"Whatever you love, you are."
~Rumi
If this is true, then today I am
a fuzzy handmade hat with kitty ears
a small stuffed frog
a heart-leaf philodendron
the Aurora Borealis
a piglet
Mac OSX Leopard
my mother
my best friend
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's Blood Amber, blended with a drop of Lust
a holey stone
"Ya Rayah" by Rachid Taha
the human capacity for good
a grasshopper named Steve
Ghostbusters
a tree made of spirals
black yoga pants
a snake tattoo
the click-click-clatter of my Runes in their bag
a caffeine-free Diet Dr Pepper over ice with a red bendy straw...
...and that's just for starters.
What are you today?
a soft grey cowl-neck sweater
my prayer beads
the giggle of a happy baby
my girl's smile
Gaia Consort's music
Blue October's music
a black cat
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab's Bastet
an empty in-basket at work
my brothers
fuzzy socks
warm spicy food
warm spicy colors
warm spicy smells
gemstones
books
sheer orange curtains with twinkly lights in them

I am pasta primavera, the silky voice of the man who sat next to me in a meeting, a great novel, cool water, plush high-thread-count sheets, a pressure cooker, all of my awesome friends (in turn and all at once), resiliency, resourcefulness, and potential. I am also the drag queen I met this week, AND his mama.

today I am a royal blue cotton salwar kameez suit; a cup of coffee; my Cerridwen scent locket containing a bit of BPAL's Skadi-drenched cotton; staying home and warm while the outside is cold and wet; a small tiger tabby purring in my lap; the warm rump of a sleeping Westie pressed against my thigh.
(I love your blog, but I don't post often... or ever, till now.)

I am my family, my partner and my friends. I am a german shepherd, a weeping birch, silence, tempeh with rosemary, lemon and garlic, a good muddy walk in the woods, a natural history book, a flock of goldfinches, the look in my dogs eyes when he has a eureaka moment (it happens, seriously), a grass snake, water, Jane Eyre, and early morning sunshine.

Creme Brulee coffee with one splenda & some cream
the haunting notes of whale song
the softness of my lover's newly shaven cheek
tangerine highlighters
the idea of working at Best Friends Animal Society
the cuddly inside of my oversized sweatshirt
the colors of a Hawaiian sunset
the sound of laughter... anyone's laughter (as long as it springs from joy not malice)
Stitch, and his gleeful sense of michief
the taste of clean water
Hope

the smell of snow in the air
handspun wool yarn
bamboo knitting needles
the sound of my husband's voice
giggling children
candlelight
cat fur
homemade bread
chai tea
Lisa Thiel's voice and music
watercolors
the feel of a wet paint brush on paper

Today I am a job application that requires crayons, BPAL's Lyonnesse clinging to my pulse points, a vase of pink alstroemerias in a grey window, the phrase: inflagrante delicto, a phone call from home, curious twists of fate, a college-ruled composition book, and I am my fierce brave younger sister.

Today I am central heating, Prokofieff's 5th symphony, my best friend, my mom and dad, my apricot poodle who has fleas, a lovely comforter, a mug of decaf Constant Comment with honey, the Shining Woman Tarot.

Chiming in late...
...I am a wonderfully rambunctious, imaginative 10 YO boy
Snuggly, purring cats
A loving Golden Retriever who won't take no for an answer when trying to crawl into my bed
Delicious grey dampness
My amazingly creative teacher who writes this blog
The recently uncluttered love-seat in my room
A tub of incredibly hot, scented water...into which I am about to plunge my aching body.

an excited student,
a lesson that makes sense and opens minds,
my adorable nephew,
my impish niece, the drama queen,
an exotic dish of hummus and olives,
a tough, sweaty workout,
my ipod playing "96 Degrees in the Shade" while in the sauna after the above workout,
glowing, healthy skin,
my sweetheart, who I'm still in love with after 4 years
