Haiku Gratitude
Not heavenly cloud
but tulip opening wide
dazzling my eyes
Two ripe oranges
one exquisite bar of soap
balm for tongue and skin
Soft knitted green scarf
love woven in every stitch
warm heart and spirit
A thought on a blog
the response opens new worlds
Spirit surfing web
Dying is simple
when embraced by your presence
grace must be like this
Have we lived before
each life must be a wonder
this one is best

Aah. Thank you for this beauty. Today we cut down several very large, yet diseased trees. We watched all day w/ amazement and sadness as they were felled. We asked that the woodchips be left behind and the end of the day found our driveway overflowing with an extremely large mountain of incredibly delicious smelling wood chips. The aroma is wafting up and down the entire neighborhood. The kids are running up and down pronouncing themselves "Kings" and "Queens" of the "Woodchip Mountain." Breathing all of the wonderful smells, enchanted by the sound of our kids, Breean and I just stand in witness to the transformation of these beautiful yet ailing trees. And of course, we think of you.
