Fill Up

I filled my eyes today
With purple jacaranda and red bougainvillea
Against blue skies and white clouds,
Distant sage serration of hills,
Prams and running children and strolling parents,
Grandmas and baroque buildings
And the arching Moreton Fig Tree.

The colors soaked down
And satisfied my soul.

We reach for the sun from deep waters,
The fig tree and I.

Step Out

Use the Good Dishes

Life is short; use the good dishes.

Wear your best clothes. Ditch what isn't comfortable and flattering.

Do the smile test. If it makes you smile, keep it.
