  • A Fierce Longing


     



      I miss my dog.


    ****************


    It has been 20 months since she lost her battle with a rare cancer.


    She died under the desert sky with the wind calling for her.


    I held her in my arms then, and cried.



    I missed her before she even left us


    and have been longing for her ever since.



    She steadied my gait and calmed my spirit.


    I am lost without her.


    “everything reminds me of my dog
    beautiful things
    sunsets remind me of my dog
    Gina go to your window
    Einstein reminds me of me dog
    I want to pat (her) fluffy head
    this whole world reminds me of my dog
    my dog reminds me of this whole world”


    ~ Jane Siberry

  • Deep In these Woods


    (my afternoon in pictures)









    We are so blessed by our land


    and the gifts of this earth.
