Tsunami The Benefit of Doubt
Tsunami : The Benefit of Doubt
A crack in
Our armored heart.
A seizure in
Our brain waves.
A tsunami of
Possibilities.
A way to
calm anger.

Mother’s Breath
Mother's Breath
So small we hardly notice,
The efforts of our mothers.
They hold us captive in daily rituals.
Time reveals strength, wisdom,
Humor, and sacrifice
Wrapped in desire.
From thin air they give us
Their passion.
Who could ask for anything more.

Science– What does it mean to advance forward and stay in place?
Science
To know is to separate.
One thing from another.
Sigh-hence
A pause born of separation.
Hence, we can move
From here to there
Or anywhere.

Pool of Reflection
Pool of Reflection
Hidden in the norm,
Of anyone’s day
A moment of inattention
Let’s lose the unknown.
Within the loss of familiarity
A well of darkness
Pools until reflections emerge.
Held within, past joys
Shimmer and shake to repair.

Magical Suitcase
Abbe’s Ruminations November 2023
Magical Suitcase
Welcome to my newsletter, Abbe’s Ruminations. I mull, contemplate, ponder – old and new experiences, finding what I call the joy and laughter of repetition or the abandonment to not knowing.
Travel, of one kind or another, begins with packing. I’m a practical packer based on need and my limitations. The constant that follows me is my short height, thin frame, stubbornness, need for warmth, color, and self-sufficiency.

The Unexpected–Surprise
Unexpected-- Surprise
I want to live with surprise,
And let my heart rise.
I want attention to be my guide,
And let my ego slide.
I want nothing,
To receive all things
I want to live,
Before I die.

Calculations
Calculations
If I miscalculate
Ignore the signs,
The heart and soul retreat.
If I miscalculate
And reverse course
We may never meet.
If I miscalculate
And fail to see the view
Old excludes the new.
If I miscalculate
I might miss you.

Waiting in Line
Waiting in Line
Why the impatience?
As if life slips away,
With seconds ticking.
View moments as
Spaces of enlightenment.
A child’s wonder of an ant,
An elder humming
With a robin.
Life doesn’t wait.

Grandfather Tree
The Grandfather Tree
I was only three years old, when they found me asleep in
The folds of your roots already you hand rings so thick,
That you bulged.
By the time I was five I could climb up the folds
to your bottom branch.
Still thin, young in tree-age.
You became my fortress.
Hidden among the leaves,
I peered at the world. sat with the birds,
Thought a bit.
You aged reaching for the sky
And I rose with you.

Breezeways; take the wind inside
Breezeways
Take the wind
Inside.
Let it flow
Through open walls.
Doors disappear.
The sweet scent of honeysuckle
Mingles with the buzz of bees.
Trees sway
Untangling thoughts
A clean sweep
Of leafy debris
Shuttered
Against storms
Impermanent transitions
Breezeway
Abbe would love to connect. You can find her at http://www.abberolnick.com
