skipping stones, barefoot, wading,
walking on rocks, talking, and resting
on a slow summer day on the river.

slow pace, long weekend away.
rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under the trees on a summer’s day,
listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the blue sky,
is by no means waste of time.

if you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need. – marcus tullius cicero
late morning
on the tiny deck
behind my tiny cottage
surrounded by a tiny garden
sharing this tiny space
with a
delicate spider
perched upon
champagne dreams roses
petals flying
orange cat
stretched out
on
weathered deck
under a cloudy sky
sipping
warm coffee
with
coconut cream
reading
listening
taking it all in
happy to share this space
all of us knowing
life is good.

exclusiveness in a garden is a mistake as great as it is in society.
