three day

opportunity

beckons. the chance to learn more

about listening.

why

contradictory

information. someone is

not telling the truth.

roadside stand

dark red strawberries,

juicy and so very sweet.

hello there, summer!

rehabbin'

damn frozen shoulder.

first the left, and now the right.

come on! get better!

gun shop

such an ugly thing.

does it feed your power need,

this threatening head?

acceptance

it is so freeing

to learn that stumbling is

part of the process

 

worthy endeavor

striving to live life

with as much integrity

as is possible

nike haiku

just do it, darn it.

just ride the haiku wagon

without falling off.

daily haiku!

i wonder if a

string around my finger would

help me remember

weeknight

no tv tonight.

just reading. so relaxing.

ready for bed now.

bonus

breakfast with "the kid"

and her boyfriend, whom we like.

happy mother's day.

longing

i miss my husband,

working out of town again.

tomorrow, he's back!

friends

monica, chandler,

ross and rachel and phoebe,

and joey, of course.

chores

warm soapy water.

cleansing away the leavings.

clean dishes again!

may

a weekend of fun

and celebrating students.

they make us so proud.

reminiscing

today i recall

how much i miss my students...

did i serve them well?

frustration

some days are just hard.

the hits? they just keep coming.

so weird how that works.

knowing

you find out she's gone...

what you'd give to go back to

the moment before...
