can you literally do nothing with the other person?
can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?”

at the library
tucked into the honeycombs
reading and chatting
grandie r
sees a little girl
who wanders over
and she says to her,
“i’m four and i have some friends from school
but i just need one more and it should be you.”
she answers,
“okay, i’m four too and i’m mira,”
then she climbs on in
and that is how they became new friends.

flew across the world
to visit the beautiful country of ireland
and
on my journey
i went to
kinsale, county cork
where i met
one of my fellow bloggers
a wonderful woman
tric
of
who writes
with honesty
and
a wicked irish sense of humor
about
life’s ups and downs
and
how to get through it all
and
it was quickly clear
from the moment we met
that
we are long-lost irish sisters.

it was
a lovely evening spent
in a warm and friendly house
filled with friends and family and neighbors
of all ages
and
performances
of all kinds
with voices and instruments
and improvs
and storytelling
and fiddling
and
it was important for us,
the americans,
to proudly represent our country
with our own
unique
belly dance act.
it was truly
a night to remember.
