Pink streaked morning sky,
golden glow of rising sun,
pungent smell of skunk.

A voice cried out but
no one heard, lost as they were
in their own concerns
Over time the voice grew still
and they wondered what went wrong.

(a guest post by Janie Wilson)
We are just two women
trying to find our way
One old
One young
Together sometimes
Not always
Perfect sometimes
Not always
But love surrounds us
Not sometimes
But always
-Janie Wilson
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.

Just when we think we’ve
figured things out, life throws us
another riddle.

Rain drops fall
leaving tiny circles
on the porch
where the birds come,
even in the rain,
for their morning feast.

When surrounded by
so many voices, it’s
hard to hear our own.

Knox scoffs at the thought
that I trained him when it’s clear
he’s still training me.

A congress of birds
met on the porch concerning
the distribution
of seeds, but stayed divided
even when the squirrels appeared.

So happy to have
this “three bear” kind of day –
not too hot, not too cold,
a day that feels just right .
