Soul Music

One of the many blossoming trees lining our streets.

Tiny steps into the daunting task of the surround of sparkles waiting to be discovered, waiting to be transformed or disposed of gently and with gratitude.

Tiny steps ~ like sweeping the patio of delicate pink ‘snow’ shaken by the wind from tree-blossoms faded and ready for flight, or the replanting of narcissus bulbs laid bare by a most mischievous squirrel.

Tiny steps - like changing

a lovely lamp’s light socket 

but struggling to put it back together ~

a discordant note in the music of piecing 

together beauty and light in my home.

“I long to accomplish a great and noble task; but it is my chief duty 

to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble.”

~ Helen Keller
