Not your usual cherry tomato

Not the usual garden.  Perhaps, best to keep quarantined though quite striking, don't you think?

Scurry

Some words are perfect even if they aren't spoken everyday.  But when they are spoken, they send forth a visual.  A gesture to being in two places at the same time.  Like a spoon dipping into sauce.  A pen approaching paper.  A scurrying of light. 

Whatever is happening, it looks hopeful

 

At the center of these times are four letters:  HOPE.  Swirling inward and outward.  No separation.  The world's mirror is not static.  

Vessels for gestures

 

Glass gladly holds reflections.  Sky is a vessel for clouds. A sauce coats a spoon.  Paper soaks up ink. And above all, the hand open contains everything.     

The Great Pause

 

Somewhere, there is precise name for this phenomenon, but it escapes me.  It's not a simple noun -- pen or spoon.  More viscous than liquid.  

Night is an exquisite storyteller

 See, night transforming reeds into magic pens.  This happens whether anyone is present or not.  Whether the favored wooden spoon is at the ready; whether there is paper available to hold the wild gesturing  

Here's where I want to be today

 

Whispering

 

is an intimacy.  Almost as much as corn & tomatoes.  Or pen & paper.  Something to consider, the next time you eavesdrop.  

You know so much already

Rain will begin in 15 minutes.  It's sound, a lullaby.

It's difficult to put down such a good story even though it's a cookbook. 

It's been a fragmented day full of shadow and reflection.  

This feeling might go on for some time.   

Little one

This year I have noticed so many baby lizards.  Is it because the world is quieter or simply Zoomed-out?

Which poem, what dream will happen this evening hours after I have stirred the sauce for pasta. 

Unlikely container

And yet who's to say what a leaf, what a hand, what thought may hold. What spoon, a sauce. A pen, the final period.

Do I need a reason to be happy?
