The “splendid now”

  Hello friends, this 2017 poem celebrates my Zen masters, cats Max and Tony, experts at reminding me to connect with the "splendid now." I call this feline instruction "Zen Lite" in its insistent softness  -- no long meditation, no…

A fuller awakening

The poet Walt Whitman knew that all things were connected in a cosmic unity. As one ages the realization deepens that this unity has been there all along.

Thank you

I'd like to express my appreciation to all those who came to the Watkinsville Marigold Festival and purchased my books.

This is a wonderful honor for me, as well as the group of Athens poets who helped refine my poems weekly at Donderos' Kitchen over coffee and brownies.

Gentle mornings

i am more grateful for the early morning hours. Consider them a "gearing up" for the regular visits from Right at Home, regular exercise, and the helpful presence of Carl, my sidekick, who helps me remain active and writing these posts.
