I am because of who we are ... I think?

Cicadas

There is something oddly relaxing about sitting alone in the shade in the summer listening to the very loud cicadas going on and on and on ….and on…

The Cowboy Way There's some things that's wrong An' there's some things that's right At least, that's what I allus say An' when y'kin tell it An' choose what's the right Yer livin' the Cowboy Way Y'don't cheat at cards Y'don't steal a man's drink It's wrong t'make fun of a child Y'don't stay a settin' When ladies come in Y'don't run around bein' wild It's wrong t'shoot game Jist t'see if y'kin Y'don't pass off a coin that's a fake It's right t'give praise When y'see somethin' good To admit when you've made a mistake Y'don't sleep in church Er sing hymns in a bar Y'don't talk when another man is Y'don't mistreat horses Er laugh at a death A Cowboy won't take what ain't his It's right t'be truthful T'say when yer wrong Not put up yer gun lest y'clean it It's wrong t'git drunk An' t'fight with a friend Er be bad an' then say y'don't mean it Yes, some things is wrong An' some things is right That's what a real cowboy will say An' when y'kin tell it An' choose what's the right Yer livin' the Cowboy Way by Hal Swift

Now take back the soul of Denys Finch Hatton  who you have shared with us. He brought us joy, and we loved him well. He was not ours, he was not mine. Tania Blixen

Letter to a Longtime Friend I have an amaryllis in a pot on the sink. They grow so fast you can watch the buds  expand and burst into showy color. This one is bright red streaked with white, its petals velvet, soft to the touch. I wish it were beside you. by Mary Lou Taylor

Gratitude List

by Laura Foley

Praise be this morning for sleeping late, the sandy sheets, the ocean air, the midnight storm that blew its waters in. Praise be the morning swim, mid-tide, the clear sands underneath our feet, the dogs who leap into the waves, their fur, sticky with salt, the ball we throw again and again. Praise be the green tea with honey, the bread we dip in finest olive oil, the eggs we fry. Praise be the reeds, gold and pink in the summer light, the sand between our toes, our swimsuits, flapping in the breeze.
