Practicing Gratitude

Sunday April 27

Today I am grateful for:

Having time.
Being able to sit in the garden.
The colour blue - of all the flowers out right now.

Practicing Gratitude

Saturday 26 April

Three things I am grateful for today:

The sound of the sea.
The chance to meet good friends.
The ease of talking to them.

I could add more - but I promised myself three things. Small steps. Every day. Rather than big steps every now and then.

Sky in October

I went to catch the sky: West first, then in the other direction. Then the pinks disappeared very quickly - but two planes high above had the sun.

If I can post images, I will.

Late fruit again

Late ripe raspberry
picked, eaten, sweet.
One overripe left for birds.

Late Fruit

I picked a late ripe raspberry in the garden today, and eat it. Another one, overripe, and a couple of not quite ripe ones, I left on the bush. The one for the birds, the others for a later picking.

On the train back home, just after sunset:

Cattle black as night
loom through curtain of dusk drawn
across water meadows.

After the dream

The first small thing I wrote in ages. It arrived after I woke from a dream.
I tried to put it into a Haiku.

In my dream your eyes
saw me. By day I saw you
graze in greener grass.
