Mi piace spiarti, lo sai,
mentre ti prendi cura di me,
assicurandoti che tutto sia in ordine,
sussurrando a entrambi amabili frasi,
stringendo nervosamente qua e là una fibbia,
immersa in chissà quali pensieri che ti sistemano gli stivali.
Ti ammicco mentre tu ammicchi
coi tuoi bei lineamenti tirati,
il nero copricapo sopra le candide ciocche,
poco prima di salire in groppa,
in quell'istante eterno,
imbrigliato anche lui negli occhi di zaffiro.
Quanta forza nel sentirti lì con me,
percepire la vita indaffarata nelle tue mani,
nel saldo abbraccio delle gambe,
in quel gioco di stimoli tutto nostro.
Il mio petto si solleva alla consapevolezza
che ti consegnerei il mondo se tu me lo chiedessi.
Una voce distorta ti fa sussultare.
L'ho sentita anch'io.
Con la coda dell'occhio ravviso appena le tue labbra,
riassunte comicamente in una linea.
Ci facciamo compagnia in uno sbuffo,
più esauriente di cento parole.
Oh, mia complice padroncina,
se tu solo sapessi che,
per quanto io mi affanni,
la cosa che curerà tutte le mie ferite,
che abbatte le paure come un ariete,
sostiene come il vento fa con le ali,
riscalda nel gelo come un sole fidato,
spinge con l'impeto di mille cuori,
rilassa i muscoli in un lieto riposo,
fa felice nel dolore come l'illuminazione,
la visione di ciò che mi attende,
il pensiero che mi conforta nella fatica,
il mio unico, intimo e impronunciabile desiderio
è quella carezza sul collo,
dolce come il tuo profumo quando sei tesa,
tenue com’è alla fine il suono del tuo respiro,
che riempie e rovescia e infrange il cuore
e che mi fa essere fiero di renderti fiera di me.

"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from it's presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.”
If they had told me about the pain that was to come
When I rested in your smile that day
Or about the sound I could make, visceral, animal
When I got the news
If when I had lost myself in your eyes
and your kiss
They had told me I would feel like I was gone in an instant
That mirrors would no longer reflect me,
but me without you
What would I do?
I would choose you.
After many a journey, seeking acceptance, warmth and a belonging...she finds it...while on the beach with her "family" she finally makes a true connection. Her story is just beginning.
Thank you for your many gifts Skippy.

One afternoon I walked to the park with my children. While there, I noticed three young children and the oldest sister (who looked too young for this responsibility) appeared to be in charge of her two younger siblings. As I noticed these children I felt so sad for them and concerned for their safety. I used my camera to take some pictures of nature and the middle of the three siblings was watching me. She began talking to me and was very interested in the picture I had just taken, my camera, telling me about her interest in taking pictures, her instant film camera which she doesn’t have film for right now, that she would like to have a camera like I had. I told her I hoped someday she could have a camera of her own and she said maybe she could when she was older. She asked if she could see the photo I had just taken so I showed her the image of the leaf on my camera screen and she really liked it. She told me an idea she thought would make a good picture—across an open, grassy area, looking into the sunset. I took a quick, simple picture which certainly wasn’t fantastic. I showed her the picture and she said she really liked it (I deeply appreciated her kind words) and I told her that the photo was inspired by her. I felt concerned and sad for this girl, afraid of what could happen to her if she met a dangerous person here at the park. I was so thankful that today she was talking to someone who didn’t intend to harm her, who cared about her and her wellbeing and I was thankful for the connection we made through our interest in photography. I don’t even know what her name was and to me this was a meaningful connection. Due to harmful interpersonal experiences (especially as a child) it’s difficult for me to connect with others and I was thankful that on this day I made a connection with this girl. I would struggle to put into words how these moments were helpful and healing for my own journey and I hope that in some way our time together was perhaps beneficial for this girl as well. While I don’t consider these images anything spectacular, seeing them does remind me of the meaningful connection we shared that day.

____________________________
As a way to cope with circumstances beyond my control, survive and work to keep fighting for life I decided to try to take at least one photo (or more) each day. I call this “a photo (or more) a day.” Practicing this form of therapeutic photography helps me work to focus on the present moment, gives me something familiar and enjoyable to focus on as I use photography skills that have become like second-nature to me and being able to view the images I capture helps me recall what I was thinking, feeling and noticing at the moment when I created the photos. More of the photos from this series can be seen on my Instagram account
I may not always have the energy, time or capacity to share photos from this series—especially with the very challenging circumstances my family and I are experiencing—and will do my best to continue taking a photo (or more) a day even if I’m not able to share.
If you would like to support my work and my family, one way you can do so is by ordering my zines:
Many thanks for your support.

They're asleep but they can feel the rythm.
