FOR TINA Your visit again today brief surprise sunflower dazzle in the foreground of my busy life. Mountains beyond willingly unfocus for the sheer pressure of you….

For all the things you make us do
FOR ALL THE THINGS YOU MAKE US DO For all the things you make us do like bends and twists till we are blue right in the face. Each standing pose from crown of head to tips of toes. Like going heels up over head. “Full arms balance. Begin.” you said. “Exhale, descend, on platform …
