a day in the life

.

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 *
