I Chased the Sun

After a nurturing

cloudy rainy rolling thunder high in the sky

kind of yesterday,

this morning I awoke

and chased the sun.

I found it

peering through

my bedroom window...

streaming past the dining room chair

onto the wall I call an easel...

catching the translucency

of the glass beaded bowl

that hold my vitamins

on the kitchen counter...

resting on the back of the piano...

that sparked the thought

to play some
Mindy Gledhill

because

sometimes
that's
what I do...

and then I decided

to venture outside...

where I used it's magic

to steep some wild berry tea I concocted

in a large
old
pickle jar...

until I noticed
the sun had found

a spot

to skip through the forest
straight towards
the fire pit...

given the optimal view

I indulged in a little

light reading about the

human brain...

when I discovered the

remnants from the overnight rain...

I realized it was
the perfect setting...

for this guy or gal

(who I shall call Walrus)

to cruise

along the pea gravel path...

at which point I knew

this was the perfect place
to create
and pull from my inspiring morning
of chasing the sun.

Prepare to dance!

In my recent quest to learn the piano I have discovered my brain strains. It takes intense focus for me to learn how to read music and transform the notes thru my brain and out my fingertips with the correct sounds and finger coordination. I never knew such a thing as "fingering" existed. After many many sets of practice sessions, it is quite rewarding when it all comes together. Just don't call me during the process, the setback is tenfold! I would love to bring as much joy as this man (click here) has brought to me thru music. Prepare to dance.
