Walkin in the Sand

So soon it seems you're not ready to move forward, but only stall in the footsteps familiar to the past. Then you close your eyes, sigh, and move your feet. When you pay attention, you notice your movement. Reluctant, still breathing. Moving on, even without yourself. You just act. React, to the moment, the following, the turbulence felt in every vibration of being, still left behind.

This is you.
You're phyiscal, you had to move.
Did you think you would just have stalled out and rusted to the ground?
Organic resemblance, being thawed. You've evolved past trinkets, lockets, chains linked and playful along your wrist. Not as brittle as you would have once solved.

Durable you. Insightful, constant. Even wihtout hope you are constant.
There is a sweetness in this. A grace to hold under the light that shows why a spirt could outlast a body, and why we fail to conceive greater purposes for ourselves.
We think small, yet act large. Body is contradiction. Spirit is restless, and placed inside mostly, compartmentalized. Still seeping out pores - comingle with other spirit.

Here is your link. A lasting impression, forged silently. It's what tugs you through the sand.

I sought the eyes of her face; along with their color, and holding smile. She traced me along the footprint I patted down; little girl beating brown; a tiny hand of mud.

Ways You Can Support 💜 Dear Friends, As I navigate some meaningful transitions this season, I’m reaching out with gratitude and humility. If you feel called to support, here are a few ways your kindness could truly help me and my little family right now: Help us get to León (August 14–21) so the kids and I can spend our birthday week together with loved ones. Contribute to our August rent — a little breathing room would mean a lot. Share resources or curriculum for advanced elementary studies — I’m homeschooling! Help me enroll in an advanced Spanish class. Support with vehicle tag renewal costs. Haircuts for the kiddos. New clothing for the little ones — they grow so fast! Help organizing and decluttering at home. Let me know if your address can be a reliable business address for LAPS correspondence. Let me know if you have a safe space to store a few treasured keepsakes from the kids’ (and my) childhood. Help us host a community birthday c...

Starting a Voyage --- NaPoWriMo 2019

- Sharing a poem a day - National Poetry Month April 1: (no title) Be in your self. Skin in and around the hidden   and deep, sharing and exposed, in a place only time remembers. Jessica M. Wilson April 2: Grab somebody  & show them your laughter. April 3: Grab a bag and put 20 poets in it. That's us in a rush -- 20 under 60; no time for mic check. Jessica M. Wilson (reading on a budget)  #timeclockawareness April 4: Twisted This is me: lonely, thinking if what I am giving you is enough -- to hold my eyes shake my hand understand me. To laugh and play along; pick a part out of this script, until you are able to show me enough of you is what I need, to stop needing an approval of where I belong. Jessica M. Wilson 4/4/19  5:09pm
