Every day the sun rises.

Every day the sun sets.

Sometimes we see it.

Sometimes we don’t.

But it is there,

rising and setting each day –

a constant in an uncertain world.

Little by little

my no-saying inner two year old

is learning to say yes.

It’s only taken 78 years.

(a guest post by Janie Wilson)

We are just two women

trying to find our way

One old

One young

Together sometimes

Not always

Perfect sometimes

Not always

But love surrounds us

Not sometimes

But always

-Janie Wilson

When all is said

and nothing’s done

and all the air is

sucked out of the room,

open the door

and take a walk.

Let the sun caress

your shoulders.

Let the breeze 

ruffle your hair.

The world is bigger

than that room.

Rain drops fall

leaving tiny circles

on the porch

where the birds come,

even in the rain,

for their morning feast.

JDG

When surrounded by

so many voices, it’s

 hard to hear our own.
