DETECTIVES ALL

 

We’re all Watson or Holmes,

Agatha Christie or Nancy Drew

and we’re trying to figure out

the daily crimes and sins

of those around us.

We then play the part

of judge and jury. We

then publish and proclaim

others’ crimes – without

taking the time for our own.

Maybe that’s exactly what

we’re doing.  Exactly or maybe.

LOOKED  FOR?

 

What a nice feeling to know -

just know, you’re sure of – that

you were looked for – wanted –

and the other or others let you

know that when you show up.

Got that? Now let those you

wait for – know you are

looking for and waiting for them.

Nice doing that? So do that.

Try that….

LURKING

It’s a thing to do

every once in a while:

to notice what’s lurking

in the bushes outside our mind.

It could be fears, loses, problems.

To make them more specific

is the smarter thing to do –

like my brother dying or

a niece’s marriage getting shaky –

or that new boss at work.

Could be anxieties or fears.

Fears I can name them;

Anxieties are crawling ants

that I can’t really name yet.

Keeping calm and talking

to someone seem to be

two solutions or easers

to put into practice -

like putting lights on

the outside of our house.

What’s hiding in those bushes?

APRIL  FOOL

 

I can be a fool any day,

not just April 1st – not just

when I don’t pause before I speak or act.

Stepping back is the step to take.

Remembering is also key.

Also questions – questions are

always better than statements.
