The first duty of love is to listen. – Paul Tillich
You aren’t just the age you are. You are all the ages you ever have been! – Kenneth Koch
Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare. – Harriet Martineau
The sky is filled with stars, invisible by day. – H.W. Longfellow

Above the Arctic Circle

A thousand stars
hide in the sunshine,
sparkling off waters, their brilliance
washed out by warming rays that will not set;
yet, they whisper
to the gathering that glistens:
in six months we'll still be twinkling;
when you are bored take time to look up and listen.

Ten. I was happy at ten.

1: already walking.
2: already talking.
3: tears and forgetting.
4: quickly forgotten.

40: fresh flowers to tend.
50: spent gardens; lost friends.
60: searching and traveling.
70: tomorrow now trashed.

Harriet reads labels

Oh... Sixty calories.
So, Do I dare?
Should I indulge—sport
a peppermint bulge.

Readers are plentiful;
are thinkers rare?
Yet, books seldom read,
opinions oft said.

Hmolscience

Protons, electrons
the forces of attraction
as spin separates each atom,
sorted to it's own world.

How order is scattered
as entropy diffuses
falling from great heights
like rain from dimmed lamps.
