February: Day Nine



Awaken this morning

to a snowy landscape 

Open your senses and go outside

Smell the crisp scent of silence

Taste the cold on your tongue

Breathe in the beauty through your eyes

Feel the earth's contented sigh

Hear its joy as it receives 

Mother Nature's gift

February: Day Seven




When I was small

and it snowed

I made a snowball

and went sledding

That's all I want to say

February: Day Five



Near Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia
2012


What if I greeted

this day with a smile

and the belief that 

something wonderful

will happen

instead of this frown

and a mind busy

with thoughts of

how to ward off

all the things that

might go wrong?
