with the attitude that
your peace,
your health of mind,
and your heart
mean more than
getting everything else done.

One of the rare occasions I will show myself. Banged up knee, no front teeth, one of Grandma’s ridiculous haircuts, yet the boy on my side could not resist my charm and became my boyfriend for one summer.

One of our neighbors close by is obsessed with his yard. It is spotless. No weeds could survive the constant care and attention given by the owner. The flowers, the grass, everything is perfect -perhaps too perfect.

To try to understand the imperceptible
Power pervading the world;
One word or a simple gesture can determine if you are a smile or a tear.
