Write about a dream you remember.
I think of dreams in the sense of hope, ideas, goals, and new growth.
early morning
after a day of rest
new dreams
begin again
clear night sky
October 2013
sunrise sun
through small spaces
in the clouds
how new dreams
may begin
Small steps over time . . .
January 2015
sun stillness
old and new growth
evergreens
some water
for the Christmas cactus
new buds grow
early June
ferns as tall
as the garden chair
kitchen window view this morning
Karl took these beautiful photos of our begonia yesterday.

To appreciate the growth – and we’ve had a lot of rain – here are two Spring photos.

My poem from May 24, 2019:
hosta plants grow
around the ash tree stump
an abundance of health
and new green
as if to say
we knew you would not
last the storm
we are here
there is new beauty now
new hope and a new time
And again today, plus hawkweed after rain in the same area of the yard.

early morning
and reading
many writers
each time I look
the sky has changed

This summer I am rereading books by Luci Shaw, along with a few poetry journals. Here and there I look at memoirs from thrift stores.
Always the Psalms – a place of stability and hope for me. So much room for growth. Sometimes good to read something new, and sometimes good to reread.
