magnetic poetry: brilliance in a box

who knew it was so easy to find the words in my heart.
"Until I get over you, get in the oven... I'd been, I say, I'll how oh too but done."

summer in california

A new home has been forged out of sweat and blood. My mom has made her home in the old gold country deep in the mountains where a bit of the former existence: gnarled old toothless men, panning for gold in the rivers that cut through this land and bring the precious water and cool shade of trees on the hot days, and the small world feel of the antique wine villages and aging abandoned corners that used to be metropolitan hubs.
The distinctive golden hills of this part of California will always mean summer to me and now will remind me of home... the kind of home that moves where ever loved ones are.

It is time to get out the Atlas

I have a new home. Consider coming for a visit.

UpDate:
So less than twelve hours before leaving Shanghai for the summer I signed a lease for a great new apt. I have a place to live... and a job it is almost like I am making a new life in China. who would have guessed?

And I am back in the States for the summer, currently lying in the sun in a park in San Francisco... I will spend the next 7 weeks traipsing all around the country trying to see as many loved ones as possible. Then in August I will go to work teaching, learning, living and playing.

As I am reminded of how much I love and miss my friends I am inspired to INVITE YOU to visit me in Shanghai. I have the new apt that has a great spare room... and any excuse to travel is a good one. So consider a trip to China this year.... I will make it memorable... and well worth your while... Promise.

While I am in the US I have a new cell # so feel free to reach me: (415.283.8793)
