Circadian Reflections




It has just turned September,
and July and August
have condensed into
a
time
capsule...

swimming lessons, reunions, overnights,
visitors, camping, marshmallows, birthday parties,
Annapolis Basin sojourn,
meeting with old friends, and talking ‘til three,
swimming at the lake, and in the ocean,
walks with dog, gardening, and
l   a   w   n    m   o   w   i   n   g,
arrivals and departures,
hellos and farewells,
“I love you,” mouthed at departing planes...

to be examined at leisure
during long,
                     cold,
                             dark,
                                       January evenings,
as fireplace and Jameson’s
inspire, and enhance,
the joy of remembering,
and living,
my life.

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
