LIVING BLISS

Saturday Morning
 Afternoon
 Night
 Teddy Bear and Bunny Bear
watching "Doc Martin", with me in the rocker out of frame
~*~ 
Though I lack the art
to decipher it,
no doubt the next chapter
in my book of transformations
is already written.
I am not done with my changes.
-Stanley Kunitz-

 Evening
"Ada"
She had an extra ticket for the crosstown bus and gave it to me

 ~*~


Scatter in me the seeds
Of a thousand saplings.
Let grow a grassy heaven.
On my brow: a sun.
This bliss is yours, Living
World, and alone it endures.

Ripe Rose Hips
Dry and Save for Winter

NOTE
Mild weather for two days but the heat and humidity
returns Monday Night for the week...and, so it goes.
