Yesterday I took a day off
because I wanted to not do.
Today I began again
because I wanted to.
No need to justify or defy –
just breathe, choose, abide
and, when needed, rectify.

Fine Raiment
I wrap myself in
burnished hues of gold and bronze –
Fall’s comforting cloth.
Sun And Sky Speak
On the horizon
an orange tinged sky proclaims,
“Let the witches take
a furtive flight so they can
be ready Halloween night!”

Day 81 – Perhaps Someday
Someday the reward
may be in the doing,
but for now it’s in having done.

Here And There
Mostly I’m in the world and out of it.
Every now and
then, all of
me is
here.

Day 80 – Hanging In There
Am I having fun?
That’s a stretch too far, but
I’m hanging in
and that’s good enough for me.

Day 79 Lapse and Recovery
Yesterday I was in a fog
and let my exercises go,
but today I doubled down
and doubled up and so
I had a harder row to hoe.

Full And Unlimited Time
Unlimited time
awaits us, as Thich Nhat Hanh’s
friend Allen shared.
We just have to quit dividing time
into ours and theirs.

Upon Reading The Daily News
I cast my eyes to
the sky and plaintively ask,
“What were you thinking
when you created us?”

In Storm’s Wake
Today we spent a moment
with the fallen limbs of trees,
thanking them for all the shade
and beauty they have given
before taking them
to a final place of rest.
