have you met ann marie, have you been swept by the poetic way of her pen and photographs well i have. here is her loves

1. when my pen hits the paper and it cannot be stopped for hours and hours

2. how a slice of warm homemade bread with delicious raspberry jam can calm the heart

3. watching the sky change throughout the day: this morning was a wonderful gray, this afternoon a cheery blue

4. listening to friends sing and make instruments sing

5. my first garden soaking up the sun on our little patio

6. reading poetry line by line, then word by word

7. wearing my great-grandmother's apron while making more bread because i already ate the first loaf

8. day-dreaming about how good it feels to be alive, to be a sentient being

9. antique books with yellowed pages from the touch of another human being

10. feeling a storm move through me, cleansing my heart and soul
