The first day

Tonight my heart is rolling down a hill beaming with the joy of smelling freshly cut grass and sunshine.


I love the mostest man in the world. I am researching things that make my heart say yes. About domestic violence shelters, gardening projects and hope, about nature enfolding our cities while sneaking her children into our hearts. I have the opportunity to work with a woman who shines like a star.

I have grown to know women who make my heart sing with joy every time I follow their links - strands of silk leading into their lives. Three wolves have adopted me and allows me to take them for runs, scratch their tummies and feed them bones.


Today I have made a decision that will change my life forever. My future is a dandelion dancer. Twirly and shiny she follows the breeze while dancing with the sun.

Tomorrow I will start tiptoeing into my heart. To find words to honor two women who offered me the gift of reflection.

De-lurking, here. Hel, I've visited your site long before I ever started one of my own and I've always kept coming back. I think your wolf pictures drew me in first, then your words (I have a wolf of my own). Anywho, I wanted to say Congratulations on taking what ever step it was today that will make tomorrow. You deserve it.

Hel, I am cheering for you though I don't know what that decision is. I am just so happy that you have found that sunshine. I'm actually shaking.

Only my heart will go to SA with my parents when they go. But I will find another time to visit you. I promise you that.

Your words, and that picture of your wolf, brought the biggest smile to my lips and the warmest feeling to my soul chakra. You are amazing.

As always, your words and pictures inspire.

I miss my wolf and love seeing yours, imagining how their fur feels, their wonderful solidity, their sweet noses under my lips.

Important decisions must be honored and celebrated. Rolling down a newly mowed grassy hill is the best way I know.

Darling Hel,
How beautiful to work with a woman who shines like a star! And to be with a man who is mostest (I can only imagine how special he is - he must be to make someone like you so happy.) I await to hear news of your decision.

PS I think your peacock stone comment is my favorite comment of all time. I took that stone in my hand often while I was in cell # 007007. It felt solid and comforting. Thank you.
