Poems for Ski to Live Guests Alta '08

For:


Mel- Who one day, will say with authority “I’m not sorry”

Patrick- our beloved new, old friend

Abby- knowing when to turn around and come back tomorrow

Sabrena- who laughs with abandon and makes us love her

Laurie- who can’t say penis, but can definitely paint them

Seanie- who speaks like a bunny, but lives like a lion

Robin- holding as trophies, her rolladex in one hand and her heart in another

JJ- Who will drop everything when it’s right

Amanda- drawing us in with but a wink

Jennifer- who keeps our ball rolling, even when we’re asleep

Paul- as we whistle at you from inside the Zen Center

Andrea- feeding the world with devotion and pursuit

Nancy- who trusts unconditionally- you know you can write me about anything, anytime

Mike- linear he walks, yet directly into the arms of his waiting father

Ron- who has come so, so far in this journey, and is awake

Lisa- now speaking her truth with strength and certainty

Sharon- who deserves a standing ovation everyday

Karl- who is not afraid to reveal secrets

Al- turning the dust of his past into gold

Peter F- exploring heart ache through the path of love

Melanie- Merry Christmas to you, wife, friend, and human being

LeeAnn- No matter how long it takes, you always graduate

Leah- smiling, all the while, passed out on the floor

Amy- who finally had sex with anger

Tom- whom I miss more than words can say

Larry- the bright, beautiful pain in the ass

Peter K- as he starts a revolution

Chris- who dares, oh no, to share the truth while skiing.

And to Kristy- will you be my assistant?
