state of confusion

If this is Sunday morning
and we’re still headed North,
then please grant us some Neil Young,

not the raw, scratchy Neil of Saturday night
when we crushed new creases into
upholstery,

but an ethereal hymn to suit these redwoods,
this foggy road;

and, if it isn’t asking too much,
bless us with a Sandy Denny tune
to wonder where time goes,
how it doesn’t matter to you if I’ve aged
or how I’m still afraid of bridges;


something to match a Mendocino sky.

Well dang girl, you're back and now I'm not missing you any longer, just my HOME...

oh, yes, there are places and spaces of California that I would love to visit again...but if I were to come home to see family, I would most CERTAINLY have to see ALL of my California friends AND POETS!

And as for your comment in Willow?  Darlin' girl, coming from you?  

I'm blushing.  Because I know I've been blessed...thank you for that...

and thank you for sending me home again.

Fun to read.  I enjoyed it.  I could almost hear the music.

Oh, another beauty from you Corinne... Thank you!

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

"and, if it isn’t asking too much,
bless us with a Sandy Denny tune
to wonder where time goes,

or how I’m still afraid of bridges;"

such should be the gift to you..and all..to know

always enjoy Cor.. always

you have a way of winding those words ontot he page that leaves me not only feeling them, but thinking about what it is I feel and why... thank you for the gift... the gift of words..
