Food For Thought
Because today I have been thinking about so many things at once, I decided to stop thinking.

Inspired by Stanley Kunitz

Question Mark ?
*I often sit watching the clouds change into different shapes. I wrote this poem this morning after a few minutes of meditation.

In Tune with Nature
Today was another beautiful day. The temperature was perfect for gardening a little more and for just visiting with nature. I took a walk around the neighborhood and noticed the trees were starting to show off their foliage. The trees with bright red crimson leaves seemed to smile back at me. The trees in my backyard are still very bare. I looked at the grey … Continue reading In Tune with Nature

“A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than knowledge that is Idle.” -Kahlil Gibran Way too many of us have acted on the knowledge we have acquired in our lives.
