From "Dog Songs" by Mary Oliver.

EVERY DOG'S STORY

I have a bed, my very own.
It's just my size.
And sometimes I like to sleep alone
with dreams inside my eyes.

But sometimes dreams are dark and wild and creepy
and I wake and am afraid, though I don't know why.
But I'm no longer sleepy
and too slowly the hours go by.

So I climb on the bed where the light of the moon
is shining in you face
and I know it will be morning soon.

Everybody needs a safe place.

~ Mary Oliver, 1935 -

Been Thinking Kurta

Today's Sermon

IT IS ENOUGH

To know that the atoms

of my body

will remain

to think of them rising

through the roots of a great oak

to live in

leaves, branches, twigs

perhaps to feed the

crimson peony

the blue iris

the broccoli

or rest on water

freeze and thaw

with the seasons

some atoms might become a

bit of fluff on the wing

of a chickadee

to feel the breeze

know the support of air

and some might drift

up and up into space

star dust returning from

whence it came

it is wrought to know that

as long as there is a universe

I am a part of it.

~ Anne Alexander Bingham, 1931 - 2012

Winter Down On Sligo Creek

Ludwig Deutsch 1855 - 1935

Stumbling across the work of the Austrian Orientalist painter no doubt contributed to yesterdays foray into Moroccan cuisine.

Moroccan Night!

 I substituted chicken thighs for the lamb (cut down the simmer time from 90 minutes to 30), and without any Za'artar, I used a little Oregano.
