Here are my first efforts at writing haiku as well as other "small stones," short polished pieces of writing. I am a single vegan lesbian living with 6 pets on Vashon Island. I spend my days primarily quilting "portable hug" quilts which I donate to folks who could use a portable hug for a variety of reasons. I also tutor/mentor middle school and high school students in a variety of subjects. I am interested in yoga, daoism, and haiku.

This Blog Has Moved!
I have moved this blog to Daphne's Haiku and Other Small Stones so that all four (I know it is absurd) of my blogs are now on WordPress. Thanks for following me there and changing your bookmarks, etc.
