Like living with cancer. LIVING WITH CANCER. Acceptance. It sometimes does not go away. Sometimes we have to live with it. Like this pandemic. Living with COVID. All the new realities. Like cancer: accept; evaluate; adjust; go forward. GO FORWARD. This life is meant to be lived; this life is meant to be experienced; live …

Moonlight
Moonlight, bright light, midway in the sky. Bright light begins the journey east to west, near full, light the way. Six year old says it shines because of the sun, reflecting, her sister told her so. Bright light in the night sky, light the backyard campsite, keep us company throughout the night. Keep us company …
The Only Thing To Do…
The only thing to do is keep going. It’s a new week, keep going. It’s a new day, keep going. Your relationships are a little funky; maybe a lot funky. Keep going. You’ve made the same errors more times than you’d like, maybe more thank you can count, keep going. It’s hard, keep going. You’re …
Zzzzz
Slumber, sweet slumber, wash over me. Darkness and gentle breeze from the fan, comfort me. Let my cells, every cell of me rest, recharge, reset. Prayers whispered to Heaven, sooth my trembling soul. Take me quickly, and deeply into your gentle embrace, wash away my worries, the fatigue, the uncertainty. Let me be certain tomorrow. …

Summer Solstice, Downhill
From here on out in the year, the days get shorter. It’s downhill to year-end, good momentum now. Let this fact be a spark for you, for me, that we will see, make the most of each hour, each day. Listen to the birds sing a little more. Worry a little less. Let gravity do …

I failed Monday; at least the activity was spread out a bit throughout the day. Tuesday was worse; my work sank me throughout the morning; I didn’t make my hourly goal until after …

Hot Seat
A couple warm days, over 90 F, here where we live. In my garage office, the fan gives just enough breeze to mediate the heat, but still it’s a little rough. The warm days will cool end of week though, and it will be a little more bearable. But in America right now, there’s a …
Haiku Form: Heat Wave
