November continues to celebrate National Gratitude Month. I indulge into morning reading. Karen Eastlund's post for Spiritual Journey Thursday catches my attention with the addition of a Mary Oliver poem, Mindful. Gratitude flows throughout the poem.
A couple of Mary Oliver's lines
to lose myself
inside this soft world

daylight saving time
offers a slowing-down pace
evening peace flows

I pen a gratiku above and a golden shovel poem below.
each day becomes shorter for a to-
do list of endless tasks. I need to lose
"supposed musts" and find time for myself.

Sky shares its painted wonder.
A crescent moon shifts its glance -
Masterpiece of peace!

-Dodoitsu Poem-
After a long day of crossing off items on my to-do list, I once again fall asleep while writing. It's time to visit Two Writing Teachers to share my gratitude for Days 8 and 9. Good night moon!
