Focusing on our breath

helps us  know

that wherever we are,

wherever we go,

we’re already home.

Some strands of the past

blend and some clash

when woven into garments

fit for the present

or the future.

There’s a time to fly

and a time to dig in, 

but first

you have to decide

to begin.

Rabbits don’t share my pleasure

that, after several weeks of rain,

my overgrown lawn which serves

as their playground, finally

got mowed before the next rain.

JDG

We must be careful 

what seeds of emotion we water

as we tend to the garden of our hearts.

JDG

When the rain begins,

Knox looks up,

and shakes his head

as if to say,

“I thought I told you

to stay away.”

JDG

Each of their lives

is purpose driven.

One is determined to win

 no matter the cost. 

The other weighed the cost  

and did what mattered.
