When all is said

and nothing’s done

and all the air is

sucked out of the room,

open the door

and take a walk.

Let the sun caress

your shoulders.

Let the breeze 

ruffle your hair.

The world is bigger

than that room.

Rain drops fall

leaving tiny circles

on the porch

where the birds come,

even in the rain,

for their morning feast.

JDG

When surrounded by

so many voices, it’s

 hard to hear our own.

JDG

So happy to have

this “three bear” kind of day –

not too hot, not too cold,

a day that feels just right .

Knox and I walked, not in the snow,

but by the lingering light 

of snow moon as it brought

the magic of heaven to earth.

JDG

Almost every day

begins the same way with Knox,

the cats, and birds making

their needs clear.

In meeting their needs,

my need is also met.

JDG

I

What will come knocking

on the door of my heart today?

I don’t want to be off somewhere

wandering streets of worry.

I want to be home.

I want to open the door.
