Blue Squares We lay there and looked up at the night sky and she told me about stars called blue squares and red swirls and I told her I'd never heard of them. Of course not, she said, the really important stuff they never tell you. You have to imagine it on your own. Item #SPP1 |

Center On Wheels I spent a long time trying to find my center until I looked closely one night and found it had wheels and moved easily in the slightest breeze, so now I spend less time sitting and more time sailing. Item #SPP2 |

Chihuahua I remember once I went to my great-grandmother's house. It was a big white house & it always smelled like slightly burned toast & raspberry jam. She had a picture of Jesus on the wall in her living room. She told me his eyes would follow you around when you walked. I told a friend about it a while ago. He nodded & said he used to have a Chihuahua that did the same thing. Item #SPP5 |

Bones of Light I remember we sat in the swing on the front porch & as the dusk came on us like a song, dark throated & sweet, he told me about the beginning when we had bones of light & hair that burned like the sun & I asked what happened then? & I felt him floating there in the soft dark & finally he said we forgot & I said I never would, but sometimes I do & I understand now why he puts his arm around me & said nothing more. $ 385.

SinBox(three stories) 1.) I see stuff like this a lot in my dreams, so I decided it should at least be doing something useful while I figure out what it means. 2.) I've tried to keep my sins organized over the years. That way I can correct it quickly if I find I'm missing out on something good. 3.]This box could probably put a curse on someone who believed in that stuff, like a burglar maybe. Personally, I don't believe in curses, but I don't think I'd take anything from a box that looked like this either just to be safe. $800.00 Item #SPS4 |
