Zucchini brownies -

sounds perfect; what could go wrong?

      Crumbly -  epic fail!!

Paint(1), lop(2), nip(3), weed-whack(4)

working the North Country Trail -

     sunny, breezy - nice.

 

(1) trail markers

(2) big branches

(3) little branches

(4) well, weeds 

Over the rooftops,

pink clouds in fading twilight -

    crescent moon smile on... 

 Well God,

some of the things I put into my mouth do in fact defile my person -

too much sugar, too much fat, too many (ultra-processed?) treats;

and some of the things that come out of my mouth (and even my heart)

are kind and generous and said with love.

So it's not as simple as it seems,

which is why Jesus spoke often in poems and parables.

We rejoice today in the kind and gracious words 

he spoke to the Canaanite woman -

 "Let it be done for you as you wish."

Help me today to eat good and healthy foods 

and to say kind and loving things. 

This is what I wish. 

Postcard and a stamp,

a few lines about the day -

       long distance connect. 

Customers tap cards,

quietly I sit eyes closed -

       life streams around me. 

One basketball court,

three tennis courts, kids playground -

     where are the people?

 

Walking past an empty Williams Park (Ohio St) this morning.
