how is it



house shoes
that
after 27 years 
I still pick up his little wadded up pile of socks?

that
pulling on my favorite jeans for the first time this week
DSC_0335
knowing that I'm heading off to
"sit and drink coffee for hours on end"
..."spiritual enrichment"...
with the women
will part with prayer
and feel encouraged for yet another week
can cause such pleasure?

that
a ginko with wet black bark
that I never noticed before
is suddenly glowing golden
out of its little bricked in courtyard?

that
a late afternoon phone number I don't recognize
and almost don't answer
holds an unexpected
and perhaps the last...
skype visit?!?!

that
an evening of friends and dinner
and lingering over the music
pure prairie league, amy
neil young, only love can break your heart
loggins and messina, pooh corner
carol king
fleetwood mac, the chain
is a perfect finish to another week
that
brings us closer to our family being together
....again
three more days
