But this morning, a kind day has descended, from nowhere,
and making coffee in the usual day, measuring grounds
with the wooden spoon, I remembered,
this is how things happen, cup by cup, familiar gesture
after gesture, what else can we know of safety
or of fruitfulness?

The comfort of the familiar – from making coffee, to inhaling the smells of the morning, hearing the quiet – the evolution of a perfect, gentle day. Good morning, pal

WMS, WMS! And for me these last couple of weeks, add the gentle sound of birdsong and a light breeze ruffling the palm fronds. Such a nice way to ease into one’s day….
