Sunny day, slow start –
let’s treasure this moment of
peaceful Spring pleasure
and leave our predictions of
dark clouds and hurry behind.

I remember myself,
as a kid, feeling bored and restless
when there was nothing to do.
Now, at seventy nine,
I feel grateful and content
when there’s nothing to do.

The seeds of knowing
lie within. Let’s attend to them
and watch them grow.

Sometimes I ache.
It’s part of being me.
Doesn’t everyone?
Sometimes I fear
that which I can not control.
Doesn’t everyone?
Sometimes my pain and fear
drive me to unwise actions.
Doesn’t everyone’s?
Sometimes I regret
the consequences of those acts.
Doesn’t everyone?
Sometimes I hope
I can be a better soul.
Doesn’t everyone?
Sometimes I pray
for a divine guiding hand.
Doesn’t everyone?
Sometimes I love.
Doesn’t everyone?
Doesn’t everyone?
The evergreen in
me delights in spring’s return
with its young and tender green.

the suet cage, the crows found,
much to their dismay,
they couldn’t grab the whole cake
and go on their merry way.

Looking out my window,
warmed by the sight of the sun
filtering through the trees,
leaving patterns of light and shadow
on the grass below.
JDG
I pause my efforts,
notice my breath, feel my heart.
There’s no need to rush,
no need to push. It’s time now
to stop trying and allow.

Raven nodded his
approval as he surveyed
the feast laid before
him, though he would have preferred
no interfering squirrels.
