My hand in the river
of ice cold water
charges me even as the sun
weaves its warm and dreamy spell.
Cool pebbles bounce in the stream
and I am taken with them,
down, down, down,
and back up again.
Two smiles play on my lips—
contentment and mischief;
and I am sure that, today,
I don’t need more than this.

One year ago today I began this blog and to
commemorate I am reposting my very first post.
Thank you to all of you who have visited, read my work, and commented so
thoughtfully over this past year. It has
been my pleasure to have been able to cross paths with you and I am looking
forward to many more crossings!
Also, my heart goes out to the people
of Oklahoma suffering in the aftermath of yesterday’s devastating tornado. May recovery be quick. My thoughts and prayers are with you. ~ Jen
