North Loop trail
We must always be bound somewhere.
Bound for adventure or bound for glory.
In the great wide world,
Your own back yard,
Your mind and spirit.
We must always be bound for somewhere,
Otherwise, we are simply
Bound.

Whole
Halloween
It’s better to see all of one side
Than to
Half-see
Half of each.

Measure
For Winnie
If you bite off more than you can chew, sometimes if you shake the daylights out of it you can break it into smaller pieces.
(You may use alternate methods)
Or you can just keep chewing at it until you reach your goal.
Know when to just leave it on the lawn.

Push
Waiting
Don’t be afraid to demonstrate
Impatience
If the world is not moving
Fast enough.
Sometimes it needs a
Push.
Be resolute, firm, fair,
Generous, and gentle.

Successor
“Not-You”
Today she came into the kitchen from the outside.
She nudged that door open with her nose, poked her face in, fixed her eyes on me and walked in, tail gently swaying side-to-side, just as you would have.
Like seeing my granddaughter, whose face evokes the thought of my own sweet child, her name filling my mind and heart. Unable to pass this point, unable to get daughter’s name from my head, in desperation, I must call her “Not-Kerry.”.
I rise and close the door.
It was “Not-You.”.

Ignorance
Road to The Wonder Woods
Just because you
Don’t Know
You are
Beautiful,
Perfect,
And Precious to this
Great Cosmos
Doesn’t mean
It isn’t So.

Watchful
Patience a Virtue
Don’t turn your
Back on a
Possum just because
You think
It’s dead.
