Friday Zen: The Only Poem I Ever Wrote That I Liked

I am not a poet.  But this poem popped into my head one morning, years and years ago.  I tweak it a bit every year or two, usually while I'm slowly coming awake, taking my morning shower.  I share it with you for today's Friday Zen:

A fleet of clouds sailed slowly by

The sun igniting the weary sky

The colors bled

The night time fled

And we as witnesses, you and I

Happy Friday Zen, everyone.  I promise, no more poems.  

Love Thursday: Little Treasures, Organic Shapes

Sometimes happiness comes in really simple little packages - like the way something lovely can brighten up your day.  I'm sooooo drawn to the organic shapes of these little beauties, and I'm in awe of the incredible artistry and detail in the handmade pair (the leaves with the gorgeous green patina).  I impulsively collected these shells at the beach on Brigantine Island, NJ, although they are just part of a much wider collection that I've carried home over the years in sandy pockets and bags (including the stone paperweights on my desk that are from Rye Beach, NH).  It doesn't matter the time of year - a walk on the beach is always good, and always yields little treasures.

 

May your day be filled with happy treasures, large and small!

 

As always, find more images and thoughts of love and loveliness here.
