She came into Being whole and flawless, yet we tried to perfect Perfection as if we somehow knew better than God. Sadly, we were mistaken.

First Light
Robins chirping
in the trees
me yawning
in my slippers
worms burrowing
deeper into the
dew-softened soil
lest they fall prey
to the early bird

Zen Garden
Tall vertical stones with their leaning rock consorts float within a sea of white sand and gravel raked to perfection into rippling waves in a contrastingly calm, even plane. This little garden, an oasis of zen energy, unassuming and nonsanctimonious, helps keep me afloat when I find myself tossed by waves of undisciplined thought, reminding me that I - like the garden - am an amalgam, not of sand and gravel and rock, but of body, mind and spirit; and that I, too, am perfectly patterned for my own even plane of unassuming and nonsanctimonious existence.

Focus on Blur
It would appear that –
in this moment –
mindfulness is a prominent focus.
Stop and smell the roses…
live life in the now…
But sometimes
maybe it’s okay to
release the brakes, and
let life come at you
in a glorious full-tilt blur.
Mindfully, of course.

The secret to longevity and contentment
is to make the most of each fleeting moment.

Daily Triumph
Triumph - noun 1. the act, fact, or condition of being victorious or triumphant; victory; conquest. 2. a significant success or noteworthy achievement; instance or occasion of victory.
Sometimes a triumph is feted with a fanfare of blaring trumpets, a clamorous parade, and perhaps even a flaunting display of the coveted “spoils of war.” And sometimes... it is met with a soft sigh as the coolness of evening settles in, and one can rest in the knowing that they have survived - nay, triumphed over - yet another day.
