Stay long
Stay your boat
Heavy
Stay the water, sinking
Stay arms, fingers
stay eyes, stay stretch
Stay open
Strech open, stay open, stretch open
Stretch open, Stay open with me
Let us not pretend that we are not doing this
We have each other awhile
And now a great feather entwined enraptured
The great hair in your head around us encircled
Around us now, let the silence be shaking and quaking
I would ask hearts to be loud enough to pound
I would ask feeling to pulse through the crackle of the air
If it is in u, if u can feel it, bring it out
We are here for a night, enchanted in chance
Enchanted for awhile for we…are your mere supplicants of joy
Let us bear the fruit of this mythical speech of our divine selves
Let us sup together, let us say , w’as up!
Let us laugh together, let us break the power mold!
Or go as far as u can go and so will I!
and that is all I shall promise
Tonight the great promises are primordial yet
The screams carry resonance into such dreams that futures could become undone and done again, respun
let the spinning be spoken
let the spoken spinning be summoned up
We are sunshine dwellers, We are callers of manifestation
We are… let our hair be our vines, be our be hands, be dripping, our mouths be agape with such words, poetry
as is the mere lava of life spewing forth from our entrails
They come back again! And bleed and soar and cry
There are only dreams and dust and love
And all that can be made to shake and mold in between us
Let it shake and mold us, let us mold each other
Let us become emulsified into a great lava of spinning cubes of words
Oh I love u
If u doubt my heart
Well doubt it all u want
And I will love u again

Warm Nourishing Locally Grown Drinks- Key Tea
This is Key Tea, the key to the path of local herbs, the musical key calling forth a tone of coming back to the earth, coming to the abundance in the garden next door, in the farm up the street, in the life of plants, close plants, Bay Area plants, plants that live and breathe, and feel the same air as us, who defend themselves against the same diseases, the same conditions, who help us thrive, and whose species is blessed by our acceptance, our not looking across oceans for leaves, or across continents for roots. Our roots are here in the Bay Area, in this chilly, bright climate, in these clay and sand soils. We help farmers with this tea, we help our health with every sip, we live our connection with every cup. Visit Key Tea!

Nourishing Food: Megan McCulloch & Cherimoya
Bold, bright and daring might be words to describe Cherimoya’s style. Having collected flavors, inspiration and ideas from around the world, a fresh contemporary cuisine is born and married with a focus on local, seasonal organic foods. Pushing the boundaries of new exotic flavors is balanced with centuries-old wisdom and technique. But enough of this flowery talk, let the food speak for itself…
Eating well is a delicate balance of eating healthy, nourishing, whole foods and delighting in the culinary riches of flavor and cuisine. Gleaning the most out of both worlds, Cherimoya focuses on fresh, organic, local, seasonal and grown-with-love foods, and cooking with inspiration from a wide variety of the world’s cuisines. Cooking and eating with love and passion is at the core of my beliefs.
For more information, visit Cherimoya Food.
