August augers well
Owen mimics his Mom; grabs her eyeglasses, and grins. He took 35 years to study this look!
Owen’s Bday: 8/27
Arthur’s Bday: 8/23
Parent’s Anniversary: 8/17
I knew when surgery was scheduled for 8/17 that it would be blessed by my ancestors.
August always brought new beginnings:
school openings, Fall, school assignments, family gatherings…
Today marks a new foot for me;
perhaps I will not “put it in my mouth”any time soon.
Perhaps it’s a discrete foot!
August’s fruit!

in Poetry, Red heads Tags: better, outlandish, paths paradoxical, psalm 119, Red heads, run to the path, set my heart free, singing louder, superb, sweeping commands
running is better when you’re a redhead
singing is louder when you’re a redhead
freckles more numerous
commands more sweeping
paths more paradoxical
more outlandish
superb!

Bill Gates looks like he’s getting younger; did he find the fountain of youth?
not fair?
accomplish something?
start small?
know a tough boss?
be humble?
no whining?
try delousing?
be a winner?
work 365 days?
go to job joyfully?
respect the nerds?
thank a teacher?

Choose modesty today.
Cantor in St Christopher’s
“God,do You want me to sing today?”
Answer: “Walk in grace.”
See last line of Joseph Stroud’s poem:
http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/index.php?date=2014/08/17
And so I prepare to sing at Communion.
Bring my virtual piano, my music arrangement.
Dress appropriately.
Arrive for choir practice.
Everything has been moved around.
No organ,
no accompaniment,
different seats,
choir facing the congregation,
prayers for Robin Williams,
sadness and grief….
I choke up.
Can’t breathe.
Can’t sing.
My walk in grace was not sound, but quiet.
“There is a time to sing, and a time to keep quiet.”

posted by Raven Howell
Raven works opaque (left)
but Richard Smythe is gifted at the smudge tool in watercolor (right)
the rabbit is watercolor, but not smudged.
digital smudges are happy accidents to celebrate!
they are indigenous to children’s art and lives!
(thank you for sharing, Raven)
