Just Another Day
Thursday, March 18th, 2010These are some of the things I have seen today.
From my back patio in a suburb of bustling Chicago.
A mother owl with her chick
The first flowers in my yard

A watchful mother 

Owl family in moonlight
I am filled with wonder that such beauty is available
right under my feet,
and up above my head.
And yet, I am only just here. Just home. Just now.
On just another spring day.
Let these stars and things give me pause
to recall there’s nothing trifling or banal…
about just another day.
