Finding the good. Noticing the beautiful.
Searching for peepers
the best first sign of Spring
We find the enthusiastic ensemble
many voices vying to be heard
"Why are you all yelling?" I say

No one tells me why
only that they must

I hope you sigh with the weight of love
I hope you have more smile wrinkles than worry wrinkles
I hope you breathe in the smell of coffee and warming spring earth
and I hope that you notice the times that goodness seeps into your soul

This morning it was necessary to sit in the sun and write rage poetry.

Do the next right thing.

I find this,
how to keep open and transparent,
while also being the right amount of protective,
hard.

Your softness in a world with hard edges is brave.
Your honesty in a world that numbs is brave.
To be here and fall in love with
the wide winter sky,
the curved limbs of an undressed tree,
the burst of scent from an orange peel,
over
and over again
is brave.
.
I hope you do it often.

I took a cold cold walk on the day of the longest night.
