making up songs and words- and singing from the soul...


i saw a coffee mug today that said "this mug is for coffee..." on one side, and on the other side it said "what are YOU for?"
i am for coffee. i am for dark chocolate covered pomegranate seeds and sand between my toes. i am for the smell of sunscreen and shea butter. i am for Burts Bees and spoon rings. i am for tattoos and mason jars. i am for brick buildings and stone archways. i am for march beats on snare drums and rice pudding. i am for Greek yogurt and claw foot bathtubs. i am for found keys turned into necklaces and rock climbing. i am for running on coastal roads and painting lampshades. i am for pianos and old .35mm film cameras. i am for starry nights with my sister and skinny dipping in moonlight. i am for sunrise ocean swimming and journaling in spanish. i am for love. i am for freedom and great literature. i am for glow sticks and motorcycles. i am for antique shops and wrought iron gates. i am for learning- everything. i am for languages and Middle Eastern food. i am for mangos and truth. i am for crying. i am for black and white films and frank sinatra. i am for life.
