1086. handle it!

feeling stuck

and out of sorts?

handle it!

It’s 7:17AM and I’m stumped. I don’t have a post, don’t know what to do so I call Dan. I say Dan, help, I don’t know what to do. He says that’s okay, you’ve been there before. Now’s the time for transparency. Take a picture, any picture will do, just look out the window, use that and say you’re stumped. I can’t do that, I’ll use an old picture. No, he says, don’t use an old picture. Take a picture of the worms you’re working on. Handle it!

Well okay, there they are.🪱 🪱🐛 🪱🐛

1085. hawk!

the hawk cries out

then lands on the fallen branch,

quiet as a mouse

A taker of lives—the hawk. Its shrill scream gets me every time. KEE-EEEEE-ARR!!  My breathing comes to a stop. I stay still….look up and search the sky….all without thinking.  I wonder…all the little birds and the rabbits and chipmunks and squirrels and mice, do they all do the same?

 

1084. the old trooper

as the sun goes down

he steps out on the lawn,

all legs & no head

*

the old trooper

patriotic ‘til the end,

still waving his flag

Who was that Old Trooper?
