Forgive Us, Mother
Sooner or later, we will have to recognize that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.

Playing from Memory
When I was a child
we played with sticks, rocks and mud, and
garter snakes until they escaped
into the long grass of unmown fields.
We looked for frog eggs —
and later for tadpoles — in
murky ditches of standing water
alongside gravel roads.
We went barefoot
and sometimes forgot to sidestep
the patches of barbed sand stickers that
latched onto the soles of our feet.
When I was a child
growing up in a small town,
I never realized
what a privilege it was.

Wow! 2016 is here already!
I suppose I made some resolutions for last year, but having forgotten what they were, I can neither celebrate my successes nor berate my shortcomings. And I’m content with that.
I think contentment was pretty much my theme for last year, and in that regard 2015 was quite fulfilling.

For 2016, I am foregoing the whole New Year’s resolution exercise, and in its place I’m using an idea that I picked up on The Tao of Dana blog. I’m going to consciously choose a new overlying theme for the coming year. That way it doesn’t become something to flog myself over for not completing. It’s just a gentle nudge in the direction I want to travel.
So what should my 2016 theme be? I’ll ponder that question in the next few days. And I’ll write it down and post it somewhere so I won’t forget.
But for now, I’m content to just let the new year unfold as it will.
Wishing you the best for 2016!

Through the Eye
Sometimes,
facing life’s challenges
makes you feel as though
you’re trying to fit
through the eye of a needle.
The way to make it through is
one thread at a time.
