Soon Knox will go

for his two weeks board and train

where he’ll learn all

I haven’t been able to teach him.

My grandkids say they’re going to

sign me up for a two weeks board and train

where I’ll learn all

they haven’t been able to teach me.

Why assume

we know the intentions 

of others when

we’re often unclear

about our own?

JDG

The satisfaction

of simply sitting

slowly seeps

into my being

surprising me

with unexpected,

grounded peace.

Sensing I was down,

Knox brought me his rubber toys 

one by one as if to say,

“If you’re going to mope around,

let me give you something fun to chew on.”

JDG

Same sun

but 

somehow different

 after the storm –

now it’s so

golden and bright.
