When it is just the four of us wandering in unknown places I’m so happy. Our family myth writing itself in each of us – one of moving and immersion, of fear and confrontation, of whimsy and love. Above all, love. We are an army of love.

I can still remember that first moment climbing into your Landcruiser. Words disjointed and fluttering even as I spilled out a ‘hello’ and ‘thanks for picking me up.’ Your arm lay across the back of the passenger seat. I’ve often wondered if it was that arm and it’s expansive fling that lured me. ‘Look’, it said. ‘Look how much space there is for you.’
Cornwall, You had me at 300 miles of costal path. Now stop already #Cornwall #UK #stunna
You. You. You. #sundayvibes
Not sure it gets better than this. I’d dance with you my forever, my darling. #daughter #love #this
Definitely helps. #3amthoughts #happiness
The day started like this….smack the phone. The icy interface projects the digital score: 3:12am. I fall back somewhere not quite sleep until 4:15am buzzes like a teenage thug shouting obscenities. “Oh God,” I moan. “What am I doing with my life,” and slam fingers on phone telling it to hush. Husband rustles and turns toward heaven and I dare not look, fearful it will arouse the desire to scream “to hell with it all. Sleep only sleep.” I
I look away, throw covers and push from melting heat, to icy surfaces. Floor. Toilet. Sink. I hate them. Each and every one of them. But thoughts are disavowed. No good here. I send the devious bastards away. Pajamas off. Face washed. Socks on. Pants. Shirt. Sweats. Boots. Pull drinks from fridge and zip coat in a metal yawn. The door slams, that world no longer exists.
I am off to work.
How was your Monday morning?

As a woman, I have no country. As a woman I want no country. As a woman my country is the whole world.’ Virginia Woolf.
The wild abandon of empty space.
I have loved your words and your scraggy lust for all the wonders that pass through our lives. I have inwardly melted into the page…crawling, suckling, giving over to grief and those sudden rushes of joy you write of. Even though you are gone you will write anew in every mind that comes into communion with your steadfast and soaring poems. #ripmaryoliver #maryoliver #thankyou

Mud in my beard
Shit on my nose
Birds above
Snakes below.
Humans shuffle
And speak on repeat
I scamper and sweat
Piss steaming in heat.
What a bore and a snore
And a slow stammering death
to chatter and walk
Words tumbling on breath.
I sniff the land awake
Gulping sand and air
Skidding and galloping I make
The world my lair.

My 4 year old son wrote a book. Here it is:
The Solar System
When the solar system vibrated Mars goes around the sun.
The sun goes around Mars and then Mars tries to catch earth and then Earth grabs Mars and takes it to the sun to get really hot and warm. Then Mercury which is really cold goes close to Mars, too.
Mercury wanted to be friends with Mars, but Mercury freezed on ice.
The End.

Farewell 2018. So many extraordinary books kept me company this year. I love, love, love reading and my time with a good book in one hand and an espresso in the other are some of my favorite or as Hemingway wrote, ‘there is no friend as loyal as a book’ or Jhumpa Lahiri , ‘that’s the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet,’ or as Stendhal said in The Red and the Black, one of the books I read this year, ‘A book is an event in my life’. Yes to all of the above and more. There will never be enough minutes in this life for all the books I want to read. What did you read this year and why did it matter?
