Here’s a link to my review in the Sacramento Book Review of Marie Ponsot’s excellent volume of poetry, Easy.

A Bowl of Flowers
During the right seasons, my middle son often brings me flowers. Today is was a fistful of dandelions and a little lavender weed. He was delighted with his find, and his delight was contagious. I know it’s cliche, but I really do think we would all be better off if we could see the world through a child’s eyes now and again.
Great Quote
“Don’t ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
-Howard Thurman
Fantastic Post on Writing
I read several blogs on writing, but this post by Patti Digh at 37days gets right to the heart of the matter. She’s blunt, but darn it’s nice to not dance around the heart of the matter.
And she’s right. Her advice applies to a lot more than writing.
Beautiful Moment
We were driving home the other day when I noticed these trees with the snow caps in the background.

Look Who Came to Visit Today!
We had a beautiful day here today.
Indeed, beauty was everywhere.
Apparently, it was also a good day for visitors.
This little fellow’s two friends were too cagey, but this little one let me take a picture.
And this lovely couple have been spending more and more time at the pond.
