Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.

Love needs new leaves every summer of life, as much as your elm-tree, and new branches to grow broader and wider, and new flowers to cover the ground.

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and abolitionist.  A native of the state of Connecticut, she was born in Litchfield.

Another Day

Another day

Another mountain

Faced with challenges

Finding wisdom’s fountain

 

Another day

Another unknown

Faced with emptiness

Finding one stepping stone

 

Another day

Another low tide

Faced with little hope

Finding tomorrow’s guide

 

Another day

Another question

Faced with mystery

Finding next suggestion

 

Another day

Another sunrise

Faced with certainty

Finding life’s clearest skies

Humble Moments (Haiku Series #294)

Dreamland Plays Out

Movie’s final scenes

Waiting for chilling finish—

Eyes lowered . . . the end!

 

Golfer’s Math

Water hole ahead

Bag’s cache of balls—down to one!

Errant, groaning splash

 

Uplifting Rendezvous

Endless highway miles

Welcoming faithful landmark—

Blessed home sweet home
