Day 69: Empty Word
Thinking today on communication again, on words and writing and the ideas and concepts that give them meaning. Didn’t intend to go into labels with this poem, but it sort of sprang up. It seems to me a natural consequence of what happens when we embrace symbols while abandoning their meaning.

Day 68: Stork and Branch
Saw this today and thought of hope.

Day 67: Naked Puppy
Puppy got his heavy fur coat shaved today. I swear it took off about 20lbs. It’s easy to forget just how fluffy he is until we shave him down. At least he won’t have to suffer the heat, even if the poor boy looks ridiculous.

Day 66: Fun Stories
Didn’t start writing at my usual time today and it’s throwing me off. Here’s hoping that shifting gears to poetry will squeeze out some creative juice.

Day 65: Food Poisoning
Figures. I write about the wonder of food, go home, and experience my first ever bout of food poisoning. Here’s to new experiences. May some never repeat.

Day 64: Taste is a Song With No Words
Had a piece of key lime pie today. Got me thinking about the power and unity of taste. The ingredients we bring together from all around the world to make a meal and the way we all come together for a meal…just food for thought.

Day 63: Sick as a Dog
Whatever bug I had seems o have jumped ship and got my puppy. Poor thing has the WORST gas and needs a ton of attention.

Day 62: Untitled
Taking a day or rest. The last week or so has been crazy. Glad to dial it down a bit today and in doing so I solved several creative issues I was having. Funny how that works.
No title for this piece yet. I’m open to suggestions.
