Sage Advice

Stepping stones of life
Gratitude, forgiveness, love
Walk them mindfully.

Traveler

I am a tourist
Curious, hungry, wide-eyed
Tell me of your home.

Day’s End Peace

Pink sky at sunset
A blanket for my troubles
Softens the edges.

Answer

When the screech owl calls
Pay attention to his voice
His “who?” may be you…

Rewarded

When the words don’t come
I sit and wait…still…hoping
And then they arrive.

And—Action!

Life is a movie
Plots, subplots, popcorn, credits
Who’s directing yours?

Tucked In

Now I lay me down
Shrug the day off my shoulders
What’s not done can wait.

Little Teachers

Let the tiny bee
Show you what really matters
Hard work…and sweetness.

My Love

In rainfall we walked
Hand in hand, the trees watching
Patrick and I, pals.

Everywhere

When I look up, down
I see no end to love, none
I am surrounded.

Say Yes

The best things in life
Are the things we say “yes!” to
Again and again.

Raise a Glass

Beneath the raindrops
A thirsty earth says thank you
Autumn is still green.

Ahhh…

What relief feels like:
A long overdue exhale
Everything unclenched.

More Than Exercise

Walking the field paths
Gathering wisdom from grass
Lessons from the trees.

The Saving Grace of Little Things

Broaden your view, friends
There’s more to life than headlines
Ice cream, dry socks, Sting.

On the Way Home

A full-on drizzle
Blowing sideways, landing soft
The earth sips slowly.

Anticipation

Do not fear the dark
Or the winds that sweep the land
Change is coming…watch.

Evening Benediction

As the dust settles
At the end of a full day
I am so lucky.

Reminder

No matter what happens
You are precious, loved and dear
Please remember that.

Inevitable

I have a story
Knocking, asking to be told
It won’t go away.
