Fog bands obstruct view
Clearings reveal my path
In broken fragments

Fog bands
Obstruct view
Alternating with
Clear pathways

Before the kid handed me my drill:
"In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."
She blessed every one of my tools before handing them to me.

Christmas Eve
Simple dinner
Perfectly unspecial
Present exchange
Evening relaxation
No fighting
Singing child
Guitar playing
Cigar outdoors
Bright stars
Especially perfect.

Scrooge was proud of the grandkid for having a "humbug attitude" and refusing to say "Merry Christmas" at the end of a long but great day!

Singing: "Wanna say, love your hair. Here I go, tumbling" on repeat for many miles... It was great!

Fish-bowl barriers
battered noses
rigid limits...
peaceful acceptance
reflection revelation
elevated exit

Deck destroyed
Sidewalk shattered
Strings stretched
Holes hewn
Concrete cured
Help... Imposed
Gratefully accepted.
Drinks drank
Pizza, Pies
Wonderful weekend!

"Mimi your flowers!"
They were transplanted...
"Mimi your deck!!!"
We're demolishing it to replace it...
"MIMI!!! YOUR HOUSE IS BROKEN!!!"
The siding is pulled back to work in the deck.

My mind... Empty.

So many words.
So little said.

Busy day
Running late
Schedule packed
Self imposed

Guiltily paused...
Multiple colors
Clouds, blocking
Brilliant sunrise

One instant
Singular, Unique,
Nearly lost
Countless are

Solving The World's Problems
Evening
Porch
Words:
Decompression,
Discussion,
Debate...
Heated?
Warmth.
Empathy,
Growth,
Connections...
Family
Memories.

"Head, shoulders, knees, and toes."
Into a fake microphone... about 200 times... From a mobile stage shaped like a shopping cart... at Wal-Mart.
