Kristy started and ran this website, is super cool, and is now in family practice residency (on the island, I think?). This, of course, is a stub. The image is from twitter, accessed via google images. Can/will be changed if desired. Again, just a stub.

D&C
D&C. Such a simple sounding thing. If it were C&D, We might add it to our alphabet song. Arrange soft & sauced alphagetti, Or lettered sugar sweet breakfast, But pasta nor cereal Comes up or goes down During a D&C. The heartbeat was hard to find. Clinic, emerge. I thought I could find it – […]
Even on Saturday
I just finished this poem after a rather frustrating period of feeling overly self-absorbed and subsequently finding myself in a less than compassionate space. I watch you hang up. Slowly.

It questions. Flips and turns, bubbles and bobs. Dynamic question marks, Inn-acted with fins. […]
Narratives 2 (The Narrative of CaRMS)
This isn’t art-fully presented (yet perhaps), but a sketch of some memories I want to remember that are quickly fading. The narrative of 3 weeks. Reflected. Of meeting new friends, Some recognized from the big screen, Or from cities in our collective past, Mere few days or few flights back. Site visits at local gluten-free […]
Narratives
I’m reminded of texture Today, as light reflects. Off grass stalks straight, Cedar hedges scaled wild. And context – The here now why how. How narrative weaves The text of texture, context. The lightness, darkness, in between, Gives voice to both. Or rather all. The here now why how. Those stories and feelings, Reflecting more. […]
