The Morning’s Bliss
Mornings have always been special. The sounds blended on the street as Princess (our then German Shepherd) and I walked. The lights in the homes spoke of early risers, the occasional car with lights on. The dog down the street spoke his urgency to get matters started. There still is a benevolence to the morning…

Kiss The Morning Into Being
I think I will have it as my epithet. It means a word or phrase that describes an attribute of characteristic quality. I like it. Kiss the Morning Into Being For It Has Long Won The Battle Over Night. My need to know what I needed to know was my long night. It has…

An Ever Fixed Mark
An Ever Fixed Mark What can be written that has not been written before? What are the new voices saying to old hearts turning mellow? Not much one hears is different except the ever fixed mark which shrouds a piece of truth and shows its consistency. It is exactly that. . . an ever fixed…

The Reclused
The Reclused We do not violate the solitude cherished as a milch cow on a painted pasture. We usurp with kindness any benevolence dispensed on us as gratitude.

Suffer The Little Child

Come Into My Kitchen
Come Into My Kitchen There are some people one brings into the heart of the home, the kitchen, whom one at once knows they do not belong in this room. They are parlor people. I invited a dear friend and her family for dinner one day. Her son in law, a large…

Previous Harvests
Previous Harvests Scribed on the fine parchment of memory are the summers of previous harvests. Long tables are full of heaped bowls, breads baked to a fine crust, jellies and jams wobbly in the best dishes, a must for the farmers; men who had come to levy up the huge bales of hay or to…

Resolution
When I talk in terms of quantum theory, of parallel worlds, or the profound effect the invisible has on the visible world, it was not going to have a name for me until this year of 2015. But a different head was mine from day one. Yet in the late 60’s when the tsunami went…
