TUESDAY

Slipped out quietly before noon and dealt with several errands.  Copied exchequer pages at Kinkos, picked up sewing machine from repair shop, and dropped a bag o'clothes at Salvation Army.  Leofwyna was already up and gone when I got back home.  As it was raining again today... actually just a long and long drizzle... I didn't do any work outdoors.  Just cleaned up the kitchen, wrote checks to mail and did some clothing sorting in my own closet.  And finally lots of computating and weather channel watching of the flooding situation in the South.

When I was young
I gathered my experiences like bits of string
random cords of thin wisdom.
Loose and jumbled, they were beautiful
as chaos often is.
I did not value them.
Light as summer days lost,
some would fly away
on breezes of distraction.
Some I rolled between my fingers
until the fibers of the true moment frayed.
Others I treasured.
I tucked them safely away
into the box of my beginnings.
I knew some day I would need them.
I stashed away the frayed ones as well,
there is preciousness to a memory
soft and feathered by recollection.
