Happy Birthday Misty

Yesterday was a special day, when we celebrated Misty’s 13th birthday.

Happy happy birthday sweet Misty and thank you for all the love and joy you share!

We never know how much time we are given to walk this earth and we are so grateful for the pleasure of walking here with you.

Puente Poetry: Clear Pools

crystal clear pools
between rocks and sand
are a part of you
and the joy you spread

~ in your twilight years ~

becomes part of us too
when the sound of the sea
on the outside and the inside
dreams our world

Haibun: Waymarkers

After a frosty night, the sun warms the day. The light shines through leafless trees, glitters in the brown heather. A sandy trail meanders through gorse and pine towards the sea.
