Off in the distance

a train whistle blows. Some folks

are coming, some are

going, but even if they’re 

asleep, they are on the move.

I was told off by

a bird this morning because

I had neglected

to put out seed. Once he had

his say he left in a huff.

JDG

I

It seems the sun has

gone undercover as it

quietly observes

 the ocean make contact with 

its shifty cohort, the shore.

JDG

That raven made it 

absolutely clear. He has

a right to free speech

and he is more than willing

to fully exercise it.

JDG

As the deer slowly

make their way across the lawn

lowering their heads

to snatch a morsel or two

of grass, the sun stokes their backs..

JDG

On these few acres

the wild and the tamed find

 sanctuary and,

for the most part, are able

to live together in peace.

JDG

I tried to follow

that ancient wisdom and when

the rain paused, I took

Knox for a walk but sadly 

he dallied and we got wet.

JDG

Hope joined with action

is what makes a difference.

In good times and bad,

things are more likely to be

successful when we have both.

JDG

I think he wants to

join us inside as he keeps

coming to the door..

After all, it is drizzling

outside and pretty hot too.

JDG

Misty memories

of a much younger me

riding my first bike

with a bit of a wobble

and then later with no hands.
