Hope will never
be silent.
Harvey Milk
The wise
do not grow old.
They Ripen.

Today's a new day.
It's your day.
You shape it.
Don't
let it be shaped by
someone else's
ignorance or fear.
Steve Maraboli
Nothing in this world
compares to the
comfort and security
of having someone
just hold your hand.

Do not lean so hard
On what is missing
That you forget
The sunlight on your hand.
That you forget
The sunlight on your hand.
The day is not just heavy thoughts
It is also coffee and, a stray laugh overheard.
The small green courage
Of a growing leaf by the sidewalk.
It is also coffee and, a stray laugh overheard.
The small green courage
Of a growing leaf by the sidewalk.
Don't stare so long
At closed doors
That you miss how the window
Is quietly shining.
At closed doors
That you miss how the window
Is quietly shining.
A bird heckles the morning,
Someone holds the door,
The ocean remembers my name in foam.
Life keeps slipping you gifts—
The crust of warm bread,
A text that simply says “I'm here.”
Most of it,
If you look again,
Is really good stuff:
Ordinary miracles in plain clothes.
They wait politely
At the edge of your attention,
Hoping you will finally look up and say,
“Oh—there you are!
Come in."

Pixie looks like she wants you to take her paddle boarding, too. Or maybe she just wants to play with the kitty upstairs.
I feel like I am just past the point of being ripe.
...may goodness shine down on you, Cloudia.
I loved your invitation for miracles!
Are we sure that was the chaplain? :)
That dog on the paddle board looks a bit scared.
Hope will not be silent sang to me. Love these reminders from you , helps me see my life with fresh eyes
The dog does not look happy, Cloudia. ;-)
Pixie and her buddy look comfortable
Great writing!
Thank you for sharing.
Yet another fantastic poem, Cloudia. Happy Thanksgiving!
Your poem spoke to me, especially the line "Ordinary miracles in plain clothes."
Sending love and good vibes your way!
You should see the zest and excitement that surfing dogs show when its time to jump on the board! I would say that this dog is holding a pretty smart/standard posture surfing dogs use. Thanks for your animal heart!!
Lovely captures and poem!
Would have loved to see the chaplain ride!
