Day 15
The peace dove is a birthday gift from my sister. How special for this month of being in peace . . .another symbo, the dove, birds on wing that speak to us of being in peace.
Today it was a beach walk allowing the balmy ocean to wash and wave over my sandy bare feet .
Attending to the SWW work I need to do and to send 3 poems to Blue Heron Review.
If you are depressed you are living in the past,
if you are anxious you are living in the future,
if you are at peace, you are living in the present.
Lao Tzu
When things change inside you, things change around you.

And Mary Oliver tells us:
When it’s over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When it is over, I don’t want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.
I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.
