What gets left behind
with our unmade minds
forever rushing?
What do we leave behind
if we did not take the
the time to notice?
What is no longer mine
because neither you nor I
could take our time?

look around
Be thankful
for what you have, for
what you have to let go of,
and for those who are still
with you. Gratitude comes
in many forms. Look around.
Be thankful.

cloud songs
It is only silence and only
for now, a minute or three
but who is counting?
Enough, for now.
Slight Repose, a little grace,
enough until you have
found your place. Might be
morning, or the end of the day,
yet it is time to yourself anyway.
For now.

I'm like a pencil;
sometimes sharp,
most days
well-rounded,
other times
dull or
occasionally
broken.
Still I write.

Get Your Shot

More than 60 percent of Canadians have received a first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, while eight percent of the country is considered “fully vaccinated”.
I know the number went it up slightly yesterday as I took my second shot.
Variants aside, and with a couple of weeks to allow this juice to circulate and be absorbed through my body, I will be considered fully vaccinated.
I’m relieved.
It’s a pretty big step.
I got a little emotional.
I realized that soon, while still taking precautions, we will all be able to gather closer with friends and family.
This shot allows me to dream a little more of soon seeing my daughter.
I’m now more confident than optimistic of months and weeks until travel, rather than the unpredictable inevitable.
We will be able to hug soon (soon being a relative term).
Remember, this vaccine is not just for you; it is for everyone.
Get your shot when you can, as soon as you can.
