Little dots of snow sitting on the upside down patio chairs, stacked against the wall of windows I am staring out, leads me to these thoughts.

Talking to You…Little Moments 10/24/25

Quiet, Light, and Stars I sat today, in the quiet The sun was dappled across my body A pillow on top of my lap Rays lighting up tiny particles floating around me Two kids home from school Breakfast and back up to their respective spaces It’s quiet As the particles passed my face at the … Continue reading Talking to You…Little Moments 10/24/25 →
