"i would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding."

equinox
"under the harvest moon, when the soft silver drips shimmering over the garden nights, death, the gray mocker, comes and whispers to you as a beautiful friend who remembers."
2007-2008: ...and so, for her thirtieth year, she is embarking upon a pilgrimage abroad...teaching english at a university in south korea, making her way to ancient buddhist temples nestled high in the mountains where monks and nuns rise early to chant and pray, relying on the kindness of strangers and a lightness of heart, and meeting challenges and fears along the way that she is ever-so-ready to befriend.
2008-2009: ...and now, for a second year, she is returning to korea....to her high rise sanctuary and an abundance of red pepper paste...to a vibrant, growing community of friends, students and colleagues...to not a day going by without some measure of surprise and unexpected kindness.
herein lies her journey...

Jessa- absolutely beautiful post - the combination of the artwork with the poem - exquisite. This poem gives me chills - I dig it.
Fall is in the air here in Oakland - I love Fall. Delicious air and sky and web and cloud and tree and honey bee and kisses all over from the breeze.
peace,
Lisa
