The world revolves symptomatic of that unseen
that becomes the invisible nemesis of people
on a planet named earth so old the beginning
of which cannot be counted in grains of sand
for there is not an hourglass large enough
to hold all the countless grains needed
to account for all that came before
for all that will come after
to enable mortal beings a bit of knowing
just a small cushion of comfort
telling all that live here
they will always be like
babes in the wood
unable to measure up
to countless millennia
of black holes starless
universes unknown

Thank you, Betty. It has been hit and miss during these last months. Not sure why except that everything on the planet seems to have been turned up side down…I’m sure you understand. So, I wait for my rather sleep muse to stir and put something down. Thanks for liking the art I create. I’ve always liked to put something with whatever I write. Must be the artist in me. Hope you are doing well also.

Renee, I do understand what you’re talking about — everything seeming upside-down right now. Hopefully this new year will be a better one for us all.
Sorry for this slow reply — I’ve been taking a mini-break…. plus also having trouble with my muse. January always seems to be a bad month with the fibro. Must be the weather?
Hope you’re doing as well as possible. Spring is coming! 🙂

Betty, Hope your muse comes to the fore for you. I believe for so many people it has been the societal norms turned upside down and then of course, the Winter does us no favors…those of us who are not Winter people. I always do better with sunshine so look forward to Spring and Summer. I haven’t been out to my studio, even, as I am helping my daughter by cutting masks she can sew and sell on her Etsy business site. Didn’t begin that way and now she is adding in other things. I believe everyone has long tired of masks and social distancing. I know I have and I am not even a ‘social butterfly’ as it were. People need people. It’s as plain as that. Do take care and hope you feel better. The cold Winter does a number on the pain issues for sure. 🙂

I agree with you, Renee. The social distancing has been the hardest. We do need people! (I’m sort of a recluse because of the fibro and was used to that, but this has been extra hard.)
My son turns 50 on Saturday and there’ll be no celebration. They did stop by for a brief visit on their way up to Seattle yesterday but we all wore our masks and were afraid to hug each other. It’ll probably be months before we see them again. (They live in Oregon.)
Anyway….hopefully we’ll all have warmer, brighter weather soon — and a return to normalcy in a few months. Spring cometh! 🌷

We are well, thanks, Renee! On the land all day with two men, clearing thorny brush from the acequia. Will hopefully begin burning it next weekend. Good for the soul. We want to bring this ranch back to life! Nice the local Spanish/Apache approve. They have taken care of this land, irrigated it with the acequias, for hundreds of years up here on this mountain. So I’m having far more fun doing that than writing, these days. It’s why my checking in is so sketchy. But word press is important to me as well.
Blessings! 🙏😘
