Tabula Plena
Start with a blank slate
and there’s nothing to build on.
It’s better to choose.
Choose sun warmed berries,
the songs of running water,
and moonlight shadows,
The warmth of the sun,
the way aspen leaves flutter,
and wild violets.
Fill your slate and find
there’s always room for beauty,
always room for joy.
