KidsFaithGarden Guest Blog

Today is a busy day for me. I'm also appearing as a guest blogger on Nicole Lataif's delightful KidsFaithGarden website with a post on using imagination to promote kindness.

Finally, I'd like to leave you with this musing on fall: 

Late September

I eat lunch under the glowering skies of late September.

Silence surrounds me until

I bite the succulent flesh of a peach,

Sweet remainder of summer, releasing 

The warble of goldfinches. 

Out of the corner of my eye I catch

The flit of a wing,

But it is only a yellowed leaf twisting in the wind.

Overhead, a winter jay calls.
