Morning Greeting?

Oct21

Knox and the ladies line up by my bed

sighing deeply at my selfishness.

Here they are starving as I try

to catch a few more winks

of much needed sleep.

After The Rain

Oct14

The vast sky holds

streaks of pink

and clouds of gray.

What you see depends

 on where you look.

Just Asking

Oct11

Which do you think

will have the best, overall results:

taking ourselves in hand

or taking ourselves 

by the hand?

The Reach

Oct7

Trees, in their search for light,

 reach across the divide

and create a space 

of overarching beauty.

May we do so too.

Layers

Oct5

Layers of thoughts,

layers of feelings

obstruct my view.

Need a love cloth

to dust my soul.

Breathing Space

Oct2

Saturday’s gentle rain

quiets an overactive mind, 

releases tensions tied to busyness,

gives even the obstreperous squirrels

a chance to rest.

Settling In

Sep22

Lounging on the couch,

nodding dog on one side.

 purring cat on the other –

wordless companions.

evening peace.

Knowings

Sep21

I think I know,

but until I know

with my whole being,

body, heart, mind, and spirit,

I don’t fully know.

Cool Reassurance

Sep19

Even though temperatures

are forecast to rise,

the gentle fall of leaves today

assures us Autumn 

will have the final say.

A Moving Journey

Sep5

The dull roar of cars –

going somewhere,

going fast.

What if what we’re looking for

can be found within?
