What I Have Learned in Fifty-Seven Years

1) When opening yogurt, hold carton away from you - it burps.
2) Moose are big animals.
3) Chocolate is my friend.
4) I am skilled at napping.
5) It's the heat AND the humidity.
6) What doesn't kill you, doesn't kill you.

I'm sure I've learned one or two other things but I can't think of them right now.

Looking for Little


Looking for Little
(at Denali National Park)

In the shadow
of the Great One
(not you, John)
I delight
in tiny drops
of color
scattered
and admire
the tenacity
and triumph
of alpine flowers.
