Hi friends–
sorry for the radio silence for four days–it was a WHIRLWIND trip to Yosemite, in which my husband and daughter and I had SO MUCH FUN, even as (in part because) things were, um, crazy, and include airport closures, leaving a phone on the plane, leaving Fresno at midnight to drive four hours through Yosemite over Tioga Pass in the dark to arrive at our hotel at 4 a.m., my daughter had food poisoning and was up all night sick, and returning to Fresno to wake up at 3:30 a.m. for our flight home … sooooooo you see why I wasn’t sending out poems!!!
But here they are …
and now we return to our regularly scheduled daily sending of poems!!
Hugs to you,
Rosemerry

after a four-hour delay
staring out the round window at stars—
forgetting what time is
Oh my! That is, eh, quite the adventure! I am glad you arrived safe and relatively sound. Had you been before? It is truly an incredible place to experience. Come back for a relaxing stay somday!
It was my first time–and oh wow, I was soooo amazed by Yosemite! Such beauty! the hikes I did were jaw dropping, heart opening, wonderful. Lovely people, too!
Was the phone retrieved, or on its way back? And how’s Vivian?
Welcome safely back home.
Stars have a way of bringing a person into now, causing time to be forgotten.
(I’m remembering, now, walking to La Cocina after an Arroyo Talking Gourds, Eric pointing out the haloed full moon.)
phone is back! Vivian is well! All the things that were difficult were set to right!!
I had not noticed your absence. I guess you have taught me to see what is around me and to read the daily poetry of life. It is easy to forget what time is. And yet, I notice with joy that you are here now with beautiful poems.
! Yes to the poetry of daily life!
