On a journey within my life’s journey.

It is 9 years later. I’m awake in the dark with jet lag. After being lost on trains, after losing my glasses on the plane. But in this moment, I’m reminded again of long ago lost words on a train…waking inside again, this mysterious universe. ✨ Thank you so much, Cami and team.🥹💖 #amagicaljournal

Went on a walkabout downtown and found this poem painted on an old wall where soil catches grasses. ☺️ #poetry #canlit

Gorgeous, soft spoken poems by Jenny, two tidal laps on your heart’s shore. Do have a soothing listen to the audio. ✨

#levity thread for bookworms 😄 ⤵️

Friends, I have missed you! I’ve been recovering from Covid for almost all of August. Still struggling to clear my lungs, find my voice. But I can give you this…something beautiful from my corner of the world. ✨

My fellow Icelanders are still adding to this thread, so I recommend you read the comments. They are pretty hilarious.

Home sweet home, sweet key lime pie.

“I found the remains of a day from childhood, sky gone purple and soft where my father smoked a cherry cigar in his thick fingers, thought thoughts, distant as God.” So much wonder to find in this beautiful piece of prose. ✨

From ‘Lightning At Dinner’ (2005) —Jim Moore #poetry #poem #booksky

A moment of solidarity waving to all other caregivers of elderly parents…those giving nursing care, emotional support, cooking, cleaning, dressing, coaching meds, running errands, on shifts without breaks, sleeping away from home on their parents’ floors. Thank you, night crows, for seeing us.

Summer goes by quietly.💙

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. Rumi

✨ A new short poetry film has arrived ✨ Well, we finally made it to the last short poetry film of the series. Thank you to everyone who watched and cheered for these little origami characters as they navigated through their glacier lake adventures. Please enjoy! youtu.be/FYL_Ji4_Haw?...

Hello, little beauty. 🤎

Looking through a portal to the future, but all it will show me is the present moment.

Happy Canada Day, eh! 🇨🇦

Today I will smell roses and remember the mid-day of my son. 🌹💙

“The crusty dough, velvety potatoes with a hint of mustard was a revelation, and I began to know my aunt in a way I could have never at that dude ranch. I saw how she and I were tied together.” Woman Naps with a Book, a gorgeous ekphrastic essay layering family bonds from childhood to canvas. 💖

i will say this: to make a world where there is room for simple delight, pleasure & joy, remember you are doing so whenever you experience those states of being, whenever you talk about them, whenever you embrace those people, places, experiences & beings that you love.

“It took all summer to build trust…” This wonder by @karinhedet.bsky.social! 🐦‍⬛🖤

“Emily's grave is where Julie first got the idea to leave food out for the crows. See if they'd bring her an offering: a curly twig, or some shiny bauble.” Connections with nature are things to be treasured and this beauty by @karinhedet.bsky.social in @natflashfictionday.bsky.social shows me why.

This is so soothing…🩵🩵🩵

Morning dew on peonies. 💕 I keep inhaling their beautiful scent, over and over, before they vanish.

Love in a mist. 🌫️ #wildflowers

What a joy to be in a room of people who love stories and poems of all kinds! 📚 Being part of a reading in my hometown for the first time! Showing some love to the Victoria Writers’ Society. 🩵#yyj

Some peonies for you. 💕 #gardens #flowerreport

Good morning, world. ☕️

June blooms.

On a farm stay and it is just very, very good for the soul.

Very proud and happy to have a short piece of creative nonfiction in the newest issue of Riddle Fence! 🇨🇦 #CanLit #CNF #roadtripstories

The day we found Sea Bunny on the beach. Sieva, I miss you so much! I don’t know how to be in the world without you. ❤️‍🩹

I’ve been away on short journeys, reconnecting with family, old friends, and long ago colleagues. So many overdue reunions! But home now to the sea and new blooms in the garden. A sway in the hammock, looking up to the blue. 💙

70 seconds from Jenny to calm your spirit....music, softly spoken poetic words, natural spaces in Canada.✨ #poetry #shortfilms #canlit

Lunch from the Saturday farmer’s market, trying something new! A Ukrainian savoury cold pie with zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, caramelized onions, and herbs. #divine

Spent today polishing a new story, drafted months ago. Just a flash, the year and my heart nearly in half. Think I’ll send it out on submission for a small, buoyant feeling of hope. 💛
