Haven’t been on here much. Had a baby - turns out they are a lot of work - who knew?!

At this table we sing with joy, with sorrow. We pray of suffering and remorse. We give thanks. Perhaps the world will end at the kitchen table, while we are laughing and crying, eating of the last sweet bite.

from “Perhaps the World Ends Here,” Joy Harjo #poetry #poems

Laying across two laps, so worn out from chasing her cousins that she didn’t even try to sneak some cheese #bordercollie

Just casually hanging out, definitely not begging for belly rubs #bordercollie

me with Dvořák

Now shall I store my soul with silent beauty, Beauty of drifting clouds and mountain heights, Beauty of sun-splashed hills and shadowed forests, Beauty of dawn and dusk and star-swept nights. Now shall I fill my heart with quiet music, Song of the wind across the pine-clad hill, Song of the rain and, fairer than all music, Call of the thrush when twilight woods are still. So shall the days to come be filled with beauty, Bright with the promise caught from eastern skies; So shall I see the stars when night is darkest, Still hear the thrush’s song when music dies.

“The Days to Come,” Medora C. Addison #poetry
