Shortening the time

between harumph and mmm-hmm

shortens suffering.

Sweet afternoon nap –

the perfect dessert after

a full-course morning.

                                                             JDG

New light glistens on

ancient tree infusing it

with fresh mystery.

                                                               JDG

Didn’t want to strive

or fuss but just to smile,

breathe and exercise.

                                                   JDG

For now it’s just me

and shimmering morning light.

Words will come later.

                                                                       JDG

I exercised in

silence today except for

my own mind’s chatter.

                                                                 JDG

In so many ways

the earth says “I love you”. 

May we love her back.
