Thought for today:
“In the childhood memories of every good cook, there’s a large kitchen, a warm stove, a
simmering pot and a mom.”

ORBIT
We all have various orbits:
family, friends, fellow workers,
church, and then we had those old orbits,
classmates, teams, organizations that
more or less float away from us as well.
Where we crash, spin out of control,
become confused, is when we are
spinning in two different directions
at once - like having dinner with family
and being on a iPhone at the same time.
Then there is God - who somehow
can orbit in and around all of us -
all at the same time - but that’s
something we can’t do because
we’re not God, but we can try to be.

SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
“Okay, attention,” someone yells out.
“Choose, your instrument!”
“Today you’re to be a violin or a drum,
a horn or a base fiddle or a glockenspiel,
a cello or a flute or a clarinet or a bell ….
“Choose one and start playing.”
"Don't just take pictures!"
"Don't just walk by."
"Smile. Tap you toes."
"Feel the beat in your heart beat"
"Clap!"
"Don't just take pictures!"
"Don't just walk by."
"Smile. Tap you toes."
"Feel the beat in your heart beat"
"Clap!"
“Make music - while you’re alive.”

DISTANCE
It’s quite a distance
from the edge of a branch
to the edge of the moon -
as the branch tries to scratch
the moon’s hard rock back
and accept that it has craters.
It’s quite a distance
from the edge of now
to the edge of my body
in my casket box - but
touch my hand and say, “Hi!”
and hear me say, “Thanks!”
