddess pose opens my entire body with arms up and out, legs wide, knees bent. In it, I feel exposed, vulnerable. In Shavasana, … Continue reading →

Lost in nonfiction…and loving it

Posted on January 9, 2013 by

Poetry Friday: Keep surfing, no poetry here folks..

Posted on July 27, 2012 by
