rhyme

the mind is a curious device
works with what it knows ain't so
as if as if were so enough
to add to what we know

Happy New Year!

Have a wonderful 2012!  Have a splendid 2012!

poem

I found
a heap of words
cast out
or dropped
piled
waiting
and made it
my task
to put them all
in order
as
this

how to live

Found a wonderful quotation from G.K. Chesterton:  "We need so to view the world as to combine an idea of wonder and an idea of welcome."

Modifying that for empowerment (instead of necessity):  live so you are open to wonder and to a sense of welcome.

A sense of welcome!  Can it be as simple as that?  Live so we are open to it and it shows up?
