“Who cares?” she asked in
a show of indifference,
but beneath the snark,
“Who cares?” was the hard question
she didn’t know how to ask.

A Timely Gift
I drive to work wrapped
in silence, savoring
the sweet gift of solitude –
a steadying start to
an up-for-grabs kind of day.

Invited By A Dream
Last night’s dream invites
me to take a closer look.
Things, it seems, are not
harmonious within.
What will it take,
the dream not so subtlely asks,
for you to facilitate, but not control?

Habits Of Mind
I interrupted
my mind today
as it set forth
on a well-trod path.
“Nope,” I said,
“let’s not go there.
Let’s try this
gentler path instead.”

The Perfect Day
In just a few days
I would have been far from home
on the interstate
when my car conked out. Today
though, I was close to
help and home, and in an odd
stroke of luck, my day
was largely free. If something
had to go wrong, this
was the perfect day. With that
thought I grin. Thanks, Universe.

Total Immersion
Eighty three degrees
February
Sun disappears
Sudden downpour
Sun returns –
A non-elective course
In uncertainty

Recalibration
Belly-shaking laughter loosens mind’s tight
grip and lightens
our earnest,
heavy
souls.

Border Crossing
No words were needed.
Amidst the tears a look was
exchanged, a smile
was shared, and for a moment
their quite different worlds were joined.

Momentary Disturbance
The only thing disturbing the peace of
this moment – the
chattering
of my
mind.
