Easing into the day. . .


My arthritis, like a saw tooth fish makes me want to stay in bed sometimes until noon or so, but then I get up and move around some, and by 2:30 I'm going. Sat in Black Sheep Coffee today listening to young people talk of photos, cameras. Two joined me and we talked of Dylan, "Forever Young," both of them about 22 years-old, young woman with a Sony Alpha 100, young man with two older cameras, a Canon and a Pentax, both film cameras. I was pleased to show them my Nikon L100, a beauty.


Camera, eye, stabalized like a rock,

Zoom to 15 power, a few years back,

unthinkable, a menu of color, shape, easy on the pocket,

easy for Marge. I am not in hock,

Around the easy day of a lake in summer,

Beautiful days, 75 degrees, soft wind in July.

    Viewing the large-size image: In the lower left corner of this picture there are a couple of little splashes of sunlight coming through the shade trees. They broke my heart with their beauty. They look like home.

    My favorite line: "unthinkable, a menu of color, shape, easy on the pocket"

Flower Grace

Image
Honesty relieves guilt wh ich in turn relieves psychosis, and that is the core of my past, the thought that I might get away with a theft, so stealing is wrong and I remember quarters in Tim's desk in college. Took them for laundry, and magically a few more appeared in my desk; it's been a long trek to reveal the right! Working in difficult jobs to prove I could earn my way. Giving grades to undeserving students, an this past year taking from my family, but these days I think of relief, Grace, the combination of knowing right from wrong an doing right. River, keep me walking for no person steps in the same stream twice. When I am given, to say Grace as the flower graces the day, as green supplants rock walls. Oh God, be thanked for this vision.

Ice cream, Ice milk

I ate an ice cream sandwich, so good and delicious, and today life is good, life is delicious, to take a chunk of peanut butter, ice milk, living history, farms laughing brooks when I was four, and my father took me fishing for brown trout, nothing like brown trout from uncle Lloyd's creek, hiss and sizzle with the frying pan making good lunches, and suppers, the long days, and uncle Clair's cows, the squirt of fresh milk from the teat , those cows feeding and being milked, eighty or so brown cows, and we had pitchers of fresh milk for lunch, living out that long summer vacation, livid with the cousins, I was always excited, and the girls let me ride a bull, the bull was saddled, they called him Old Red, belief, and give, they were God fearing people; I had no notion of what they meant, God revealed to me now, God living in each living cell, morsel of food, we live another day.
