Down a country road,
he let his horse lead him home

over inclement weather ...
Friday trumps rainstorms.

Will our lives collapse
into some financial mess?
Sure ... Ya happy now?

Strolling through the park,
I can feel my focus shift.
Nature affects me.

Take a chance, today.
Put your fears aside and LEAP
into the unknown.

that’s on your mind, let your day
begin quietly.

this morn, in a dew-y glen,
I nodded, he hopped.

send aromas wafting through
the nearby schoolyard.

it can send him to the moon.
So ... he makes her laugh.
