A New Day

"The Navajo teach their children

that every morning when the sun comes up,

it's a brand new sun.  It's born each morning,

it lives for the duration of ONE DAY.

And in the evening it passes on, 

never to return again.  
As soon as the children

are old enough to understand,

the adults take time out at dawn 
and they say,

'the sun has only one day.

You must live in this day in a good way, 

so that the sun has not wasted precious time.'"

Pema Chodron

On this day, I look around.  These tulips
reach out of their own pods, a bright, sunny welcome
letting me know that undeniably beauty surrounds me.

That inspiration abounds

Faces tell me that I am fearless

Remind me not to take things too seriously

To remember to play and glitz it up.

Or good luck is possible.  I won this bountiful arrangement at a raffle.

And then there is my studio

Waiting

To add color

Or maybe a little sass

And always sweet Reggie, my biggest fan.
