A tiny cricket
came calling today, perhaps
to complain about
the changing weather, maybe
to ask us to do better.

The Hallow-Cane by Janie Wilson
Intersection
A bit of blue peeks through
a sky covered
with slow-moving clouds
of dingy white and gray.
I catch a glimpse
of what lies beyond,
a constancy
that will see me through.

A Natural Nudge
Caught in an inner storm,
I almost didn’t see
the sun’s scattering of gold
among the swaying trees –
nature’s shimmering reminder
that there’s more to life than me.

In That Space
Catherine Arcolio’s blog, leafandtwig.wordpress.com,
joins image and word in a beautiful and often profound way. It is always a source of pleasure.
After the Crash
Today’s reminder-
give thanks for ordinary
things we may take for granted

Work
More wisdom from Mitch…
The work week has just begun (oy!).
A few thoughts on work:
“People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.” ~Thomas Sowell
If you want to kill any idea in the world, get a committee working on it. ~Charles Kettering
The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office. ~Robert Frost
It’s easy to make a buck. It’s a lot tougher to make a difference. ~Tom Brokaw
Make a difference.
Verb or Noun?
Some things can be both a verb and a noun (fish, call, ride). But I only know of one thing that must be a verb before it can be a noun: Love
Yesterday was World Refugee Day, by the way. A perfect time to be practicing the verb. Here’s a good place to start: World Relief.
Happy Earth Day!
I wanted to share with you Mitch Teemley’s Earth Day thought.
Here’s a thought:
This year for Earth Day,
instead of giving our planet a Present
Let’s give it a Future
Happy is…
I loved this poem by Dennis Ference and I think you will too.
Happy is the goose
that does not waste its days
trying to be a duck.© 2015 Dennis Ference
