Favorite Quote:
"I've wished for the same thing I've hoped for since the beginning. I wish for a life so brave, so unpredictable, so full of unexpected joys and unforgettable love that no box could possibly contain all the memories. Such a life won't be perfect. It'll be something better. It'll be my own paradise." -Patti Smith


I used to sit
in my grandmother's backyard,
and watch mourning doves
sit on her fence.
why are those doves
called "mourning"?
they must have been there
to tell her
that she wasn't alone.
everyone needs to grieve,
even birds.
