dear friends and family,
I am sitting on the 2nd floor on Meadowview, Norah Jones is playing in the background, I am on the balcony overlooking the backyard. a wind is blowing and it smells like rain and thunderstorm. the sky is white and the trees are dancing in the breeze. I am happy. I walked Auma, the husky this morning and while we were exploring the park near by I suddenly couldn't help but smile! I just love the time before the rain starts to fall. the air smells sooo good and feels so soft. almost like it is touching me gently, kissing and embracing my body. mhm, feels good.
i am off today. that feels good too.:) I was looking at a room yesterday. Sue, the woman who will be renting it out to me made a really cool suggestion. I could come over and stay for a while and see how it feels. So I will be moving in on Thursday for a couple days/week. She has Parkinson and attends a special treatment. She doesn't take any medication but rather follows a chinese medicine treatment plan. I like her. The street she is living on is pretty cool and there are lots of interesting people. We'll see.
On Saturday I attended another poetry slam event and this time I performed one of the pieces I write myself. That was amazing. I missed being on stage. I missed performing. It felt so good. And once I was done and back in my seat I just wanted to go back up and do another one.:) It is very interesting to listen to all these different people and their views and opinion. Some of the people who perform really have a good feel for language and they can play with it really well. I love how language can be so beautiful. I almost wish sometimes I could drink the words cause they sound so sweet and wonderful.:)
Anyway, I am sending you all my blessings.
Today for my little sister who is flying to Vietnam in 4 days!!!
And for stream and tania for just being awesome!!!
Love you lots,
Jewels

Jewels, your post made me smile - happiness is contagious. I can see you walking a dog in the park with a big smile on your face. Is today the day that you have moved into your rented room? I hope it is comfortable and that you will be warm and safe there.
If not, get out quickly and don't drag it out...We would really like to read some of the things you have written & performed when you are ready. Sounds like you found an outlet for your creativity, and surely that is a good place to meet kindred spirits.
Tania and I talked about that maybe you would like to come south to DC around Christmas. We would love to have you here for a bit, and could maybe help with bus fare. Let us know if that sounds interesting to you; autumn is a month away and winter probably arrives quite early where you are.
much love S~ & Tania
dear stream, thank you so much for your wonderful comment. I am still at the place I was trying out but will move this weekend I think. It is not the right place for me. I son't feel grounded there and I think that is essential.
I would love to come down for Christmas!! that would be lovely. I will see how that works out woth my job. I am leaving for Minnesota in mid sept to attend my friends weddings so that is part of my vacation time. no idea how much time I get. I will keep yu posted anyway though.
love you lots and i will send you one of my poems in the next little while.
