Don’t be afraid, my
Little one. I’m with you here.
There’s joy to be had!

To see clearly, I
Need compassion, not judgment.
That’s the bottom line.

Now you leap over
Things you had trouble climbing
Over weeks ago.

Ancient hurts offered
Iron-fisted protection.
Too heavy for now.

Casey just sat on
My favorite Lady Slipper.
It’s what puppies do.

PS: How’s it going, Katie?

Following Finn through
The forest. Such fine times for
This pup named Casey.

Casey is a new addition to the family and is fitting in famously after not even a week. She and Finn have hit it off, and Finn (the Westie) is definitely the boss of the Standard Poodle puppy. As Bogie said in Casablanca, ” I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.”

Snow melts away and
Finn sniffs his footprints here and
There. Remembering?




Finn as a wee pup with her buddy Caleb. They were such pals (although he needed to take the part of the long-suffering one from time to time, as she loved to pull his ears).

Places where you were
Sweetly echo your presence
And we remember…



Yesterday we had to put down our 14-year-old boy. His absence is a big presence today.

Be aware of the
Thought rather than thinking the
Thought. Such freedom there.

Let Saquan break the
Record against his old team.
Poetic justice.








…with apologies to every reader who:
* Doesn’t know what I am talking about and
* Isn’t interested, either.

But, will you look up ‘noetic’?

Here, I’ll save you the time: “Something that is noetic has to do with thinking and reason. If you praise your friend’s noetic abilities, you think she’s very smart. Use the adjective noetic to describe intellectual thought, like the triumph of the noetic part of your brain over your instincts.”

PS: Happy New Year!
