Belonging is when…..
Entertaining the face…..
Confidant that there is…..
Observing those things…..
Mending the tears…..
Entering life as it……
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson, essayist
(1803 ~ 1882)
Waves of emotion and energy
surged and ebbed
as tides and pull of the moon
grow calmer
and more steady
with the passage of years
til waves lap gently
at the shore.
Unfamiliar but released
from pressured,
working years.
A time to build and live anew
with restored energy and
challenges of our own making.
“The will must be stronger than the skill.”
~ Muhammad Ali

I often long for cake
Chocolate
Spice
Carrot cake
White cake if necessary
Icing not a requirement ~
but I’ll never turn it down
Today I gave myself a treat
Only because I hadn’t eaten yet
and I’d walked a long way
‘all sold out’ of rice bowls
forced me ~ yes forced me ~
to either just have tea or maybe,
just maybe a piece of cake?
When I saw a real piece of apple
inside a maple cinnamon cake
with cream cheese frosting ~ two layers!
There was no contest.
It was dense, moist and delicious ~
a perfect accompaniment
to my Peppermint Fog Tea.
“Where there is cake, there is hope.
And there is always cake.”
~ Dean Koontz, author
