Written by Joanna M. Weston   

I sift long days

through my fingers,

gather friendships

in a bowl

as harvest fruit

to be stored,

savoured on cold nights

when winds clash

roads lie empty

of footsteps,

and the arctic sky

freezes every grave.

 

Here I print photos

on my hands,

paint pictures

inside my skull,

and hold private viewings

in the dark.

Life Outside The Box

Editor Notes

Editor's Note

  • Editors Note Future Issue


    As the old wisdom states: in order to understand the future, you need to understand the past. How true is that? The past entices learning, reminds us of what to do and what not to do, teaches us valuable lessons, and shows us from where we have come and how far. Women suffragists have blazed trails for our future, herbal women have taught us how to heal and nurture ourselves, our travels have taught us to value what we have or to reach for a better future, and our innermost desires poke to the surface reminding us to act, that there is more we want to do. Of course, we need to look toward the future, but the wisdom of the past must always be our companion.
