Hi, I'm Laurel. I live on five acres in the foothills of the Cascades where I'm daily restored by God's creation in the midst of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. After studying the arts in London, I taught at the University of Washington while earning my Masters of Arts in the performance of literature. I am the retired founder of Over the Moon Storytelling. My published article won second prize in the nationally renowned Amy Foundation writing contest.
Stick to string
the viola takes the lead--
falls and rises
at the skylight
over her bed;
A back-and-forth bow
draws her out of hiding
like a note of scripture
plucked off the bed table,
a pencil whisper
under morning covers.
Night terrors clang.
Brassy cymbals, they crash
and fade--
out played
by the hand-strung
pacific rain.
...By the grace of God I am what I am...
Paul to the church at Corinth (15:10)
