Creative Notes
A quiet and grey morning here. I am listening to Peace in the Puzzle, solo harp instrumentals, by Amy Shreve, and praying the Psalms.
The Fall 2018 Time Of Singing (TOS) arrived recently. Lora Homan Zill is Editor. She suggests that if we are looking for Christmas gift ideas, a subscription to TOS is an idea to consider.

clouds and yet
enough light
to fill a jam jar

Winter In October
WINTER IN OCTOBER
For Paul F. Brandt
Another death
a sudden death
this autumn of
winter in October.
Condolences pour in
your service strengthens
and your body is laid to rest
in beloved Wisconsin land.
Now the grief begins
and how else could it be?
Surely a few people
will remain with us
in our loving sorrow
like the golden leaves
left on the tree
outside my window
that will turn green again . . .

POEM
a small card
in a devotional book
from a thrift store
words of encouragement
from one person to another
I keep the card with the book
and its history today
and tomorrow

October 2018 begins with rain and wind. A good day for blogs and books.
