A Cold Autumn Day1

On a cold autumn day
when the wind chill factor
freezes the marrow
in your bones
warmth
is a bowl
of hot soup.

Gratitude List for 12 ‘Ilm

Today I am thankful ...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...for fresh brewed black coffee on this beautiful autumn morning.
          ...that I was able to completed The Bab, Gateway to the Age of Fulfillment   by Harvey Garver, which is Part 11 of What Comes After Nations?  .
          ...for the sugar cookie I have to go with my coffee.
