Beginner Eyes | Yes I Think I Can

Fresh Moments

I want to let this day surprise me,
Unfolding sharply for me to see.
Not pre-shaped by word,
By something I’ve heard.
Be part; not being an absentee.

Noticing and Appreciating

When you’re on your bike and it’s springtime,
You’re riding amidst nature’s showtime.
New growth to be seen,
On hill and ravine.
Combining both peace time and “zing time.”

New Time, New Possibility

This year contains possibility,
Expansion of some capability.
Let your mind go free.
You’ll find you can be,
Happy with your changeability.

Wishing You Beginner Eyes

When I rush along without seeing,
When I rush about as though fleeing,
Some time-driven task,
I will stop and ask—
Can I slow, and take time for “being?”

New Year Mindset

As I am beginning this new year,
I have just one thought that is so clear.
The times I can share
With whomever’s there,
Are routes to connections that endear.

New Year 1949

When I was ten years old,
I dashed outside New Year’s morning,
Filled with wonder that we had a NEW time.
I shouted up to the sky,
“This time is new!
It’s called 1949!”

Weather Moods

How is weather affecting your mood?
Oh my, this warm week unlocked
Eager-to-be-outside joy!
I saw it everywhere I saw people.
Happy to be out, “doing.”
