From Doves To Tigers

June 25, 2020October 6, 2025

The day before I left Waimea Bay, the spinner dolphins fell from the heavens. They came right up to me and Juniper and pirouetted out of the water. I swam with them, and we talked about the clouds, and played fetch with seashells. The dolphins told me that their favorite kind of clouds are the ones...

Sea Gypsy

June 18, 2020October 6, 2025

I’m a sea gypsy now. Living on the hook and harvesting rain. The sea is my sanctuary and I need nothing but air. I shout to the wind, “Honey, I’m a seed and you are the wind, which way are we going today?” I don’t really know where I’m going half the time. And many...

Stardust

May 30, 2020October 6, 2025

Sometimes I wish I was a starfish, life would be a lot easier without a brain or a heart. Just lying there, clinging to coral, and stoned on the sea. And if you were a shark or a manta ray or an Alaskan king crab, you could eat one of my limbs and it wouldn’t...

The Sunnyside

May 14, 2020October 6, 2025

I don’t remember the last time I showered. Does jumping into the sea count? Sorry to tell you that, but it’s the truth. I tell you all my truths. As if you were my diary. Now you know everything. What’s on the surface of my skin. What’s beneath my skin. What’s crawling inside my skin...

Ship Shape

April 26, 2020October 6, 2025

The beauty of life is that everything is always up in the air and with the shape of your lips and thoughts you can change its direction. It’s as if life was the wind and our bodies were boats and our words were sails. So, what is the shape of your ship? Mine is the...

The Lightning & The Whale

April 20, 2020October 6, 2025

Back in 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were abducted from their car in the woods of the White Mountains. Two hours vanished. They awoke- clothes ripped. Dirty. Caked in a mysterious dust. Their heads were foggy. Their reality undone. Their night an incomplete story. They remembered being chased by a light that dropped out of...

Pink Moon

April 14, 2020October 6, 2025

At 9 am, on the morning of the super moon, I got high with a sea turtle. I did not care for the submarines or the shipwrecks or the smoke water rings, I only had eyes for that turtle. We were eyeball to eyeball, but I was the one upside down. Under it’s spell, in...

Electric Beach

April 7, 2020October 6, 2025

I splashed Juniper back in the water. She’s sitting pretty and sailing smoothly with her new facelift. She has been sanded and waxed and painted. Her blisters, bandaged. Her thirsty wood, fed a stiff drink of teak oil. Her broken, rusty fridge, replaced. The holes in her fiberglass, patched. Her prop, polished free of barnacles....

From Sun Up To Sun Down

April 2, 2020October 6, 2025

I’m working on Juniper from sun up to sun down. Running myself to the gritty, gritty ground. My dogs are barking. My eyelids are sunburned. I’ve got band-aids and paint everywhere. I’ve lost five pounds and half of a fingernail. And worst of all, the stitches from my surgery popped open and it took me...

Fish Out Of Water

March 26, 2020October 6, 2025

I love being on lockdown in Hawaii. It’s an excuse to repair Juniper all day and ignore everything else. I also suppose that lockdown doesn’t feel so severe because my home moves. I moved Juniper today. Sailed her straight over to a shipyard. It’s like a boat hospital. Here, new boats are born and old...
