A Weight Too Heavy?

Even trees can carry only so much

before they break.

Why would we

think we

are

not

also

subject to

nature’s laws? Is

it time our visions of dominion broke?

Operatics

One part of me resists.

Another insists.

Back and forth –

Push, Pull.

No, Yes.

Stop, Go.

“Yes. No. Fast. Slow. 

Yes. No. Way to go.” –

an awkward harmony at best,

but better sung than spoken.

Day 127 – Rhythm Not Blues

It’s been a few days

 since I did my chair workout,

but I’m back now, slippin’ and slidin’,

no shuckin’ and  jivin’.

That Coveted Gap

Between the great winding down and the slow

revving up, a

napping space

awaits.

I

can’t

help but

yearn to join

our dogs who spend

 inordinate amounts of time plopped there.

A Purr-fect Holiday

Amidst the hurry and flurry

and much ado, 

Murphy, our kitten,

paused to purr. Perhaps

we could take this as a cue

to pause and ponder and purr too.

Elemental Art

Ever-expanding

raindrops dot the pond – nature’s

pointillistic piece.

Fine Dining

Lunch with an old friend.

Feasting on conversation,

we almost forgot to eat.
