Day 286

October 13, 2021

Grant writing, corn beef and sunsets

 

Once again backward photos, you get to experience my day in  reverse.

The foliage color and the sunset colors were at odds with each other tonight. There was that candy colored pink and pumpkin rich orange.  

It was a beautiful day.  I only got a short ride in.  I focused in on what to write my grant on and at least got the concept down before the computer crashed and my head started to pound.

I love having co workers to laugh with.

The gull and loon graze

on mollusk and barnacle

feeding their hearts.

 

I know you are

slipping towards them

spreading your wings.

 

Quietly leave earth.

Slide gracefully into heaven

hurting no more

I found that poem today written for a friend in 2009.  Spoke to me not because I am losing a friend, but because the veil feels so thin and those people so close.
