The Fragrance of Now
Poems From The Porch
The sky cannot decide what to wear this morning
or rather simply to go naked.

with a determined crow motivating his flight.
Life, effusive and abundant,
is beckoning me to reveal my joy
as I join in the dance of generous engagement.
There is so much to prepare and offer as an act of self-giving,
