realizing she had the protection of the beetle, she breathed a sigh of relief, waved and walked on.

as she was walking away she heard the beetle whisper,"child, you are just an egg. you have many more miles, lifetimes of transformations to go. here, have a little beetle power to help you along." she accepted gratefully and kept moving. such is the way of the beetle.

i once met a magpie

in love with the road, the wind, stones, white washed bones and the yaw of deep desert ravens.

purple chocolate lilies

summer ending/autumn beginning

a change of name. a change of heart? seeds of change. a change of clothes for the new emperor. a change in time saves nine. oh wait....

slowly, but surely

change is good.

it really was love at first sight

flat out,

sometimes it's the only way to see things.

from the greek khamaimelon

khamai, on the ground + melon, apple

Anthemis nobilis treneague

the ubiquitous dandelion

nourishing one's self
