Month: February 2023

It’s midday Monday, and I can hear him snoring from downstairs.

When you’re aware, you listen more closely and set a marker for where you are.

Today he’s sleeping really soundly in the middle of the day. Like he is immediately after dinner with his plate and fork still in his lap.

Sleeping and listening to sleeping

And setting a marker: the last Monday in February. Midday.

Just a plan
isn’t just.

When you were low or spent, you could’ve used a plan
like this
or any.

Schemes aren’t just for Gen Z hotshots.
Dreams aren’t just for mini-adults.

Just a little scheming plan to lift your eyes
can power a big shift.

Look up.
Scheme up a tablespoon of hope.

Storming in
Swooping in
Falling in
Arriving at the gate of 60 looks different for everyone–
Like it does at gate 25.

Whether you plan to lower your shoulders or pick up your pace,
you deserve to experience a soft landing
for a moment or for 30 more years.

Land softly and praise your body, mind, spirit and best helpers.
From ease, you can chart your last third
clear-eyed.
