Not I …
What are your feelings about eating meat?
I don’t …
However , I do not sit in judgement of anyone who does.
Early Morning
What things give you energy?
In the still darkness
Of early morning fog
My faithful tree keeps me company
I listen for the subtle distant cricket
Crescendo breaking silence
The greenness calls me
Prayer and meditation
I will run and then my day.
Definer
Describe something you learned in high school.
Allow no one to define you, no matter how sophomoric they see you . You are the determiner of your own destination.
High school will be the first place you learn culture .
The Soul in Me
Do you ever see wild animals?
I ran in the middle of Alaska snow
As long as I ran I did not know
There were always a wild creature
Soon waiting for me .
It could have been a moose who looked
As I ran by and turned and took
Another way always seemed best
Among the snow and quiet unrest
A moose is kind but unafraid
And has chased after me, many a day
Then there were the large ravens flight
Who ran and skipped and flew in-spite
Of seeing me just ahead
and never reasoned never dread
A red fox came by once and peeked
Then on his way with his swift feet
Snow brown bear in the distance
Bison’s caught some resistance .
If you venture to go running in Alaska terrain
Be prepared for anything from snow to rain
Scotland
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
My family has roots
In a far away land
Where green is green
Among the sand
Of nearby shores
Surround the past
But the Celtic blood
Still runs the mast .
So the wind blew
Through open sea
And brought with it
A Celtic Me.

Silence
What do you listen to while you work?
The sound of silence …
Or a whispered breeze
Or a sound of my pin oak leaves
Or an inspiration
That enters my head
It is the sounds that go quietly instead
With the sound of silence .
