We don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.
HOWARD ZINN
A New Day At Double Trouble
Soft morning light
filtered through
thin mist
as if Nature
choose to waken
gently into the
new day.
The frost shrouded
the brown grasses
in sparkling filigree
a morning
meditation of
praise for the
new day.
Two mallard
couples landed
gently, without
a sound
sending echoing
ripples of gratitude
for the gift of the
new day.
Be still too
my soul and
walk reverently
on the path
into this holy
new day.
