haiku

bleached white and bone bare

still reaching skyward giving

itself for support

A seagull broods on

the busyness of the beach,

alone in a crowd.

 Magical things do happen.

SGT Dominick Cutalo, Vietnam Veteran, on meeting Kathleen Ryan who was a young girl when she wrote a letter to servicemen in Vietnam in 1971. 

He replied and she traced him 51 years later. 

"With all what's going on in the world today this is a little bit of happiness. I can't find anything wrong at all with a little bit of happiness."

Seen on NBC News 23 July 2022. 🌞❤️🌻

The cats and I nap

under an open window.

The rainstorm moves on.

bales stand in a field

shoulder squared against shoulder

in another field 

they say don't be such a square 

man just let the good times roll

The grass is crunchy 

and the leaves are limp. Plants beg

me for a rain dance.

Heaven, Nirvana, The Afterlife...

 Heaven, Nirvana, The Afterlife...

Now we see through a glass darkly...

I think when we die, we no longer experience what things look like or sound like or even feel like. I believe that we will know what they really are. We will be able to know the individual atoms of a leaf and the entirety of the tree, of the Earth, of The Universe at the same time.
