Sometimes, I think I know the exact moment when I shift out of a depression. A flag, an occurrence, even wrenching in a small way, signals to me. I walk down 18th on Capitol Hill and see an exquisitely green caterpillar inching across the sidewalk. The quality of noticing is what I notice. I crouch down and watch. The bug is so green, undulating, intent on its next appointment. And then I know. I have been given back my sight. Again. I'm back.
About Me
- Naomi S
- A few things I know for sure. That revolving doors make me nervous. That, sometimes, it takes courage to do the simplest things. That the moment in a theatre before the stage lights come on is exquisite. That poetry is often "one short step to the good ground (May Swenson)." That I love swimming anywhere but especially in swimming pools.
