Birds I feed

And here's my wish for you today:

that you will look, and watch, and watching, see

the simple pleasures that await

when we take time to look, and watch, and see.

Soon It Will Begin

    

         Spring will soon be here! The beginning of all that is new. And the sweet sound of birds to sing for us too!

Just Being

I think of how comfortable it is to slow down in winter, to concentrate on the infinite pleasures of just being in the world — not doing, not resolving, not producing, not winning, not succeeding — just being.

Winter's Cycle

A day of ebb and flow

melting and freezing a continuous cycle.

It could be when the sun shines brightly -

when water reflects sun.

The Blessing of Welcome

Such a blessing -- every morning,

                          some new combination of shapes and colors

                                    to welcome us into the new day.

Tis a Gift to be Simple

          

We get caught up in the drama of our lives

                      and forget, sometimes, how small a speck we are

against the vast expanse of interstellar space,

and even more, forget how precious 

every other speck might also be...
