Out Walking Around: February 2012
http://outwalkingaround.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
If I had my life to live over again, I would ask that not a thing be changed, but that my eyes be opened wider. Jules Renard. Thursday, 23 February 2012. Leaving (2004) - Returning (2012). So many things were wrenched away. I nearly died right then-. The light, the sky, the warmth of home. Vanished in the night. A deep dark void remained within-. The only thing not taken. Darkness holding back my skin-. No heart, no lungs, no gut, no spleen. And as the blind learn to hear. And the deaf to touch the world.

My Aunt Allie was the first middle. She was ...

Out Walking Around: Wild Strawberries

If I had my life to live over again, I would ask that not a thing be changed, but that my eyes be opened wider. Jules Renard. Friday, 15 February 2013. Drops me into a walk. I took years ago in France. A woman collecting wild strawberries. Extends to me a just picked handful. My hand returns the reach. Receiving small bursts of sweetness. Though the guidebook warns. From eating low-growing fruit. Peed on by foxes. Their lush red juices wash my sweaty palm until. Erring on the side of safety).

If I had my life to live over again, I would ask that not a thing be changed, but that my eyes be opened wider. Jules Renard. Tuesday, 30 November 2010. Two silver disks for feet-. Two short steel poles for legs-. On this bitter winter day. He wore tan shorts. Steel legs can’t feel the cold. No coat or sweater. Nothing to take off,. In the black plastic tray. Totally open available for airport security. His only hand held. While his other half arm swung steadily,. His tilting rocking hips. A dad reading ...

If I had my life to live over again, I would ask that not a thing be changed, but that my eyes be opened wider. Jules Renard. Wednesday, 7 November 2012. A purple sock hung on a fence. Caught my eye walking by-. Further on a folded jacket. Lay carefully placed upon a step. Through the cold crisp autumn air. Hands unseen, unknown, unasked for. Stopped, picked up. And touched with care. These garments worn on other bodies. What makes one person stop and bend. To another person’s loss.

Out Walking Around: December 2012
http://outwalkingaround.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
If I had my life to live over again, I would ask that not a thing be changed, but that my eyes be opened wider. Jules Renard. Monday, 17 December 2012. The tree is small this year. The tree is small this year-. The bottom boughs too short to cover. The sturdy stand which used to hold much grander trees. I sit on the floor, stretch out my arm. And strain to put. My hand down into the stand to see if it needs refilling. I pour clear water down into the dark space. And for this simple act.
