A boy is Truth with dirt on its face,

Channeling Phil Connors on Groundhog Day
Wanted to share this wonderful Groundhog Day post from LuAnne.

In Her Own Words
Because my words are too feeble to fully celebrate the life and work of Mary Oliver, I will use her own words from her poem,” Prayer”. May you dance on, Mary.
PRAYER
May I never not be frisky,
May I never not be risqué.
May my ashes, when you have them, friend,
and give them to the ocean,
leap in the froth of the waves,
still loving movement,
still ready, beyond all else,
to dance for the world.

What do you plan to plant this year?

A Cameo Appearance
Blue sky, white ground –
wistful preview
of winter’s best.

More Than Enough
Just as too much light
on rain-soaked roads can make it
hard to see, too much
thought can divert heart’s mission
as we walk grief’s sodden path.

The Tumultuous Life Of Trees
Just last week they were
decked out in golden garb,
but now their bare limbs
shiver as fall fades into
the cold and dark of winter.
