nightmares
You wished me sweet dreams
Subconscious had other plans
Can I wake up now?
day dreams
balmy winter day
sun’s warmth stirs dreams of spring in
hibernating souls
One Spoke
I am but one spoke in the wheel.
I carry only a small portion of the load.
The wheel could function without me.
It sustains itself as a whole.
I am but one spoke in the wheel.
I do my part.
I carry my share of the load.
I hold strong.
We are but spokes in a wheel.
We support one another.
We rely on one another.
We work together to carry a load that
none of us could sustain on our own.
Without each spoke,
the wheel weakens.
Without us all, the wheel would collapse.
The vehicle’s motion would cease.
We cannot steer the vehicle.
We must rely on other mechanisms to
choose our direction.
We must trust in others, as others trust in us.
Together, in faith, we make the journey.

tenacity
Sometimes growth isn’t about new beginnings and fresh starts.
Sometimes it’s about perseverance through tough times,
when stagnation would be so much easier;
giving up easier still.
Sometimes growth comes with refusing to wilt.

Old and New
new builds upon old
thus old becomes new again
and growth proves ageless

A Very Furry Christmas
“Tomorrow is Christmas, Tux Cat!”
“Do you think Santa Claws will bring us presents?”
“Chules, Santa Claws knows whether you’ve been naughty or nice.”
“What’s your point, Tux Cat?”
“Never mind, Chules. Let’s just go to sleep and hope for the best.”
Zzzzzzzzz
“Wake up, Tux Cat! I think Santa Claws visited us last night!”
“Look, Tux Cat! Santa left me a football!”
“Santa brought you some tuna, Tux Cat! It was yummy!”
“Merry Christmas, Tux Cat.”
“Merry Christmas, Chules.”
And Merry Christmas to all of you!
Three Arches in Black & White
When I saw the subject for this week’s Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge, I knew I had the perfect photo. The theme this week is “Arches, Domes and Half Circles.”
So here’s a photo of a half-circle window that abstractly depicts the Three Arch Rocks in Oceanside, OR. I just finished making this window and we installed it a couple of days ago.
If you’d like to see the window in color (recommended), I’ve posted it on my Glass Gallery page here.
Here are some more photos for the Challenge:
Courtyard archway in Lake Oswego, OR
Half-circle windows in the Multnomah County Library in Portland, OR.
Archway at Battery Russell in Warrenton, OR.
What Rhymes with Stanza?
