Searching for the zen
Takes time in lives of chaos
Breathe deeply and chill

Senses
His voice was low, soft and sweet
Dripping molasses, slow and smooth
Hands were rough and brown, as was his face
He smelled like leather, wood and ashes
His clothes were clean blue cotton
Worn with no planned fashion
He walked with a determined gait
As if every step had a purpose.
I watched him for a while
Took in every detail with interest
The perfect man in my dream.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt #113
I didn’t see it at all
At least not that I recall
The vision that made me first fall
I only heard his southern drawl
What words his language mauled
No, not impressed or enthralled
Then he turned, a rough hewn call
With hat and boots, and leather haul
Quickly forgot the language pall.

5. Flying.
6. Why would I waste pancakes on a doghouse?

Word of the Day: Bucolic
I grew up in a bucolic setting. I was privileged to be surrounded by country, complete with grass, trees, forest, brooks, swamp and hills. We had stone walls separating our fields from brown dirt roads, and one of my favorite pastimes was seeking out unusual rocks. I climbed trees, went ice skating and sledding, swimming, and building dams in the brooks, and hunted vining ground plants for Christmas wreaths in the woods. I searched spring meadows for the first blooms of the season, dodged tent caterpillars hanging from huge trees, swung from haylofts on unsteady ropes, and marveled at the sun shown colors on rainbow trout. A huge oak tree provided a wooden swing where I spent a lot of time, observing Red Winged Blackbirds on the swamp cattails, or leaning back and seeing the Baltimore Orioles’ long nests above me.
Having two hundred acres to roam free letting my imagination run wild as I acted out scenes from books was such a treat. These are just a few of the many advantages I had as a child growing up in such a setting.

1. If I could drive I would. In the past I have stopped and never regretted it.
2. Definitely less mannerly. It’s unbelievable sometimes, the lack of common courtesy displayed in public.
3. Nothing. I have died twice in a hospital, and nothing. No white lights, demons, or angels.
4. At a Trump rally, wearing red hats, Nazi uniforms and peaked white sheets.
Gratitude: I am grateful every day just to be alive, see the sun, nature, and family. I admit the above answers seem a bit down for my usual attitude, but sleep has evaded me for a couple of months. I hope to remedy this in the next few weeks.
I add that being here in this community is a top shelf piece of gratitude. I appreciate all of you!
