Rabbit Hollow
The rabbits were out in full force. They are not afraid. They stand still in the grass as dog and I walk along the path. I leave some strawberries in the treeline for them. Three of the babies were out today. Running, chasing each other in the grass. They find shelter under the pines and…

Change
The little yellow bench is gone. It stood against the pine. Each year the pine provided shelter and a canopy of green above me. You could sit there and watch the sun set over the water. The little gray cottage is shuttered. The hands of the claddagh folded in friendship. The place where friends met.…

Sky
Leaving before the sun rises, the quiet comforts me. This time is my favorite time of day. The midst on the hills rises and dances. There is a fawn peeping out of the tree line. I made coffee to take with me. The coffee is hot in its holder, fragrant. The twists and turns of…

Humilty
When you understand humility, you understand that we are connected to each other. Even when our beliefs are different, we don’t take it personally. We respect the right of others to exist and live as they want. Humility creates peace. Humility holds space for others. The right to vote freely, act freely without harm to…

The Madonna
As I walk by the cabinet in the dining room, she stares at me as I pass. She sits high on top of the cabinet. Sometimes I forget that she is there. The term Madonna means, my lady. She represents love, compassion and virtue. A few years ago my husband and I went to look…

Happy Connections
I’m feeling a little overwhelmed, but happy. The last few weeks have been a blur of activity. The other day I was asked to fill in for someone who couldn’t keep their volunteer commitment. I said yes and went on my way to fill-in. When I got to the center, I found out that I…

Transmute
Tonight I walked to the meadow and was surprised to see that there were seven deer there. They looked at me, unafraid and curious. The dog was on his lead and pulled to see them. We interrupted their meeting. The dog and I stood still to watch them at the edge of the meadow. They…

The Block – Part Two
Frankly, the house needed quite a bit of fixing up. I was going to work a summer session to get a little more money to help me get the repairs done sooner then later. The ceiling in the dining room was in sad shape. When the contractor came to give me an estimate, he hit…

The Block
Going through the real estate ads, I needed to find a place to live. I had limited funds, but I was a teacher. I was a union teacher, so I wasn’t going to rent. I was going to buy. The union made it possible for us to buy a home. We had almost 200,000 members.…
