Several strange synchronicities suggest
there’s a hidden
hand at work
behind
the
scene,
one that’s
willing to
help those who are
obviously oblivious like me.

Though We Rail
Constraints have value.
Without them we’d easily
drift – get lost in space.

Not Only Wise But Savvy
In fifteen minutes she’d reformatted and sent
the spread sheet of guests
her daughter had asked her to send
when she learned
she couldn’t open the original.
How lucky this daughter was
that at ninety years old
her mom was computer savvy
and luckier still, she said
in her birthday toast,
to have been raised by a mom
who always loved learning
and was living and loving and learning still.

In The Flow
No phone, no computer, no t.v. –
just the task at hand and me.
Time passed fast though I worked slow.
I didn’t see the hours go
when suddenly the day was gone
and slowly it began to dawn
though disconnected and uninformed
I felt as though I’d been reborn.

Respite
No problems tug at
my mind, no worries trouble
my heart, but I know,
given half a chance, my mind
will begin stirring stuff up.
JDG
Whoa!
Knowing where that thought
will take me, I pause, breathe, and
carefully dismount.

Taming Of The Wild
Black-eyed Susans
Buttercups
Bachelor Buttons
Queen Anne’s Lace
Each year their untamed beauty
tames my wild heart.
