Beauty Day 155 Mt Rainier Goodbye

Mt Rainier

silent guardian of Seattle

so large it dominates

any nearby horizon

seldom shows its face

its fullness most often lying hidden

At goodbye time today

it came to wave me away

in full revelation of its splendor

and stand at signal salute

until the plane carrying me home

had disappeared into the sky

Beauty Day 154 Mellow Sunday 

Spring has sprung finally in Seattle

one month ago just rain

and buds waiting to blossom

they’re full now picture perfect

and the warm sun draws cats and people

out of doors to barbecue

and savor the richness of being

family together

Beauty Day 153 Legos

A mind rarely still

a tongue always on the go

a body busy all day

half an hour

of concentrated legos

was almost like meditation

in little granddaughter’s

world that

I forget to blog

Beauty Day 151 National Day of Prayer

Father

I lift before you

our nation’s leaders of all persuasions

that you would protect them

I lift before you all people in our country

that you would bless them

I ask you

because I don’t know anyone else

who knows as much as you know

who has as much power as you have

and who loves us all as much as you love all of us

in Jesus’ name

christianajesu

amen

Beauty Day 150 Morning Walk

Beauty’s sharp sometime edges

surprise

halting the flow of motion

as time drifts by

all is normal green bland

when Suddenly–!

there’s beauty 

with definite boundaries

not a blur

someone planted these roses

and forgot they are here

although I’m sure a gardener

most likely tends them

Beauty Day 149 CD Disc

No I don’t use CD discs any more

my granddaughter has a player

age 3 1/2

I’ve included her favorites and mine

Frozen x3

that way mom won’t have to keep running

to start it over again

should be good for 11+ minutes

then Nutcracker

she was a mouse

in the ballet last Christmas

finally Keaggy instrumentals

and Thiele

it’s the present she expects

when I go to her house

hope she’s still into Elsa the queen and Anna

hope she likes her gift

Beauty Day 148 Avocado Omelette

Every now and then

it’s good to slow down

and cook a decent breakfast

’cause an avocado omelette

is good for the eyes

the psyche

and the tummy

especially when facing

a nerve-wracking Monday

Beauty Day 147 Wendy

Over at a friend’s house

for a friend and family barbie

no one knows anyone really

just pockets of people

who know one or two

but conversation flows freely

and soon all are happy

the one thing we have in common

each of us knows and loves Wendy

who began it all by inviting

the people in her life she loves
