thoughts and prayers.

"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all."
— Emily Dickinson

 Mr. D is away filming on a business trip -

it was the first time I have slept alone in our house -

and so in a sea of sheets and pillows,

I sat up in bed this morning watching pictures of the devastation in Japan flash before my eyes.

The room felt immediately miniscule and the bed somehow monstrous.

My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan, and all those 

around the world who are dealing with the tragedy.

So glad to have husband back home tonight,

I'm not used to sleeping alone anymore.
