January haiku


Young twin pine branches 
lie on sun dappled sidewalk
 Premature passing

A Celtic Prayer for My Walking


As I slowly start down the stony steps,
     guide my balance O Lord.
With every unsteady step,
     I am upheld by your strong but gentle arm.
Give me the grace to learn with Bridget the treasured lessons of
     equanimity and compassion.
Bless my strivings as well as my discouragements.
O Protector of the wounded, enfold me 
in your loving protective care and keep me safe.

Adieu


Lake girded by fire
Lowering cyan clouds rise
Sun's hasty adieu
