Still Here

Honolulu

Be like the moon
and inspire people
even when you're
far from full.
K. Tolnoe

Naps are nature's way

of reminding you that

life is nice, like a

beautiful swinging hammock...

Peggy Noonan

It is almost impossible

to watch a sunset

and not dream.

Bernard Williams

I feel the wave
But do not drown.
It rises up
Then settles down.

My breath is here
My feet, the ground
I stay with what is real,
Not go round and round.

Mind may race,
Heart may pound,
But I choose calm,
Healing sounds.

Not every thought
Must pull me in—
Let it pass
Refuse to spin.

I pause. I breathe.
I gently steer.
I am safe
And I'm still here.

Monday Murals

Snack time summit,

table of cheer,

Forks hold a meeting

when mealtime is near.

Veggies and desserts

all casting their vote—

'More sauce, less gossip,'

the salad bowl wrote!
