All my thoughts and imaginings:  the finest papers cut into perfect square pieces…hands and fingers touching, turning lifting, twisting, folding, over and over. That’s all my work laid out on the floor, lined up for an upcoming exhibit of origami compositions. There should be about 30 framed pieces in all. I’m excited. Please come and look and see—where and when: Lincoln Woods Apartments Community Room, 9801 Germantown Avenue, Lafayette Hill PA. October 16 thru December 19, viewing 10AM—3PM Monday to Friday.




2154. little raccoon


hello, there
little raccoon, where’d you come from? 
where will you go?

 


Raccoon! A little raccoon heading my way, walking toward me one step at a time…step, pause…step, pause…a little too slowly, too carefully, his right foot not touching the ground, held high, as though in pain. “Where did you come from, little one?” All alone, was he sad, did he need comfort? I wanted to hold him but I didn’t. I simply stayed awhile watching, holding him in my thoughts and hopes that he be graced by heaven’s tender arms. 



2153. true happiness


true happiness
lies in all the details
of daily life


 

One of my teeth needed to go. Waiting 15 minutes for the lidocaine to take effect and numb my gums, all I could do was sit there and stare at the surgeon’s tools. Then I remembered this: “The true secret of happiness lies in taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life.” Somehow, I wasn’t quite feeling it that day.😘
