Work ethic
When in my 20s, 30s, and 40s, I had a strong work ethic. My little boys needed a working mama to provide them with the necessities and extras of life. I would pride myself on being punctual and always right on time. If my job needed me to put in extra hours, I would. Decades I spent like this. Being the good mother, wife and worker. Divorce came after 20 years, my sons went away to college and grew up. A move to the south and a new culture changed me in ways I couldn't have predicted.
Another move at age 50 back north brought profound change. (Or was it the age? Who knows). My northern comrades appear to judge me as non competitive, unmotivated $ wise. But I believe I've hit onto a golden secret. That "nothing really matters, at all"!!
Nothing Really Matters, EXCEPT:
Kindness
Love and
Beauty!!

Local
A.M. Radio listening, Buy, Sell and Trade.
Technological wonders of today
Turned off this morn.
Local news interrupts
Yankee accents abound.
Knitting his hat, staying in p.J's

Winter rain
Hovering dog needs to walk.
Drizzly sky refuses to stop.
Dangerous cold is past, for now.
Legs need Earth to pound.

Morning ritual
Match sticks too old to light,
go to the stove, ignite.
Bring in candles
incense too.
Sit at your desk
As pen plays on paper.
Jot this, ponder that.
Calm your mind, sip tea.
Hours can pass
often do.
Life IS a dream,
just be you.

2014
New year without meaning
Time only, this moment
Fear, that evil companion.
Leave me my true thoughts
Not your dark translations.
Focus good
Doing
Action
Change direction
"Sky's the limit?"
