my brother downloaded the Spore Creature Creator (my apple is too old :() and it is incredibly cool. amazing, really. my three-year-old designed three separate monsters (each detail given life by her uncle) while i went to see Ironman with my sister-in-law. sweet game, sweet brother, sweet movie–all highly recommended, except my brother is already taken.

i cannot wait until the day you click ‘print’ and a virtual Spore model hops from the screen into your hand. you know what cute pets they would make?

i’m the elm, the creative spirit; you’re the reader, with voice and context. together we are the story.

i hope this site will be a refreshment. welcome to my home.

the elm
slips its branches
down,
surrounds and
sips
your light.

its roots
shine,
its bark glows
swells
swallows you.

whole.

YOU sigh,
content.
