In-Between – Friday’s Phlog for January 15, 2016

sun and trees

a winter’s day,

chills me to the bone,

watching my breath,

awakens my senses,

gives me clarity,

 confirms that life

is about

the in-between,

the time we spend,

in-between work and

commitments,

is what gives us life,

and fulfills our purpose.

STEPPING OUT OF THE TREES – FRIDAY’S PHLOG FOR JUNE 13, 2014

sunset birch bay

As she walked down the trail through

the lush green canopy,

she wasn’t sure where her feet would take her,

she gasped at the enormous width of

the tree trunks as she looked up to see,

green as high as the sky,

down a narrow hill and across

a rickety bridge,

she found herself stepping out of

the trees into the most glorious light.

UNDER THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS – FRIDAY’S PHLOG FOR JUNE 6, 2014

cherry tree

“When I sound the fairy call, gather here in silent meeiing,
Chin to knee on the orchard wall, cooled with dew and cherries eating.
Merry, merry, take a cherry, mine are sounder, mine are rounder,
Mine are sweeter for the eater, when the dews fall, and you’ll be fairies all.”

Emily Dickinson
