723. keep paddling….

sun goes down

and the shadows creep up—

keep paddling

*

little clipper 

holds steady toward the bridge….

tide lowers down

Life’s interesting. Sometimes it feels like life‘s just one thing after another. Just when you think you’ve got it all figured out and it’s smooth sailing ahead, something else shows up. I keep telling myself don’t worry too much about what’s up ahead, it’ll all work out—just keep paddling….

722. brown is brown

….and the butterfly 

fluttering high in the sky

settles down

*

sun on our backs

this butterfly and i….

down-to-earth

 

Yesterday’s butterfly was on blue, today it’s brown. Could be it true?….we’re all here in the same boat between heaven and earth, just living life, doing our best, one day at a time, this time around. 

I can’t be sure which part of this dream is me and which part is the butterfly. 

721. blue is blue

….and the butterfly

floating on velvety wings

out of the sky

*

blue is blue

the butterfly flutters by

then floats

*

floating

no longer fluttering,

at peace….

 

This butterfly, floating no longer flying, brought me to a place of peace.
