I am from where I am right now…my experiences and my love, my frustrations and successes.
I am from musical almond orchards, from Rendezvous ribs and Penguin Publications.
I am from organic, green, concrete.I am from the iris, the rose, the marigolds the petals, the passion, and the gold.
I am from reading books and warm smiles, from Katherin Smith, Jim Mankin and a Princess Lily Monster.
I am from the misunderstandings and the progress of working through.I am from “no you can’t” and “you can do anything” all at the same time.
I am from a pagan’s perspective, from my father in heaven and my mother on earth.I am from Oregon, the San Juaquin valley, the dirty south and Assyria, dolma, Memphis BBQ and warm tortillas.
From the crossword puzzles filled in with curse words, the twin horses born in the barn, the soft fur of the bunnies and my father’s love for words.
I am from the family journal, the dusty shelves, the trunk I keep my life in.I am from exactly where I am supposed to be.
