Just thought I'd share what I saw in the garden yesterday. It is such a refuge for me. It is more of a wild place for a wild part of me. This year despite the early heat and the relentless rain, the garden has flourished better than it has in years. The wildlife is incredible, though hard to photograph. I need this in my life. ..this place of healing where I can sit on the deck or in the grass and just be. I especially love the early morning with its promise of a new day told to me by glorious sunrise and the song of the robin....oh I hope I hear that on my last day on earth..or maybe on my way into my digs. And I love late afternoon and dusk...where the robins sing a lullabye from the tops of trees and roofs. I couldn't be happier anywhere else....happy at home.

morning light
come to me in
song
from the robin
and spread your
brightess over
my garden
and when it is time
for you to travel on
leave in the
comforting notes
of the red breast
