In a Moment

Kindness ~ 

as easy as a breath, 

as simple as a smile

graces any life 

in a moment.

“How do we change the world? 

One random act of kindness at a time.”

~ Morgan Freeman

Space Dust

Dust of the universe, we humans are, with lives full of 

meaning from the vantage of our homes; feet up on a stool, 

perhaps jogging down the sidewalk, or dancing like a 

child, where our universe is 

home with families and friends

        and, for some,

as many tissues as there are stars.

“We are nothing but space dust, 

trying to find its way back to the stars.”

~ David Jones, Love and Space Dust

Welcome Relief

This is the best kind of relief. 

To breath deeply of cool, fresh air. 

To walk slowly on forgotten summer 

sidewalks laminated with snow, 

savouring each step. Pausing to raise 

my eyes to see through arching 

barren branches to the crystal blue sky. 

This is the best kind of relief.

“This is the best kind of love, I thought,

without recompense, without gifts, 

or unkind words, without suspicion,

or silence on the telephone.”

~  Billy Collins, Aimless Love
