How do the eggs on my plate become<\/p>\n
the words I right now state?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is so much to do today!<\/p>\n
Doing nothing is probably the best option.<\/p>\n
But how does one do by not doing?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Outside, two, three, four chickadees flirting from<\/p>\n
feeder to branch and back to the feeder.<\/p>\n
Shaking, shrugging snow off their back<\/p>\n
oblivious of nature and her schemes, her dreams.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I wish there were an instrument I could dip into my coffee.<\/p>\n
It would tell me of all the hands that have touched this brew<\/p>\n
and bring me back to the field where it was born.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Two things I love the morning for –<\/p>\n
1. Waking up to discover what’s new in the world!<\/p>\n
2. The emptying. A bowel movement that lightens and sends me out into the day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When does the morning end?<\/p>\n
With the closing of the door and the starting of the car?<\/p>\n
With the splash of water on the face?<\/p>\n
With the last gulp of the first coffee of the day?<\/p>\n
With the precise pointing of the clock \u00a0or the warm, winking of the sun?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Morning. A kind of hangover so drunk we are of sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
