Fresh prints in the snow
Marking time , ice kissed and
Alone, barren past
Fresh prints in the snow
Marking time , ice kissed and
Alone, barren past
Mellow
Sounds flow outward,
Precocious melodies
Bleed through every pore, sadness
Seeping, creeping and weeping its
Way into my conscience,
Into my heart
My soul
Time waits
For no one, cruel
Anticipation, a
Dark mask covers the unknown future,
Waiting, careful contemplation,
Each beat lost forever,
Stolen seconds
Await
A crisp, beautiful early December sunset in Mahopac, NY.
“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.”
-Rabindranath Tagore
“There’s a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they’re absolutely free. Don’t miss so many of them.”
― Jo Walton


My friend
Lies by my side,
Chest rising and falling
In rhythmic madness, eyes shifting
As dreams invade his being, his
Breath reasurring, calm,
Bringing peace to
Us all
Good morning everyone! Yesterday was a nasty morning with some snow and a little wintry mix here in the Hudson Valley of New York, but today is beautiful. A little chill in the air but the sky is blue with some wisps white. It’s a new day! I thought today I would share some of my favorite quotes with you to get you started and to think about the promise that each new day brings. I hope that you enjoy them!
“Today is a new day. It’s a day you have never seen before and will never see again. Stop telling yourself the ‘same crap, different day’ lie! How many days has that lie stolen from you? Seize the wonder and uniqueness of today! Recognize that throughout this beautiful day, you have an incredible amount of opportunities to move your life into the direction you want it to go.”
-Steve Maraboli
“Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most.”
-Buddha
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future. Concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
-Buddha
“Worrying doesn’t take away tomorrow’s troubles. It takes away today’s peace.”
-Dalai Lama
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
— Marcus Aurelius
Peace!!!
Fractured rays of light,
Nebulous sunrise provides
Diverse beginnings,
The new day sliding along
A razor thin precipice
Quiet calm sweeps over the woods as
Peaceful fluffy flakes softly fall.
Wrapped in a cloak of winter,
Each inhabitant surveys the new landscape,
As an unspoiled white blanket awaits.
The visual cues
Heed the call of a new day
Soul affirming peace
Sitting quietly
Soft sweet slumber surrounds me
Providing comfort
