"Are you or a friend out of a job?

Historically, there are two basic ways humans have "made a living": 1) you make something, like knitting a cap; 2) you provide a service (like giving someone a haircut). Yes, there are others ways, like: you harvest something from "Nature" such as trees and fish, or cultivate fruit, vegetables, rice, cotton and other useful crops."

Chasing shadows across the prairie
Adjust the auto pilot
Calm waters, waving grasses
Tall into the wind

Pulling weeds in Sleepy Hollow when startled by a neighbor

Who are they kidding?

Unintended Consequences

After the rain
Water puddles
Mosquitoes thrive
Spray poison and
All succumb
Next year
Mosquitoes swarm

The space between sun light and shade

Is moving across the river bottom
Leaves and seeds are floating by
Water walking bugs are the masters here
Going where ever they wish

4:20am 6/4-post script

I'm on the beach
up close
the bonfire's brilliance
too hot.
gotta get some rest...
sunrise in one hour

at Sunset Woods

glimmering, shady light
interacting, the sound of songbirds
welcome back
