on the sidelines
Month: June 2023
I found some photos of ice & stone
of the East Branch of the Penobscot River (Grindstone, Maine) from December 1, 2017. There are many more that I’ll be adding over time.
the night I said good-bye & plum trees
Plum Trees
The blossoming plums are a comforting sight,
they understand I am heavy with wine
– Chiang K’uei
do you recall
when I planted plum trees
to the east of our home
and dusk promised us
a life still
as a Chinese scroll
yet later in darkness
I turned away
and seemed to sleep
so many winters
my head heavy
my plum trees gone
whirls away
read this book
Read it & pass it along.

looking in the mirror
for my friend Kevin
and for all of us
…living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; taking this world as it is not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen. – Reinhold Niebuhr
