It seems that there are so many fresh thoughts and ideas coming into my head; So much new information: News items, results of studies and research… Yet the things that are solid enough to put on paper – or computer – seem old and stale. The new things are like trying to catch clouds OrContinue reading “Writer’s Block”

WHEN RAIN COMES
Sometimes rain comes softly, With a subtle touch and light step, She arrives in the dark of night. The signs of her visit Are fragrant, crystalline jewels That sparkle in the morning light. Then there are sudden times, When Thunder and Lightning join her Accompanied by mighty wind. Great chaos and drama Send creatures runningContinue reading “WHEN RAIN COMES”
ONE OLD THING
Put one old thing away; Look for one thing new; Lay down one old lie To pick up something true. Then when you finish sorting; When all is neat and clean; Begin to gather treasures; Start again to dream. Relief from one old pain; One fond memory shared; One friend remembered; Delighted that youContinue reading “ONE OLD THING”
SCHOOL DAYS
The kids in my town had to go back to school this week. For some, this is the beginning of a 13-year journey, since kindergarten is required here; for others, this is the last stop before college or work…or whatever will come after high school. Do you remember your school days? The fashions (orContinue reading “SCHOOL DAYS”
ENCOUNTER
I saw a heart today, Its love poured out in passion; It’s melody was sweet And played in quiet fashion. I touched a color today, Its warmth and beauty flowing; Its fragrance like the sun; Twas like a flower growing. I heard a birth today, Like deafening silence crying; It sang in harmony, Crescendoing andContinue reading “ENCOUNTER”
NEW DAY; FRESH EXPECTATIONS

I set fresh expectationts And try a different way To view the world and live; Express new hope and dreams; For the old thing I thought Is not quite like it seems. I’ll sort through the stones Of yesterday; Some I will gladly treasure; Others I’llContinue reading “NEW DAY; FRESH EXPECTATIONS”

These jobs are paid positions often in public interest fields, such as education, the environment, health, the government sector, social services, and other nonprofits.” -Wikipedia As Baby Boomers entered their late 50’s orContinue reading “AUTHENTICITY”
FEBRUARY
Freezing temperatures Eventually warm, Bringing new life and Relief from the fury of All winter storms; Reviving the land Yet sleeping under winter’s spell.
SATURDAY
Saturday, Time for rest and preparation; A day to work and play; To get ready for the celebration. Saturday, Time for making breads, cake and pie; A day to watch and pray; To anticipate as Sunday draws nigh. Saturday, A time that has changed through the years; A day to shop and pay; To watchContinue reading “SATURDAY”
A COZY EVENING
I stand on the porch while my dog checks out the yard. It’s chilly; there is a bit of rain, more dripping than falling. The smell of wood smoke fills the air; it’s the first since cold weather ended last spring. It smells delicious. The warmth of my home feels especially good when Galahad andContinue reading “A COZY EVENING”
