What we fear doing most is usually what are most we most need to do.

Monday Memories: Hamlet’s Summer Day
The inspiration for this poem comes from a photograph published on Jan’s blog in her “Wordless Wednesday” post. Check out her site for some wonderful poetry, inspiration, photography, and so much more. There is probably a hint (yes, definitely) of the rustic and tranquil life experienced in the small communities of western Montana.

Picturesque, isolated hamlet
Resting below mountainous shadows
Nestled along lake’s calming fingers
Life’s narrative writing tranquil prose
Sunrise crawls over the mountaintop
Cruising silently in their small boat
Early to rise anglers find their spot
Baiting hooks for trout with rainbow coats
Soon village shops begin to open
Curious shoppers fill crowded streets
Welcoming Farmers’ Market today
Locals selling homegrown goods and treats
Later, stillness returns to the town
Sunny, summer day comes to an end
Sun setting behind lake’s dozing shore
Waiting for tomorrow’s best friends

A. W. Pink Quote
True liberty is not the power to live as we please, but to live as we ought.

Robert Fulghum Quote
What’s necessary to live a meaningful life–that isn’t all that complicated. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School.
From Proverbs 5:5-6: “Get wisdom; get insight: do not forget nor turn away from the words of My mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you.”
Robert Fulghum (born 1937) is an American author.
