just kidding
Are your jokes landing?
grass clippings
left out in the sun
by the son
…
the joke
can land
or fall short
it all depends
on if the audience
actually understands
what we’re trying to say
much to do
What are you fitting into your day?
pruning day
tracing the shadow
of rhododendron
…
so much to do
so little time
yet take time
as there is always
something special
for those willing
to take things slow
impressive
What do you find admirable?
opening wide
squirrels leave behind
a dozen acorns
…
we should admire
the skills
the traits
the talent
the effort
the energy
that others hold
stay or go
When do you know it’s the right time to go?
highway sign
hugging the road
under desert sun
…
the path
laid out
before us
becomes clear
when we realize
where our time
is better spent
a matter of
What perspective do you carry today?
mole holes
mounds of dirt
mountains for ants
…
perspective
is all it takes
for us to
have a better
understanding
of others
and ourselves
false alarm
smoke pillowing
the wind taking over
a sunny day
…
just because
it wasn’t a real
emergency today
doesn’t mean
we shouldn’t be
prepared for when
things get real
invitation
Who are you welcoming into your life?
fallen twigs
between spaces
on the fence
…
to be ourselves
may be seen as
the first step
on the outside
but truly accepting
ourselves is actually
the core of it all
the reframe
Who do you agree and disagree with?
door left ajar
afternoon sunset
cuts the carpet
…
as soon as
we see something
from someone else’s
point of view
we will discover
if our perspective
is shared or not
change the channel
What message are you aligned with?
wrapping around
over and over and over
the hose relaxes
…
when we
aren’t aligned
with the message
will do wonders
to put into perspective
what we connect
and vibe with
undercooked
Are you prepared?
crosses
on the loaf
after the fire
…
the result
isn’t the main
issue or problem
for us it is the lack
of preparation
and attention
to detail
