At a meal with friends--
Good food, good wine, and good talk...
What could be better?

A path in shadows
Can be extremely tricky...
Especially now.

Ice on the sidewalk
I move very carefully
Slipping and sliding

Ice covers the trees,
Hangs from the branches, glistens
Under the street lights.

Making a quiet space
Finding the right book to read
Being still, at peace.

On getting a copy of Mary Oliver's new book of poetry, A Thousand Mornings.  Here's one:


I Go Down To The Shore
 
I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall--
what should I do?  And the sea says
in its lovely voice:
Excuse me, I have work to do.

Afternoon, storm looms.
Wind bends the trees; windows shake.
At last, the rain comes.

Looking for patterns
In my work and in my life
Very hard to find
