RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME
Everything has its own look:
Potatoes, turnips, cheese cake -
Chocolate cookies and milk –
A copy of the New York Times.
a baseball game on TV.
So too Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
So too the people on my street
and the person next to me at work.
And that’s only what I see.
Imagine how different they are in person?

INDIFFERENCE
Just keeping cool….
Not letting
anything get in the way….
Putting a
lukewarm wet towel on my emotions ….
Listening ….
In touch
with what’s happening ….
Maybe ….
Wondering ….
Seeing all
the possibilities ….
Accepting
what I’m not sure about ….
Breathing ….
Being ….
Time is
happening ….
I don’t have
to solve everything ….
Not that
easy to be indifferent ….
Knowing a
month from now I’ll be in the calm next ….
Not blaming
myself for doing so little ….
My earlier
years I was different and doing ….
Not now, but
I’m enjoying a lot more.

Quote for Today
"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
Elie Wiesel (1928- )
in U.S. News and World Report

ALMOST
Much of life
is almost.
The pie
crust is fine but ….
I wrote the
letter and I could have
added a few
more comments, but ….
Almost did
that, but time happened.
Almost a perfect
day – but a few
rain clouds
slipped into the afternoon sky.
Said a
prayer – almost without distractions –
but second
thoughts about supper arrived….
