& maybe this is how it is—how parts of our small universe
dissolve like sugar cubes in water—a calling to ask us
to slow our busy breathing so we can marvel
at its magic.

"This poem gave me the opportunity to reflect on the kinds of living material within my life and how there is a limitation to my fixing, realizing how we must marvel at the magic and evolving beauty of aging."

Just finished writing a commissioned poem for 3rd grade about molcajetes... using meter and rhyme... and no joke it was a challenge... my brain feels like it went through the violent mashing of the molcajete 🧠
But I’m DONE thank the Lord Baby Jesus 😅🙌🏽
