Making a Lover
I imagined talking to my former lover’s new squeeze. How frustrating that she was so worried about all the wrong things and missing the best he had to offer. If only I could tell her…but of course, no.

Star Stud
I’ve come back to this very romantic piece for Valentine’s Day. Does the heart good–eh? It can be slightly rough on the other parts of the anatomy, though.
About Love: the bittersweet heart
The bittersweet heart isn’t a downer. It’s focusing it’s lens on “love past the bursting of passion in each artery wall and sticky bit of skin. Love past the years–that lasting, longed-for, whole adult love…”
About Love is a gift book and a 40 minute show that tours easily. Here are some pictures from the February debut at HipBone Studio in Portland.
Broken Hearts Seem Such a Waste
This piece from About Love has gone thorugh a lot of transformation–from problem piece to oneof the centerpieces of the show. I’ll feature this piece at Scratch–Portland’s wonderful performance lab. In the meantime, what do we do with that detritus from love gone bad?
Love that Was
Can you go back into a relationship? Can you process out of a relationship? Maybe–maybe not. Doing anything constructive with love seems to be a bit dicey, but worth the try…These are 2 short Haikus–Love Retroactive and Love Lost, but not Forgotten, from About Love:the bittersweet heart, debutting February 22 in Portland.
Rejection
Sometimes we’re our own worst enemy. That’s not just an old adage. It’s time to stop rejecting the stuff inside (and outside) us and to stop internalizing all that other “rejection” we may run across. Rejection is from Big Words. It’s featured in the book About Love; the bittersweet heart,
now available for Holiday Delivery.
Balancing on My Heart
Some pieces needed re recording for the new site and this is one of them. This is part of my book–About Love: the bittersweet heart. This was my most downloaded piece from the old site. For me, the feel of this piece has changed quite a bit as I’ve gone further down the road with this project.
