stripped of vanity
learning to appreciate
all things as graces

stripped of vanity
learning to appreciate
all things as graces

sitting in silence
walking with adrenaline
an orange surprise
noticing the little joys
that fill an ordinary life
another milestone
having tasted suffering
birthday cake’s sweeter
leaping from the pack
with gentle nudge of the foot
a well-crafted car
deer grazing on dew
heron pointing to first light
no sign of night’s storm
