That weighty gaze…

July 16th, 2009

Today, this poem crossed my path for the first time. As I read it, I got that indescribably satisfying “Yes!” feeling one has when someone really truly gets what you’re thinking, or trying to say, or just simply gets you.

How fulfilling it is to now have the words to honorably describe that weighty gaze.

Ah, that weighty gaze.

Yessss. That’s it. That’s exactly it.

For Eros

When you love,
May you feel the joy
Of your heart coming
As your love’s gaze
Lands on your eyes,
Holding them,
Like the weight of a kiss,
Deepening

May slow sequences
Of kisses discover
Your secret echoes.

John O’Donohue

Long time no write

Sofie had pneumonia last week, and was in the hospital for 3 days. I had stomach flu.

I now have bronchitis.

I feel like crap.

Sofie’s greatly improved… a bit raspy, but otherwise playful.

We started watching Pirates of Penzance Sunday. She seemed especially smitten by Kevin Kline.

My sister, Elysia, is flying into town this Wednesday. Wants to nail down some details for her wedding here in May.

She’s repeatedly tried calling Bella Dolce to arrange for a cake, but no answer. Anyone know what that’s about?

Okay. Time for me to make some tea. Just wanted to pass forward this awesomeness that George shared.

I’ll be back soon to write. I have lots to say. :)

Enjoy!
