Horse Sense

fullsizerender-6

My intent is not to forge a path through

this field high and

overgrown.

Rather,

I’ll 

pause

and  take

in all the

nourishment that’s

present now and has been set before me.

Wondering Why

If there’s anything to synchronicity,

I just have to ask

why that praying mantis

came right then,

 perched himself on  my side-view mirror

and looked at  me with 

what I swear was a great big grin.

Peace

The peace of early

morning – may its soft current

flow throughout the day.

~

The peace may still be

there, but I am not aware.

 As I settled in

both the kids and dogs awoke

and replaced the flow with din.

State of Being

 

Transition is the only constant.

Chaucer was right:

“Tide  and time wait for no man,”

or woman or anything else.

While we’re alive,

if we have a

choice,

it only lies

in our attitude.

Moment by moment

how do we choose to go

with time’s ceaseless flow?

Findings

Some things can’t be found

by looking. They like to sneak

up on us,  and when

we’re least aware, startle us

into puddles of pure joy.

Speed Learning

When his job was done

 calling forth the sun,

that wry rooster moved roadside 

to manage traffic flow.

It didn’t take him long to learn

 the sun was easier to control.
