Good morning from the Lakeside Deck ~

I’m thinking of Mary Oliver’s forever line, “what will you do with your one wild incredible life?”

Time is limited, yet should we root ourselves into time?

Truly life is nothing ordinary but by being alive we can see, perceive and understand. Oliver’s question is do we step back and take time to see this one blessed life?

Today, gusty winds are blowing here out on Lake Ann.

My morning write –

wind fans
scatter across Lake Ann

dancing to and fro

in early morning light

tree brances frame a cup of sky

and song birds shelter

underneath the evergreens
as the wind blows through
