mjd - 2015 - be still/printemps

thawing is happening here,

revealing
tender things.

trusting green shoots
and 
open hearts

that will soon belie
their fragile appearance
with a blossoming

worthy only
of the strong. 


--------------------

mlle printemps made her first appearance yesterday, international women's day. it seems to have given her some forcefulness as she did not tiptoe. with crashing icicles and running rivers of thaw, she made clear that she had waited long enough.

today this little one poked his/her head out to see what kind of progress was being made.

the tender heart

mjd - 2013

in our (mistaken) attempt to guard the heart
against vulnerability 
and pain,


mjd - 2013

we can isolate it 
from tenderness
and connection.
