Dogs frolic
at the dog park
as owners
discuss disturbing
Washington news.

Clear minds,
warm hearts,
steady hands
hold us together
when things fall apart.

In one day,
hope and despair,
acceptance and denial,
dignity and dishonor,
courage and cowardice,
inspiration and incitement,
order and anarchy
all on full display.

Fog hugged fields and roads
this morning – a natural
invitation to slow down.

One day it’s sixty,
the next day, thirty degrees.
Even the trees are confused.

Every day
I am reminded
there’s more work to be done
regarding how and when
to hold my tongue.

Knox said the heavens spoke
and warmly suggested
we head to the dog park.
When I demurred, he said
it was never a good idea
to argue with the heavens.
Reluctantly I agreed
and off we went for him to play
until completely spent
which, indeed, was heaven sent.

A gray beginning
this day, but moon-lit night tells
a different story.

Unexpectedly,
with no deliberation,
a belly-centered
peace visited me today.
I invited it to stay.

Full moon glistens
on ice covered pond –
night’s departing benediction.
