A love poem in four parts
Part 1
I could never understand why so many poets wrote about love like it was falling on a own sword
Until I fell in love with a blade
He had all the qualities you want in a man
Except the ability to stay faithful
I caught him 3 times before I finally left
Had to go to the ends of the earth to find what was left of me
Part 2
I met my husband on the other side of the world
It has been some years, but
By that time I had gotten a little too good at detecting metal
Yet he was not a weapon
The man who walked into tourist traps and paid them to set their elephants free
He was a wide open space
And I was an ocean of disappointment
But he had big enough container to keep me from drowning in my past
Part 3
It took a lot of therapy to finally say I do
I do believe in a thing called love
And yes I do deserve a happy home
I didn’t want the picket fence
I just wanted God not to hate me for the way I fell in love
Every Sunday he makes the best blueberry pancakes this side of the milky way
And it took a while but eventually my prayers stopped becoming apologies
I stopped smelling fire and brimstone when I looked in the mirror
The house just smells like blueberries now and the impossible odds it took for us to find each other
Part 4
We are no longer in hiding
My demons have called a ceasefire and there are no weapons anywhere in the house
I spend my days carving our initials into miniature hearts on sunbeams
Someone has got to tell us poets to lighten the fuck up
So send this to your lover
Tell them You have never been more skeptical of gravity than when your palms kiss
Tell them that if love is a fools errand then you have been sent by the king of fools
and tonight by Royal decree
Anything is possible
Let your heart beat as if it’s never been broken
Tell them there are moments such as this when mercury finally finds her place next to Venus
When the stars align themselves into a runway to cloud nine
And all you need is an open hand and open wings
-ask them if they can feel the wind
Can they smell the blueberries on the breeze—I know I can
Tell them to leave all the armor at home—they don’t need it where we are going—
Because tonight
We fly.

So when I got asked to audition for this film, I was building my first business with my husband and had no time or bandwidth and simply turned it down. A month or so later I was asked to audition again, this time in person and I felt a little pull that said I needed to pay attention this time. I still had no bandwidth or time but I decided I would at least look up where the audition was being held. The audition was two blocks from my house, message received.
@annehathaway described the film as a magic closet story, one where an everyday door suddenly becomes a portal to a life that is magic and yet somehow always made sense. The film is like that for viewers, and I can with gratitude say, it has been like that for me.
My first film ever just dropped into my lap, but like so many of the biggest blessings of my life, sometimes you don’t fight for them, they are just given as a gift.
#theideaofyou is coming so soon and I can’t wait to share it with all of you ❤️

Less than 100 years ago we nearly lost these whales and their songs forever. Today their comeback reminds us that our choices matter, that a 2 ton calf can have a chance at a full life, and that the music of the wild is always worth saving.

Earth Day Poems round 1
(I still don’t know if people understand how obsessed I am with this planet. Honestly I’m lucky I married someone who feels the same way. Here are some moments I’ve recorded and poems I’ve written about this Eden planet we call home.)

Though I am bruised
I have not given up trying to be softer than this world allows
Though I am scared
I have not given up trying to be gentler than this world allows
Though I am disappointed
I have not given up holding more hope than this world allows
No matter how dark things appear
we must be reckless with our hope
the way spring is reckless enough to bloom

Right now everything in Southern California is in bloom and I cannot help but be arrested by what I see. It is all so uncalculated the way that beauty is spilling over and all the soft petals feel reckless against the dry landscape. But it’s the kind of hope one needs to survive the times we are given.

Biophony: the symphony of all the living things in a wild space

When you’re gone,
I will still point out the clouds because I know you’ll be watching.
I will put half my groceries back on the shelf.
I will leave your side of the bed open in case you visit in dreams,
and if you do not, I promise to still make the bed the way you liked it.
I will remind myself that the past is unchanging—for better and worse. Meaning you and I will always have somewhere,
some pocket of space time,
where we are still dancing on a balcony near a beach in Akumal, our laughter
brighter than every star.

I have this habit of leaving the first page blank in every notebook I’ve owned.
Writing on that page feels strange, like announcing what the journey will be about before I’ve even taken it.
Life feels the same to me. It’s why I struggled when people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. It’s why social media feels like trying to flatten shrink myself till I fit on a screen like a plant exposed to too much sun.
I only know how to live my way forward, and rarely are the stories simple enough for me to come back and put a nice label on what they are:
~He was sweet but I was 20 and still growing, there were no villains just broken hearts.
~My choices were few and each had a consequence so I waited too long until life chose for me.
~He wasn’t expecting a relationship, I was hoping to meet the my forever, love had its own plans for us both.
So many times I didn’t know where I was headed until I got there. I don’t think flowers understand what we call purpose, only that something inside them must open and reach for the light.
In the end, we find our path by walking it.

There’s a creator on here who is known for her comedy sketches and I watched her get attacked by a few people in her comments the moment she said anything remotely political. Her response is what inspired this piece. “I don’t know how to keep tap dancing when the floor is on fire.”
As someone who was labeled early in life as an overly sensitive child, the cognitive dissonance is absolutely unbearable some days. To be shown horrors, ai cat videos, and corporately sponsored influencer posts all in a single scroll is a kind of whiplash my biology is not built for.
But creativity is not just a performative trick (although social media can make it feel that way). It is how we metabolize the times we are born into, and if you were also labeled an overly sensitive child, it is how we survive our lives.
