We all have moments of drama and peace,
we who inhabit this small bit of land
each of us calls home.
The sun rises and sets.
The moon waxes and wanes.
Flowers bud and bloom.
Leaves and petals fall.
And you, beloved land, have room for us all.

If you’re trying to
thread a needle, a narrow

Critical Moment
It seems the squirrels
are feeling the heat so they
lay down to rest and eat.
Disturbed by such a show of sloth,
crows protest, clamor and caw,
but woodpeckers simply call it a draw.

United We Stand
John Lewis – a man of
conscience, conviction, and courage.
May we carry his legacy forward and vote
to “redeem the soul of America”.

Opening Notes
Doing the same small tasks each morning can
help us chase the
blues in a
rhythmic
way.

Stirring Fact
We can stir up a lot of dust if we
move too fast as
gravel road
drivers
know.
