This is the archive of writings from contributor Laurie Jameson. As you may know, Laurie passed away on July 6th, 2021. I just didn't have the heart to remove anything from the site so placing them here will be easier to read. I will be adding more of her work from time to time. She had sent me a lot of things to post. Thank you for reading.

Komorebi

From the Japanese,
meaning “tree-light,”
the interplay between
leaves and sunshine,
scattered, filtered.
In English, we might
say dappled or diffused,
but the word also means
a melancholic longing
for a person, place,
or thing far away, not
seen but remembered,
a nostalgia, a flickering
sense of once having
known the feel of a rouge
sunbeam breaking through
multiple moving branches
in order to illuminate
a face almost forgotten.
