I am fortysomething, and have been married to “Dirt Man” for more than half my life. We have two sons who are both in college. We have a dog, Wylie, the wild Labradoodle.
Basically, I write because I must. It is as much a part of me as breathing. I write in search of something not visible to the eye. I rely on human experience as subject and draw on emotional depth. I am just a feeler of feelings and a weaver of words. Simply, I live from the inside out.
I take dogs over cats any day. I’ve had cats, just prefer dogs.
I am one of those crazy purple lovers.
I am the youngest of six kids. My sister and I are a bit younger than the first four. My Father’s explanation is that they bought a TV.
I work from home.
I think perfection is overrated.
I am addicted to FaceBook, and I am in love with my laptop.
I quilt, write, love, and live.
I have some poetry posted on this site, but I do have a separate poetry blog. http://suzicatepoetry.wordpress.com/
This is a poem I wrote that might somewhat explain the title of my blog.
The Water Witch’s Daughter
The Man flows
With the pull of gravity
His daughter gravitates
From the pull of the flow
Vein of life
Piercing like a dart
Through the palm of her hand
Vein of life
Pounding his soul
As he walks the land
He divines for streams
Beneath grass, stone, trees, hardened clay
She divines for dreams
Lost in the night and carried into day
Earth – flesh
Rock – bone
Water – blood
Where did she begin?
Where was she to end?
The river runs through her family blood
The river runs through her
The river runs
Hi Susan,
Wow you are a pretty darned good writer. thanks for your tribute to Stephanie. I really was quite absent during her illness – living in CA. I was so saddened by her death and have thought of her so many times during these past 12 years. thank you for writing about her and giving me an opportunity to cry today. Your heart is a blessing.

Love the Dramatic or not so Dramatic parts of Life. So well said will be follwing your blogs. Saw this on Jan Carsons post and thought wow!. I had an AHHA moment. I’am 54 years old and sometimes you look for ways to express to people how you feel and can’t or is just is so hard to part into words. Cause some people just won’t get it anyway,.. you say it. As long as you,.. yourself no what it is your mojo is. safe travel……to those that don’t.

Just thought I’d stop by and let you know I’m bookmarking your site since I don’t have time at the moment to read all these wonderful posts. It seems we have a lot in common actually – purple is my favorite color, I’m a writer and a Virginian. I like cats, but am terribly allergic, so I tend to stay away from them…
Your poem is quite lovely. Even though I know it’s about a water witch, it made me think of Native Americans too, and vision quests….beautiful work!
And btw, if you hadn’t mentioned your general age, I would have assumed 38 or 39 at the oldest:D
I’ll be back soon!
By: Jen on March 16, 2011

I’m hopping over to check out your site…I am a native Virginia, though I now live in a different part of Virginia than that where I grew up. And you’re very kind about the age thing! Hope to see you again!

Hi Suzie,
I just started blogging, so I decided to look around and see what others are up to. I just looked at a few of your posts, and I just love what you have to say. You have a good sense of humor and a heavy dose of compassion. Very admirable.
I, too, enjoy nature, quilting, and purple.
Here is a quote that you are probably familiar with….
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere and don’t notice it.
Alice Walker
Thank you for sharing yourself.

SuziCate,
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement for Connor. In case you hadn’t guessed from the name, I’m his father, and yes, Sallie and I are very proud of him. He’s made us slightly crazy every once in a while, of course. His travel blog about giving up on the idea of sleeping in the New York subway because the transit cops kept waking him up and finding a better place on top of a small hill in Central Park did nothing for his mother’s peace of mind. Still, he survived it all and came back much the better for it.
In case you wondered (probably not, but I’ll add this just in case) I’m a suddenly-60 ex-cop turned mid-level bureaucrat, at least for a couple more years. Then I hope to have time to turn amateur archaeologist and full-time writer. I was commenting to an old college roommate, now an aquatic biologist-turned poet, that I wanted to write and to be an archaeologist and now my son is writing and my daughter is a few months from her degree in anthropology, specializing in archaeology. It feels a bit odd to see my children living out my dreams, but perhaps that’s really what this whole life business is all about, if we’re lucky.
BTW, I did very much enjoy the poetry you’ve posted. BTW the old roommate is Arthur J. Stewart, and you can find a couple of his books on Amazon. I grabbed a copy of his latest, Circle, Turtle, Ashes, when it came out a few months back, and enjoyed it greatly. As I told Art, it was strange to open a book and turn the pages, listening to a voice I hadn’t heard in thirty years. At any rate, I think you’d like his poetry and he’d like your photos of the snakes and turtles.
Again, thank you! I don’t Twitter, as a rule, and I’ve barely gotten a Facebook page started, but I’ll try to check in to see how your work develops.
Jim

Our kids have a way of making us crazy now and then. As the mother of two sons about Connor’s age, I can imagine those sleepless nights!
I enjoy reading Connor’s thoughts on the world, and viewing his adventures through words and photographs. He is very talented.
I guess if we don’t get to live out our dreams, the next best thing is watching our kids do it! We still have time, though dreams sometimes change.
My latest poetry is not on this blog. I created a separate poetry blog. Link button is on upper right corner of this site’s home page. Thanks for telling me about your old roommate. I will check out his work.
I don’t twitter either. Facebook and blogging are about the only technology I can handle! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

I did find the poetry website, and enjoyed the photo and the poem of the disc harrow. I’ve spent a bit of my life on a farm, but, thankfully, not that much, and I haven’t the felicity of style a poet needs. Plowing, in particular, is my idea of Hell, a job that is totally boring but requires constant attention.
Even so, the last time I did it, years before Connor was born, I noticed something that had slipped by me before. Even above the clattering of the diesel tractor, if you really listen for it, you can hear the clear still ringing of the steel plow slicing through the earth, just as its sound slices through all the other noise., the sort of voice a dragon might have. Listen a little harder and you can hear the shuffling slap of the earth folding on itself. It’s an ancient dialogue, this conversation between the earth and the plow, and it brings an odd connection to countless generations of other farmers who listened to the same sound, following a patient horse or a yoke of oxen, stepping in the new furrows.
I got about that far with my musings before the tractor headed for new territory, taking my furrow with it, and I had to turn back to business. I wonder, though, if the big corporate farmers on the plains, with their monster tractors and their air conditioned cabs, with GPS autopilots to keep them on course, occasionally turn of the stereo, open the back window and strain to hear that same sound.

You have as beautiful a flare with words as the photographs of the Shenandoah, or blue ridge or wherever those pics were taken. And speaking of Cats and Dogs. I’m a dawg man myself too, but the cats who rent me a room wont allow me to have one.
I rescued a pregnant cat 6 years ago, and now have close to 30 of them outside, and two who come in and out daily just to set the rules of the house. Much to my present dismay, I learned over those years that the local animal shelter is so full that you have to practically camp out in their parking lot to catch a day that they will take a cat off your hands.
The day I finally got that response from them, after showing up with one and having to take him back home because they were too full to take him, I learned that they had to euthanize from the day I first arrived with the first one, to be able to take any…So, Back home we came again…with the Cat.
After they told us the cat wouldn’t even get a week to hopefully steel a heart, or home before being put down, we just couldn’t do it.
Anyway, I love your poetry, and if you ever drop in check out my little poem simply called “Cats”
It’s short and sweet, as “Dumplin” the Sia-mix landlady of the house gave me explicit instructions on just how much information I was allowed to disclose.
God Bless You

It’s a cute poem. I call my sister the crazy cat lady…she has maybe five,not sure. I had three at one time, but now the dog rules the house. Although if she had her way she’d have a cat or another dog in here to play with.

a random series of clicks brought me to your blog and thank goodness because i’m enjoying it immensely! your ‘about’ page reminds me of an excerpt from rilke’s “letters to a young poet”:
“Go into yourself. Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depths of your heart; confess to yourself whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. This most of all: ask yourself in the most silent hour of your night: must I write? Dig into yourself for a deep answer. And if this answer rings out in assent, if you meet this solemn question with a strong, simple “I must”, then build your life in accordance with this necessity; your whole life, even into its humblest and most indifferent hour, must become a sign and witness to this impulse.”
(from Letter 1; full text of all 10 letters here: http://letterstoayoungpoet.com/)
i’m glad i happened onto your blog as it gave me a chance to reread one of my favorite writerly passages, which i think i’ll blog about next!
many thanks for your words.

Happy Thanksgiving Suzicate …. I just wanted you to know I have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award. I was blessed with this award recently and I wanted to pass along the thanks to you as well for your wonderful blog. Thank you for all you do. I think essentially what this award is is a pay it forward kind of award as I leave off with you a list of blogs who have been nominated and in turn you will hopefully check them out and make a list of your own and pass it on. This way we all get a chance to see blogs we might not otherwise have discovered. We are all in this together. Again my thanks for all you do…..Visionkeeper
For those receiving an award, there are a few rules (though no obligation whatsoever to follow):
Thank the giver and link back to the blogger who gave it to you.
Reveal your 5-15 top picks and let them know by leaving a comment on their blog.
Copy and paste the award on your blog.
Have faith that your followers will link to other bloggers.
And most of all – blog to your heart’s delight!
Liebster means beloved in German and Versatile speaks for itself. The goal of both these awards is to spotlight well deserving blogs so that others may also discover them.
Sharing our true selves is a wonderful thing…

While I am honored you think me worthy of this award, I no longer accept or pass on awards. I deleted my awards page well over a year ago as they take up so much time and focus off the sole reason I write, which is for the pure enjoyment of it. I enjoy all of the blogs I read and would have a difficult time choosing only a few. However, I do look forward to checking out this list of blogs. I thank you for your consideration and kindness. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well.

[...] At a big dinner table I often found it difficult to ask for the salt let alone voice my opinion. SuziCate is my guest today and she speaks to the crowded dinner tables during the month of December. I hope [...]

The Water Witches Daughter, I love that! As a child my father was a developer and the way he decided where he was going to put the well was by witching or dowsing for the water. I use to follow behind him with two rods, practicing the art. I can still dowse, but I tend to use a pendulum now.
I married a man who’s Uncle Walter was a world renowned dowser. His Uncle passed on a few months ago. You can use dowsing or witching for all sorts of things. Uncle Walter has written books on improving food and water quality along with health qualities through the process of dowsing. It is very interesting.
I really connected with your poem above.
Peace and Harmony

How interesting! It’s been a few years since I’ve tried my hand at dowsing, but I used to be able to do it with a forked branch or a wire rod, never tried a pendulum.
Thanks for the invite.

Wow your blog is so inspiring! I particularly like what you have written “I think perfection is overrated” and I entirely agree on this.
Do visit my blog for a quote on ‘perfection’.
Cheers!
