any day where one can pull out
the vintage tea cups
is a good day

sometimes it pays
to slow down and take a closer look
at that something that catches your eye
in someone else's trash
a large bolt of burlap-type fabric
for next summer's outdoor oasis
score!

i vaguely remember
hearing about the 'movember' campaign
last year
this year, it seems everywhere i looked
it was all about the mo's!
this inaugural running of the mo's gathered
a small group of enthusiastic runners
determined to make it bigger and better
next year - kudos to them!

getting on stage is a bonus,
that's my therapy,
that's when I can tell stories
and it all makes sense.

once upon a time
there was a fish
who could read, but only with the help
of a magnifying glass.
one night, as he gazed upon a shooting star...

the path unfolds before you
but you stand there
frozen with fear
take the first step, friend
just take the step
lean into the unknown
and trust that you will be ok

offering countless opportunities

it was a beautiful day
to watch world-class long-distance runners

a splash of colour
in an otherwise dreary office building
but alas, it is to be gazed upon
with eyes only
i was prompty approached by a security guard
and told there was to be no photos
oh well, call me a rebel.

in loving memory of
bob t.
who shared my joy
in finding the folded chip in the bowl
a 4-hour train ride home
gives me plenty of time to reflect
and quietly celebrate
the life of bob
who left us too soon
yet taught us so much
