Approaching the New Year December 29 2013
Approaching the New Year with trepidation.
Perchance the 13 is unlucky even in years.
I peruse my diary.
More loss than gain
The final sum.
We did have glorious times.
A Europe trip, the brightest jewel.
A writing group encouraging
Mindfulness, a book written
The final tally.
We bring with us into the new,
Not a clean slate, but the leftovers of life
Unresolved.
A friend with cancer, fighting,
A friend missing, foul play.
Nothing adds up.
Except for the friendships
born and renewed.
Family times cherished,
Engraved on our hearts
Forever multiplied.

Ode to Nelson Mandela
I cannot linger
When fair treatment falters
It’s warm embrace
Lost
I shiver in my oneness.
I cannot dwell on
Who defines greatness
But bask in the memory
Mindful
That I have lived in it’s time.

Ethos November 27 2013
Today I am mindful of memories of warmer climes,
Warm breezes, cold lemonade and daisies.
I feel regret for things that no longer are
Or will be exactly so again.
As I focus on the memories, I press them to my heart
Crushing the sweet fragrance of their blooms and inhale
Ethos.
