a day in the life

'A Day in the Life' 12x12" oil pastel;  Kathleen Faulkner

It is early. 
Fog horns sound in the distance.

Hawk lands on a pole and
surveys the field
planning her strategy for the morning kill.

It's a daily thing.

Hope Springs Eternal*

blank slate, as they say

 New Year
my favorite holiday
it is so hopeful


clean up time

This last year was not so horrible
personally
Some good things happened.

I'll have to work harder this year
more obstacles 

I can do it.


Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never is, but always to be blessed:
The soul, uneasy and confined from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
– Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man *
