The song says "My life goes on in endless song..." My life goes on in daily repetition. Frequently I have to check my watch to see what day it is...not that it matters much. Most mornings there's an outside project that provides exercise and diversion. This morning it was a walk on prairie pasture in pursuit of pests. (The native grasses return. 😊) Frequent walks keep me in reasonable shape. News papers come online. Investing too much in their success I wait to see if the Lynx win and if they do I watch the replay. Readers of this blog are well aware that books are an important part of my routine. Phone calls fill my people bladder daily. All in all it's a very pleasant life and I feel blessed and grateful.

When This is Over
When this is over,
may we never again
take for granted
A handshake with a stranger
Full shelves at the store
Conversations with neighbors
A crowded theater
Friday night out
The taste of communion
A routine checkup
The school rush each morning
Coffee with a friend
The stadium roaring
Each deep breath
A boring Tuesday
Life itself.
When this ends
may we find
that we have become
more like the people
we wanted to be
we were called to be
we hoped to be
and may we stay
that way — better
for each other
because of the worst.
Takk for alt,
Al

What a wonderful reminder of the little daily things that, going forward, we will never take for granted or assume. May we all look at what this day does hold and pause to celebrate it. Thank you for sharing what you read and find offers deep meaning. Blessings, Marilyn
