Winter

It's December and sunny in California. But that doesn't matter, I still want to hibernate...


I walked down 7th street the other day and saw the pomegranates squished on the pavement. Splat. That's how I've been feeling lately. My body is unreliable.





My friend Laura reminded me years ago, that the fruit falls off for a reason. And that it's not a waste... It's to rot, then nourish the roots of the tree so that it can live through the winter and get on with its cycle.


And do the same thing again next year, hopefully a little taller and a little stronger.
