Day 162 – Fortuitous Delay

The delayed school day

was an opportunity

for me to work out.

Both the kids and I give thanks

for a more leisurely start.

I Listen And Learn

Each time the rain stops,

the birds fill the air with song.

I listen and learn.

Let the rain have its full beat

and, in time, I’ll have mine too.

Day 161 – Finding What Works

Each of us must find

a way that works for us.

Stange as it may seem,

writing a poem each time 

I do my exercise

holds me to the task.

Day 160 – Slowly I Learn

Good lesson for life

in this daily exercise –

bend and stretch, bend and stretch, bend…

Teachings Of Trees

In this sparse season

leafless trees stand, limbs outstretched,

rooted and waiting.

What was has fallen away.

What will be has not yet come.

Mini Hibernation

Waking from a nap,

 rainy winter afternoon – 

warm satisfaction
