Knowing that the storyteller within

weaves all kinds of tales,

we can listen 

with interest without

getting caught in the web.

Against a blue sky

Cardinals sit perched

on a white blossomed tree

bidding farewell to February,

welcoming the approach of Spring.

                                                     JDG

Though storms

may be on the horizon,

they’re not here now.

Let’s relish this moment

and hold space for the next.

                                              JDG

The sun, it seemed,

gave me a wink.

“Don’t let this day’s cold

get you down.

It’s winter’s last hurrah.”

                                           JDG

So often 

we look outside

when what we’re looking for

goes unnoticed

within.

                                         JDG

How different 

it feels 

to be present

without

an agenda.

                    JDG

Learning

to be patient 

with my own impatience,

moment by

 excruciating moment.
