In the slowest hour of the night
She came in robes
Of dreams
To weave the nearest future
Into light.
She swished along the desert
Roads that only
Deepest yearnings
Take
And whispered:
It shall be.
You’ll find the path
To follow when you
Wake.

Skirl a tune
Blow the pipes
Upon Highlands’
Tall banks.
Through deep lochs
And rocky lakes
May beauty keep
Your soul awake.

Old Fashioned Goulash (Yummly.com)
She hates soup. She hates stew.
She can’t stand beef. Tomatoes, too.
She doesn’t care if it’s tradition.
She doesn’t care it’s grandma’s edition.
To her the concept is just foolish
And your goulash is plain ghoulish.
For The Daily Post
There’s so much harshness and rigidity, so many difficult realities, hardened views, unyielding opinions, and limited acceptance all around, that it can be easy to forget the infinite sweetness that exists all around us.
The infinite sweetness
In a baby’s smile.
In a youngling’s antics.
In the green of an unfurling leaf.
In a stranger’s compassion.
In a perfect strawberry.
In a sip of tea on snowy days.
In the sigh of warm bath water.
In the life that sheds and lives and sheds and lives in all around us.
In the repeating revolution of this planet, hurtling as it is through space in speeds we cannot comprehend and yet are an integral part of.
The infinite sweetness of what can be remembered with nostalgia and what is hoped for and may well become — or may just, possibly, find pathways.
To infinity.

There’s snow in the North hemisphere
There’s sun in the South
A mystery line that splits seasons
And turns the sun around
One world
Two halves
East and West, North and South
A multitude of places and
Even bigger one of beings
All unique in their glories
All striving for life
Ice coats sidewalks in New Hampshire
Sweat coats brows in Brazil
There are coats in Chicago
Flip flops Down Under
Naked trees in Vermont
Bikinied girls in Cape Town
All attires between
In all places are children:
Bundled up or
Bare armed
Booted and coated
Warmed in the sun
In a sphere blue with oceans
Currents, islands, trade winds
Charted lands
Charted songs
Charted trends
Blogged, tweeted, emailed heart lines
There’s a place of belonging
A tangible understanding
A gravity holding
Us all on shared ground.
