In the evening
I listen to poetry
Tonight
Desiderata
Listening to the wisdom
I’ve lived with for decades,
my belief is unchanged
in all the seasons of my life.
“Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.”
~ Max Ehrmann, Desiderata (1927)
(1872 - 1945)

bread pudding
simple
cinnamon spicy
delicious
“The proof of the pudding is the eating.”
~ Miguel de Cervantes
on a bench far from the bell towers, the air silent save for
the raucous calling of crows
to interrupt this peaceful Sunday morn; crunching leaves, dry cracked earth,
squirrels scampered, a backyard barbecue grilled juicy hamburgers.
a woman played with her child on bright blue and red swings. I imagined
the tolling of the bells -
their music drifting into the sky,
settling over the city in peace and calm.
“For bells are the voice of the church;
They have tones that touch and search
the hearts of young and old.”
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
