It’s the small things – birds
at the feeder, a wagging
tail when I come home,
shimmering light on the pond,
all these and so many more –
ground and comfort me.

Moving Along
Misty memories
of a much younger me
riding my first bike
with a bit of a wobble
and then later with no hands.

Home Delivery
There they sit, perched high
in the trees, eyes focused on
the porch rail below,
attentively waiting for
the arrival of bird seed.

A Lovely Reminder
Even on gray days
those morning glories proclaim
life is glorious.

Shared Space
The bright sun descends
for the day, making room
for the moon to have its say.

A Doe And Her Fawn
It was just those two
ambling across the damp yard
this cloudy morning,
pausing every now and then
to lower their heads and graze.

A Matter Of Focus
A mixture of song
and scolding greets me when
I’m late serving the birds
their morning meal.

Plan Anyway
Although our best laid plans
often do go astray,
at least we have
a point from which
revisioning can begin.

My Daughter-in-law Takes Up the Gavel
Getting a chance to
witness both the unity
and diversity
at the instillation of
new leadership gives me hope.

Meeting Of The Board
I woke up and heard
the cats discussing how hard
it is to manage
humans. Knox stood at the door,
tail wagging in agreement.
