bliss

Zeek's Coffeehouse.
(do,go)

A new delight to my senses,

makes me happy,
thankyoumoreplease.

This weekend I have had needed time to sit, be and kind of figure out what I am doing with my life. Have I come to any conclusions? Clearly, no. But, with a little help from Grace, I've found some lasting peace. And encountered unbelievable oodles of bliss, laughter, taste, noms, mojo, gifts and sight.


sing to me local natives,


Happy Saturday!

my man


the very best.
no less. always in our hearts.
blowing kisses in your face from here.
RIP Skyler, 2/15/12


My right hand man this past year and a half, skyler went home to be with Jesus today. No one compares to the love of your dog, the best friend to listen to you cry and scream and talk to yourself and laugh...doesn't feel the need to say a word. He just lifts his head and wags his tail and lays by the feet of those who need it most. You will be missed buddy.

we grow up


we grow up with matches,

anticipating a time when the

flame will stop burning,

and the wick will end.

a feverish glow, that lights up

our senses and sends

us a call to put love

in the mend.


we grow up with fences,

to keep the safe falling in the

spells from lost strangers,

when they say loud our name.

a shallow wood, to hide skin

from danger with eyes

still wide open to

see what's inside.


we grow up with cotton,

to cover the beauty of

naked and scars that

leave broken in name.

a thin layer, it whispers

your safe from the

hatred of battered

the breath in your

own makers way.


we grow up,

and we look back.




"when the light pours through and scatters
shadows of leaves, I will think of you".


love, margot

when you go to wisconsin

"we plan the way we want to live, but only God makes us able to live it."
proverbs 16:9

This past week I had the pleasure of hanging out with the Gillmore family!!
First time back in wisconsin after almost two years.
What a treat.

It started off with an air ride and snow.
In-between was founded by cringle, american outlaws, games of all faces, little children, big children, fast paced driving, where the wild things are, milwaukee at night, great conversations, many new greetings, creepy miniature golf, homemade breakfastes, fires, illuminaries, sarcasm and of course, a shoot off.
It unfortunately ended with feeling like I got hit by a bulldozer, a truck and a lil baby elephant.

Regardless, I am thankful for this much needed time with lifelong friendships. How cool is God?

Here's a small sketch of the happenings.

white peony

sometimes all you need


is tea.

and to sugar it off:

. the smell of great weathered books
. friends that makes sunshine each day
. strangers to learn from
. and pandora

we find

a little bit of this,

"Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace." F. Buechner

and a little bit of that,



and sure, a little of this too,

[ilovestumbling]
