Month: December 2025

Tying my troubles with each shoe string,

I grab my sheep’s wool cover coat.

Stepping into a black early morning

of cold winds and silent surroundings.

I pick up the pace listening to

the quiet of the darkness and

the prayers within my consciousness.

I spend time paying attention to

the Christmas colorful lights flickering on

porches and roof tops, and lawns.

I continue to push myself,

checking my watch, and mileage.

My goal is soon to be complete ,

when I start to anticipate returning

back to a warm car.

All the while the darkness leaves

the dew of the morning on my shoulders.

What are your feelings about eating meat?

I don’t …

However , I do not sit in judgement of anyone who does.
