I'm a 65-year-old professional in the mental health field. Not a therapist, more on the diagnostic end of things. I love the challenges and rewards of my career. I love that I can live in the ruggedly beautiful mountains of Northern California. My are healthy and happy about going to college. Life is good, but there is always another door to open.

My Ideal Person She lays worn out
On her kitchen table
Cold coffee dripping
On a splintered wooden floor
The preacher man running
From a smudged windowpane
Not recalling who she was
She births a bird from her mouth
And whispers, "no more"
