Dive Deep.

The underworld goddess pulling me down

incubating in the soup swamps

Mucking in the mire

Rolling in my own shit

…life would be better if…

all parts of the whole

what’s mine?

to enjoy

to pass back to the whole?

empty shelf of a life

devoid of meaning

no child

no grandchildren

no great grandchildren

dig deeper to remember I have the spiritual kind, the soul kind

no snotty noses to wipe or snuggles in bed, lonely house at christmas looking through the gold glow window of neighbors’ houses full with family

descending as I ascended

beyond mother

before grandmother

to great grandmother

an only child.

Carmen the Chicken Killer by Sarah Curtiss

This is the story of my 2-month stay in Costa Rica a few years ago. It wasn’t my first trip. I had visited the year before with my partner, William Solis, who is from Costa Rica. But this particular year I wanted to learn Spanish. My initial plan was to take an immersion course in Mexico. However, William said that if I was going to immerse myself in a Spanish family it might as well be his. They don’t speak any English so I would be forced to speak Spanish and I could get to know them better. I told him that when I returned I would know more about him and his family than he did and so it has proven to be true. William joined me for the last 10 days. This is my journal plus emails I wrote to family and friends and a few comments from my current perspective…six years later. I drew a picture every day using pencil, pen, colored pencil, water colors, and acrylics. I wrote in my journal almost every day. I took photographs.
