It's been a long week, hasn't it? Last weekend I had a joyful visit with my son and daughter-in-law, only to have some of it dampened by more news of senseless killings. I feel I must write, to never forget this loss and those who will miss them. I do find peace in the outdoors and wish that for all of you, too.
An etheree
when
days bring
on despair
television’s
news-watching becomes
my only addiction
fiddling for the cold hard facts
until I have no need for more
I lean on that which offers solace
nature-made, dependable, bud escape
