Poetry Post: Untitled poem – No. 28
Hi friends. Today I want to share a simple poem I wrote about a month or so ago. I have not titled it, and I think I’ll keep it that way; I feel in this particular instance that this allows more room for the reader to feel the words of the piece and to flow […]

Sitting with Me
I find myself at a loss for words today. I’m sitting by a lake, the gentle waves lapping up onto the shore. Every now and then a bird sings. The dog is keeping busy exploring the shoreline, jumping in and out of the water unpredictably. The warm aroma of hot coffee reaches me from the […]

Little Footprints
Monday morning has arrived. I am doing the usual things… drinking my coffee, letting the dog out, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. A tree is being taken down in our front yard today, so I went out to greet those guys and pay the bill. It feels like nothing is different; it’s just the […]

Quiet Moments
It’s Monday evening. I’m sitting on our back deck with my feet up, laptop resting on my legs, and our dog wandering aimlessly around the yard. The sun is shining, and some birds are singing. It’s a quiet evening. In the calm of this moment, gratitude rises within me. Not everything about today was easy, […]
