Gratitude Ruba'i
I'm grateful for the gifts I get
And the moments I won't forget.
I'm grateful that I've got this life,
Full of joy, surprise and regret.
Bad moments may seem to be rife;
I'm grateful for this endless strife.
Although sometimes I feel upset,
I'm grateful that I've got this life.

Thank You
In loving me,
you've helped to sand down
my roughest edges.

Gratitude Choka
alone in my house,
with your undelivered mail,
I hear the washing-machine
clean the clothes you left;
the dust gathers in your room
along with the silences
and the absent fire
lets in the winter's chill,
but I think of you and smile.

A talk with Dad about his cancer
I put my trust in the pilot,
the man in the cockpit
to get me home.
With closed eyes he adds,
I can live with that.

as dew on frond returns growth;

Heartbeats
Breath.
Running;
Running aches.
A simple act.
Free.
Breath.
Shores cleft
By wild seas;
A shell breaks loose.
Free.
Breath.
Winter -
Tea cooling.
Some steam escapes.
Free.
Breath.
A sun
Setting low,
Unveiling stars.
Free.
Breath.
Two eyes
Joining mine.
Two hands in mine.
Free.

Warmth- Gratitude
My horse whinnies when he sees me- he has a thin coating of snow on his back already and he's pacing, blowing steam. He's cold. Sherlock snuffles his warm breath and icy whiskers at my hands looking for the mint, and takes it. I throw the blanket over his back, unfolding it, searching for the snaps of the front. I clip those just before another horse comes looking for treats and Sherlock bites him and drives him off. The blanket slides but the front is closed and it doesn't fall too badly. "Whoa!" And he stands while I straighten the blanket, crouch to reach under him for the flapping belly straps that he sometimes kicks at, but not today. "Whoa, stand there, stand, good boy," I chant softly. I grab the swinging strap, twist the T into its matching U to hold it firm, grab the other, twist it in, and stand back, rubbing my hands. Sherlock reaches back, feeling for me with his lips as he can't see me where I am, and I get another mint from my pocket, feel the lips take it, and enjoy the

She stands
statuesque,
straight in sobriety--
no longer a child, I'm still

Old Mule is lucky,
He has Herself and the Cats.
He's lived a long life,
With some degree of success,
Removed from danger and strife.

Love Your Life
Week 1
On Halloween we took our toddler son to the zoo. They had balloon animals, costumed characters to interact with, live music, and some light trick-or-treating. It was getting really cold so we started walking back toward the entrance. On a lark we sidetracked to watch a black-lit percussion performance reminiscent of STOMP. As they were wrapping up their last number I realized that one of the performers was in costume as
Ruby Rhod
from the movie
The Fifth Element
. I laughed hard and shouted out to him that he'd just made my week. Best costume of the night!
The night after Halloween we stopped by the local pizza shop for dinner. Getting out of the car in a dark back lot we were greeted by the sound of a few crickets softly chirping in the weeds. Summer is my favorite season and crickets
