The Two Of Us – Day 36

Today I do not want to exercise

or do anything else I know needs doing.

My two-year old self is screaming, “No”.

I sit quietly with her as she has her full say.

Finally she looks up and hesitantly says,”Yes?”

and so, together, we begin.

Other Than Death And Taxes

From one moment to

the next, the world will change in

ways sometimes large and

sometimes small. What is certain

is the constancy of change.

Spacious Embrace

Complexity in morning light – dark clouds

 white clouds, sunshine

and shade, clear

views and

haze.

Earth

 holds each

 particle

and piece. In her

spacious embrace there’s room enough for all.

Building Code

To build large we must start small and persist

tiny bit by

tiny bit

’til we’re

done.

It 

also

helps if we

remember to

keep hearts’ doors ajar for joy to enter.

May I Have This Dance?

Morning light dancing

beneath sun-struck trees

on a day not warm

and not yet cold – the promise

of autumn is in the air.

And So It Grows – Day 32

A tiny add-on

today to strengthen muscles

in my legs, but it’s

ok – or at least not bad,

as such exercise plans go.
