Stray, unrefined, unfinished thoughts . . .

The Continuum of All Things

There's a point
At which the party-
Sized chip bag
Can't shrink
Any smaller
Before its paucity
Of ounces
Qualifies it
For a new name--
  Snack-sized
  A fiesta for two.

And there's a point
At which worry
Or pain or
(fill in any undesired thing)
Can't extend
Any longer
Without transforming
  Me
Into something else
  Entirely.

A Haiku of Sorts

Enemies and friends
Two sides of one coin, both use
Energy to spin.

Every north-south road we traversed was under construction, but, as my sister pointed out, we weren't at all annoyed, knowing that orange cones and heavy equipment meant work (employment, a job) for somebody.

Deep thoughts. At least you're thinking. I think my brain checked out long ago.

It is March now and windy. Time for kites. I prefer olive ones. :)

Olive kites with soul and awareness. :)
...and there comes a point.
Thank you.
