Fascinated by the ordinary
I look around and see
little things that
get walked past,
brushed away
neglected.
Ordinary is what keeps our lives
interesting and functioning.
Tea kettle whistling time for tea;
the cracks in the sidewalks,
pretty little yellow flowers on a bush
the chortling laughter of a baby,
the curiosity of a child,
Fascinated by the ordinary
I look around and see.
“You can find something truly important in an ordinary minute.”
~ Mitch Albom, For One More Day
Four geese flew low
preparing for the long flight south
it is always comforting to hear
that soft ruffle of their wings
then I know that a part of nature
is blood and bone as are we ~
traversing life on the silent wings of
ancestors, family and friends.
“You are born to fly, and in dreams you remember the soul has wings.”
~ Robert Moss, Australian historian
Scattered clouds of yesterday
adrift in the evening sky ~
gilded by tonight’s setting sun.
“The sky and the sun are always there.
It’s the clouds that come and go.”
~ Rachel Joyce,
The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy
