Long neglected chores
finally done – what lingers
is satisfaction
joined with perplexion – why on
earth did it take me so long?

Sidelined
When the body calls time out
and we’re sidelined for a while, we have
a chance to review
the game we’ve been playing
and change either the game or our tactics.

PIC OF THE DAY #1 ~ OPTIMISM
Enough
Enough is never enough when the hole
we’re trying to
fill can’t be
filled with
stuff.

Nonviolent Communication
Sometimes you have to
sit down to stand up for what’s
right as John Lewis knows.

Volunteers At The Ready
Roadside volunteers –
bachelor buttons,
daisies,
black-eyed Susans,
Queens Anne’s lace –
line the highway
ready to assist.
Whether standing motionless
or swaying in the breeze,
their uncultivated beauty
brings a smile and some ease.

Just Curious
Is it the nature
of eye glasses and car keys
to pick the very
worst moment to play hide and
seek and force us to join in?
JDG
Morning Request
Morning dew winks, asks
me to set aside other
doings and just look.

Light Enough
After the sun sets,
there’s still light enough to see –
a softer and far
gentler light that helps us
prepare for the coming night.

Addition Problem
You ask me to solve for the answer
to the problem of xplus y.
What do you mean the answer?
There is no the answer.
It’s just an illusion of permanence.
By the time I measure y
the x has already changed.
It’s like trying to measure a shadow
cast against a sun lit field
on a day when cumulus puffs float
across a Caspian sky.
Don’t ask me to give you the answer.
when there are millions of answers
and no answer at all,
simultaneously, always.
Don’t ask me to cling to a now that is fleeting;
ask me to embrace the movement.
