Put you best foot
Forward,
No matter what your size
Or tread.
Put your best foot
Forward,
Let no one fill your soul
With dread.
Put your best foot
Forward,
And follow both your heart
And head.
Put your best foot
Forward,
So you can find your path
Ahead.

Blessed be the heat
Of fire
Fed by wood
That held on
To the driven strength of home.
Let air
Breathe through
The flames
That will allow warmth
To the water
While the earth
Hammocks your body
And your eyes
Address heaven’s stairs.

As you descend toward the shore
You see
The water
Lapping
At the edges
Of what will
In a moment be
The touchdown to your welcome home.
Note: This photo was taken last month, on a cellphone, from behind the thick windows of a Boeing 787 on approach to JFK (shadow of the aircraft on the water).

“Look, Mama,” the child called, a soft fist held aloft as she ran, delighted, toward her mother. “I found some polka-dot blueberries!”
“Wait, where? Let me see? Those aren’t … Did you eat any?”
The child shrugged and twirled away, fingers closing protectively over a grimy palm that still held some blue orbs of what-mama-said-are-not-really-blueberries.
“Wait! Get back here. I need to see those again … Are you sure you didn’t eat any? They could make you very sick! And …” the woman looked around their deserted picnic blanket. “Where is your brother..? Where’s Eric!?”
“Oh,” the little girl pranced out of reach, and gestured vaguely in the direction of the trees beyond the forest clearing. “There. He found polka-dot strawberry mushrooms!”
Note: Inspired by a true story of a family I know, whose summer picnic ended up with a call to Poison Control, an ambulance, and two children in the Emergency Department. One child was fine. The second child eventually got better. Mama still can’t touch berries or mushrooms. Teach your children about the dangers of foraging and instruct them to not pick or eat (!!) any plant they don’t show you FIRST. …

Look, Mama! Look at this!
Can you believe how high?!
I did the whole thing by myself
And I will tell you why:
It is the tallest building king
That ever touched the sky,
And I will build it up again
Each time someone walks by.

Their small heads
Rise proud
In mid-trail.
Delicate and fierce
They stretch their
Full miniature scale.
The risk they take
Of being
Stepped on,
Dwarfed by delicious
Access
To sun.

In these hands
Is held the future,
Made of blooms
That kept their oath.
In these hands
Is held the fruit of
Sun’s long labor,
Fed by rain
And nature’s growth.
In these hands
Is cupped the sweet taste
Of confection,
And the marvel
That is bounty
And is beauty
And is both.

Wider than the wildest view
It spans
The soul
To draw in breath
And nourish you.

There’s a little
Big toe
Twirling free
On the go,
As the other
In tow
Hopes its own
Sock
To throw.

The long night arrives
Wrapped in ends
Of dreams
And threads of hopes.
A tapestry
Of what may come
Therein,
As unfettered souls
Are finally free
To roam
Within.
Where darkness
Becomes its own
Light,
That holds
No more an actual
Night.
Note: The photo depicts an ancient burial cave in Israel
