Hello Again!

Well, it appears now that the notification problem with this website has been resolved and you should once again receive a notification after a new blog is posted.  Took a while to get that sorted out!  I’ve missed you in the meantime!  You may have missed a few posts, so at your leisure look back and see what’s been happening.

Here we are on the cusp of spring – more in some locations than others!  But, all of us will soon be seeing wildflowers and breaths of fresh air. The beginning of lent is coming next week.  Here’s a small poem I wrote in the past about spring cleaning of the mind.  May you find fresh air and a continually renewing vista as the world continues to turn us toward the light as we wave good by to February!

SPRING CLEANING

I want to have

a spring cleaning

of my mind.

Get ready

for an open house.

Dust off old ideas.

And I want

to get rid of

the heavy scale

in the very heart

of my heart…

The one that weighs

every small thing

to see if it is

worthy.

I want to be large

about small things,

to own a telescope

instead of a microscope.

I want to put out

the welcome mat,

open the door,

to let in

the me

I want

to be.
