2171. smile


autumn afternoon 
as the sun goes down, stopping 
 to smile



On my walk, seeing a smile makes me stop and smile. “Many accomplishments are made by people who study carefully and put in a lot of hard work, but those who follow Tao would rather celebrate the accomplishments of those who got their best ideas while tinkering, or taking a bath, or eating breakfast, or taking a walk, or sipping tea, or just doing nothing.”  Deng Ming-Dao

the fig eaters
“oh!. . .oh!. . .”
“so good!”

 


We pulled fresh figs from the trees. Last of the season until next year.  Superb!☝️ That’s Dan and Gloria. 



2169. things change


after the rains
windy, windy, windy, winds
sun settles down 

 


Things change.
