one bed
all tangled up and diagonal
elbows
knees
arms

stays asleep
gets scooped back up
put in the middle
folded into the mix
morning comes
and

My friend Beth writes one of the most eclectic and entertaining blogs I know. From her sharp-edged quotes to her absolutely awwww-inspiring tales of her kindergarten class, her life becomes free verse, centered.
I asked her to join me as a guest blogger for my themed Vacations and Holidays posts while I’m away this month, and she sent me a wonderful piece on the journey to that most human of emotions—compassion.
