Gratitude List
(In Six-Word Couplets ala
New York Times’ contest):
Retirement's second act:
A second chance.
Aging as discovery:
Interiors and exteriors.
A good meal
with great friends.
Afternoon naps. Hot showers.
Fresh clothes.
Time, energy, strength:
Road trip map.
Creative effort -- and
what is created.
Lesson of my parents:
Loving example.
The tender heart
steadfast beside me.
Knowing what matters:
Relationship, relationship, relationship.
Molding the limits;
plumbing the depths.
We all walk
in wonder and loss.
And Earth persists –
stories to tell.
