what if we looked at one another with peace
and with friendship
and with gratitude
and with empathy
and with kindness
what would the world look like then?
What if

Good Day
the smell of the barn
the rakes on the wall
the bees in the grass
and the dogs in the field
made for a good day
Excerpt
“There’s just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we’ve ever imagined…”
from The Hours by Michael Cunningham
Thoughts on a Walk
when i take walks i think about what i’ll make for dinner and what i forgot to do this afternoon and why she made that off-handed comment and why do people insist that green grass is better than grass with wild clover and when did the clematis get so big and where did the egret go and why is the pup limping slightly and what time will i leave on thursday morning and what in the world will i make for dinner today…
Temporary
everything is temporary
The Roses
even the roses were tired
What I’ll miss
we are moving away from the river and my thoughts slip sideways into the things i’ll miss–the marsh, the herons, the geese, the egret
Lost and Found
it is possible to be both lost and found at the same time
Memories
collecting memories–
those tiny moments, each so distinct and uniquely faceted, made all the more lovely with the passing of time
Change
we must try, so very earnestly,
to make friends with change
