A halo of light around all things.

When it snows all plans are off

and it's astonishing how happy this makes me. All my neighbors were out in the park

with their kids and their dogs and suddenly we were an impromptu tribe, and I was

almost drunk with a sense of possibility that is rare in my jam-packed grown-up life. 

Standing at the edge of something big

I hold onto these brilliant afternoons when I'm feeling shrouded and directionless. 

Somewhere this pulse continues and we're all standing close to the edge, 

ready to step out in joy.
