25 Things About Me - A Meme

Some things you likely already know

such as that I am compelled to make lists

and messes,

married my soul mate

and am a dyed in the wool optimist.

What else? I believe art improves

the quality of life,

that procrastination and self righteousness 

are my two worst qualities,

and that I’m a bad swimmer, but it doesn’t matter.

What matters: New York City is beautiful ,

eating sushi feels good,

the best things are poetry.

At heart, I’m a detective

wanting to know how this can be,

searching redemption tales 

for questions,

believing the writings of soldiers and survivors

shine a light on god.

In the mornings I like to wake early

be busy for a few hours

then back to sleep.

I recharge my batteries and

recycle my light bulbs.

Each season is perfect

but sometimes I’m not ready 

when it arrives

or leaves.

Come back, Fall!

The ocean overwhelms me

I can’t bear to look at it

except through camera lens.

I have five “favorite” colors

and am a lousy director.

Trying to like other ice creams 

more than vanilla, but

it’s hard.

Like to read out loud

in public,

never know what to do with my hair

and it shows.

Getting braces was one of my best decisions,

after having my daughter.

Will teach her what I believe,

“Beloved, gaze in thine own heart, 

the holy tree is growing there,”

and that from our lives

we make meaning.
