Happy Valentine's Day!
Origami Heart
Crease folds, scrunch up
& wrinkle. Blink its pulse:
wings of candor– Ceylon
cinnamon red, red, red.
Cinderella’s last waltz.

Good News and Conversations
Good News!
Holy Cow! Press accepted my poem "Neutralities" for inclusion in The Heart of All That Is: Reflections on Home, to be published in a paperback edition during October, 2013.
Thank you, Jim Perlman, Deborah Cooper, Mara Hart, Pamela Mittlefehldt, co-editors.

Last week I began a new residency at School 33. A second grader asked me how old I was. This is the conversation:
"M.J., How old are you?"
"120 years old."
Really? you are 120?"
" Yep. How do I look?"
"You look good, Like 36."
"I do! That's wonderful. 36, really."
"M.J."
"Yes"
"God must have blessed you with such a long life."
" Why yes--yes he has."

Snowstorm on Friday, 2/8/2013, shutdown Rochester.
I stayed home and enjoyed the weather from the inside. It was a quiet weekend.
Made a pot of soul stirring soup.
Life is good.
