For Jim

Breathing,
I see life clearly
Through the eyes of another.

Safe,
He makes me feel
Cherished, we walk and laugh.

Tomorrow
May not be ours.
We live each day in question.

Today
I feel the light, heat, strength,
Love, to go on.

I love personalities. Not necessarily famous ones, just good ones around the neighborhood and around town and the friends made over many years. People who have an “aura” of interesting-ness. Artists, business-women. Yes, they’re mainly women. Except for the Jewish neighbor who is an ordained minister and stands ready to help us out in a re-commitment ceremony and the gay dive travel coordinator I’ve worked with in the past.

Personalities have always been in my circle, though I’ve never seen myself as one, a participant but just a chronicler, yet some have thought me a leader. Only in certain political pursuits – otherwise I’m just another old married lady! See you Sunday! Dee
