Options tested for
here and there,
why and why not,
for maybe and for sure
take up too much space
in a muddled head,
while ordinary tasks
get done. People say
‘you think too much’
and maybe so but I want
the goshawks and sparrows,
the robins and meadow larks
to know that their beauty is
part of life that lifts
‘too much thinking’ to the skies of
possibility for each tomorrow.
“Sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

Roaming the gardens
sets my prairie heart
beside bees and butterflies
gathering nectar and pollen
from native wild flowers,
while bugs and beetles
hide their busyness
in the wildness.
“To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.”

Running toward tomorrow
always risks
losing out on today.
Go fast enough to get there, but slow enough to see.”
~ Jimmy Buffett, singer, songwriter
