ready to swing wide open
for any and all
kinds of kindness and love

First Strangers Then Friends
deep in the woods
these three strangers
offered shelter
Swing Time
with the morning sun
still kind
dew tickles toes
Quaker Ladies
they gather
in the meadow
sharing kindnesses

but shade
for Buddha
Elemental Kindness
gentle snow
softening the world’s
hard edges
Goodwill
tender pink
the wild bloom
benevolence of simplicity
Kind Provision
bird box
in the sunflower field
surety of place
The Picking Yard
flowers
pledged fidelity
to the kindness of the garden
Summer Home Solstice
in the kindness
of June’s gentle sun
babies feather and iris bloom
Magnolioideae
before the existence of bees
the magnificence of magnolias
relied on the kindness of beetles
Largess
the long shadow
of a small leaf
such is the way
of kindness
Labor of Love
There is a magic garden
where everyone is welcome
to come and take what they need
be it faith or flowers.
