Talking is a journey
with friends through
yesterdays
onto future dreams
Never orderly but burbling over pebbles of moments
with a good wade through
shallow waters of today.
“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…
It has no survival value; rather it is one of
those things which give value to survival.”
~ C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
Cool evening
Sky still aglow
Children playing
in the school yard
Teenagers tossing a
frisbee in a parking lot
Two women walking
their tiny dogs a block away
A small evergreen showing off
little brown cones that will be seed.
Cool evening
Sky still aglow
“Treasure comes in many forms.”
~ S.A.Rodriguez, Treasure Tracks
I hope you felt kindness today
A salesman accepted the item I had not used. Rewrapped he could have denied it.
I hope you heard wonder today
The clerk told me she loved my hair ~ how the white has framed your face."
I hope you gave back today
At the bus stop, I helped a stranger make a phone call
No strings attached.
I hope you felt the sun today
Between the rain clouds the sun shone with warmth and comfort. No rain fell while I walked.
I hope only goodness for you today
It may be only one bright spot
A smile, a kindness, a cup of tea
Your goodness deserves it.
“But I know, somehow, that only when it is
dark enough can you see the stars.”
~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
