Beyond Rebuttal

If we’re willing to

listen with a curious

and compassionate

heart, we may realize there’s more

to the story than we thought.

Claiming Air Time

That line of geese filled the sky with non-stop

commentary

on their long

flight back

home.

These Little Lights Of Ours

The light of truth still

flickers. If enough of us

light our candles from 

that source, we’ll light up the world

and darkness will not prevail.

An Embodied Truth

As anyone who

has had gallstones knows, our bile

can turn against us.

Priceless

In life’s ledger book,

what value can be placed on

an afternoon spent with friends?

Wowed

A bargain lover’s dream –

 to pay so little

and receive so much.

Making Connections

I had to chuckle

when I asked the little girl

within what she

wanted and she said, “Tention”.

I heard “tension”, then 

realized she meant “attention”.

Oh what folly for me to

equate the two when

relaxed engagement is what she seeks.
