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.

A Change of Melody

That blue jay calls me away

from reverie and toward

his full-throated song –

a reminder not to lose myself

 in thought, but to find myself

in what is right before me.

Day 31, Labor Day

I wish I could say

exercise has become

a labor of love…

maybe someday.

Then And Now

There was a time when

the day grew dark and the wind

whipped through the trees, but

that time is not this

time, though the memory comes

slipping in. I won’t 

let it coil around me,

hissing its dark tales,

blinding me to today’s light

and softly swaying 

trees. Instead, I’ll allow it

to join me right here

as I lift my arms in thanks

for shifting times and weather.
