In this web we weave,
however small,
we make our home –
anxious or restful,
large or small.

Bunny in the grass.
Dog on the road.
Dog in the grass
Bunny takes off.

Sunshine and birdsong
invite me to pause and greet them
with a soft and open heart,
grateful for this moment
and so many others.

You can’t mow us down,
lawnmowers, we buttercups
and dandelions
will forever bring a touch
of wildness to your tidy lawn.

As I grow older
I increasingly cherish
a slower pace which
allows me to savor moments
of unexpected wonder and grace
like the time that male cardinal
picked up a seed and delicately fed his mate.

I always let my
sleeping dog lie, but he won’t
return the favor.

Laughter loosens knots
we didn’t even know we had.
A smile lifts much more
than facial muscles.
Laughter and smiles
connect us to each other.

It shouldn’t take long
to walk to the mailbox, but
oh, there are so many
buttercups along the way,
not to mention those renegade calves.
JDG
Effort can take us far,
but sometimes
pausing can take us further.

Two calves with s sense of adventure
escaped from their pasture
and showed up at my side porch.
They lingered a while, but
soon moved on as birdseed
was not to their liking.
