I wish I could take language
And fold it like cool, moist rags
I would lay words on your forehead.
I would wrap words on your wrists.
“There, there,” my words would say —
Or something better.
I would ask them to murmur,
“Hush” and “Shh, shhh, it’s all right.”
I would ask them to hold you all night.
I wish i could take language
And daub and soothe and cool
Where fever blisters and burns,
Where fever turns yourself against you.
I wish I could take language
And heal the words that were the wounds
You have no names for.– Julia Cameron

Words
2 AprJust a small moment
14 FebWe got back from vacation yesterday. The baby is just waking up from a nap, I haven’t eaten breakfast yet, the house is in need of a good picking up, I have several projects in mind that I want to finish up or get started on, and some errands to run.
but…
A few minutes alone.
A deep breath.
A few dabs of essential oils (doTERRA’s Whisper).
And this song.
All momentarily made me feel like I was doing a slow rumba in a small exotic town.
