Tomorrow
"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools, The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,And then is heard …
Clunk
Clunk clunk clunk, dunk under kerplunk, a silly little word play get me outta my funk, Clunky day? Clunky clunk it away! Don’t let the clunky make your monkey-mind opine, wade through the clunky funk to the other side, Brighter side, things to do? Done! Now on with it, clunky or not, make it fun, …

Waterfowl
My mom had this quiet obsession … Stayed with me, “waterfowl” … we had wooden replica throughout the house, part of the mishmash decore in my abode now, Recently on the Oregon coast, southern section, with my kids, much needed respite, retreat to calm and slow and needed, Lots of time sitting, watching the water …
What We Need
Reflecting on the last few days, last week, Road journey through the long northern expanse, some of the vast wilderness of our state, through pine forests rising up from sloping mountains, Into southern Oregon and then west to the Pacific Coast, to a bay area called Coos, sanctuary, To a modest, blue-grey cottage where the …
