In times of old, The Furies protected Mother Right. If a mother (or any woman) was harmed, The Furies swooped down and took their vengeance. They were one of the last vestiges of a world that existed before the patriarchy. When we feel righteous anger, it is The Furies who are calling out to us to make what is wrong right again.

Excuse Me While I Kiss the Sky 

peonies

If I had never seen the sky, this is the color I would have painted it. I'm quite certain this flower is made from pieces of sky. A kind of origami. See, quick as a flash, the sky folder made a turn here, a crease there, a wink and a nod right there at the center. Or maybe in the end it was a kiss that did it, that made it all work and become this sky flower in my yard. A blue kiss, made of blue love. Too fanciful? Wait until you've kissed the sky. Or touched it, as I did this afternoon, my fingers on the star dust you can barely see in the day time—at night it blooms into constellations. But that is then. Now, now, I cannot resist. Excuse me while I kiss the sky. 3 comments
