What’s Changed For You?

Rushing toward next room,
Half way there,
I remembered —
We moved those file cabinets three weeks ago.

Where Has Kindness Shown Up This Last Week?

I was on my way out the door.
Office worker said,
“Thank you for your kindness”
“We don’t get much in this office”.

Where Is Your “Cheering Squad?”

I had a dream I remembered!
Seldom happens.
Usually disappear in jumble,
Shapes, people, bizarre circumstances.
This hung around.

What Is Your Winter Focus?

This time can prompt our noticing
Connection, similarity,
In simplest activity.

Your Story

Are you sharing your story?
My Friend, you never know
Where your story will prompt
Someone’s reaching bigger.

Connection Boost

What group connection perks up your life?

You know the feeling.
Interactions that make you
Think more clearly,
Have sense of possibility.

Power of Visibility

How do you know you are
Showing up “Loud and Proud?”*

I have “cool” new bike shirt,
High-viz orange-red, SPF 50.

Grey Days

Grey days are hard for me,
Damping down my optimism.
Canceling out thoughts of
Positive action.

New Year 1949

When I was ten years old,
I dashed outside New Year’s morning,
Filled with wonder that we had a NEW time.
I shouted up to the sky,
“This time is new!
It’s called 1949!”

A Different Christmas

What was different about Christmas for you?
This week held Christmas.
Whatever that holiday means for you,
I wonder if its essence was different this year.

Trusting Your Route

How do you trust your route?
How often are our paths winding?
Unsure, rough and gravelly?
Connection to next part unclear,
Yet arriving at place that
Is start of continuing journey.

Varying routine

What are you able to do to vary your routine?

Bob and I took another “loop” drive.
Our three-hour outing,
Started and ended in our own garage.
