It Doesn't Take Much

it doesn't take much 

i glance around and notice comfort

Good Tidings

left out all year to remind me of my friend Carole

large heart also from her

tangibles to connect 

simple scene of waiting mail

  details

glimpse of sunshine and reflected antler, a morning gift

dark hearts are hidden among the light

i have learned this 

i intentionally surround myself 

with reminders of the universe

affirmation needed 

 good times remembered

 summer days with DD and Shakespeare

cloth from the costumes of '03

soon to be a graduation gift - "fabric of our lives"

 loved patina of this fountain..but silent

except for annoying motor

life is not etched in granite

evaluate, repair, give away or walk away

flotsam and jetsam

some folks 

seem busy for the sake of busy

wallow and thrive... in drama

keep digging instead of climbing out

the universe coughs up a lot

but you almost always have choices

i threaded wire through tubing and attached it bent...

now a lovely sound is tucked into a corner

evaluate - repair

added orphan door to tabletop

cloche brought in from outside

sometimes it takes a while to notice

a good pairing

evaluate - re-pair

 my polka dot cup of Joe

suits the tableau

suits me

“If you want a golden rule that will fit everything, this is it: Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” 
― William Morris

simple comforts

it doesn't take much

embrace what works 

stop tolerating what does not

 discover what truly matters

and what doesn't

make things happen for you

not to you
