Still in Time
Wait a moment.
You can’t possibly pass by
the Linden
that’s more commonly Lime,
both near and faraway
up, up into the sky
growing
even as we sigh.

When you come upon it
still in time
it fills your ears
with honeying bees
loving it best
of all the trees,
not the only ones
with their minds so full
of its lasting perfume.
Today is my 60th birthday and I thought this rather formless poem captured my reflection on reaching this milestone which is, after all, just another day to be ‘still in time.’
“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live.”
― Dalai Lama
Also, it is just a few days past the 2nd anniversary of my blog, and I must thank all of you who have visited me here, many who have become dear friends and in-spirators in art and writing and just living from the heart and spirit. Blessings to you all and I hope the connections I have made will last a long long time!
