More than Water



The droplets fall
Each one a challenge
For this young face,
So fresh in the world

"I don't like water on my face,"
She said
With a tremble in her voice,
Trepidation turning to courage

(And it's not courage
If we're not afraid...)

Two brave pirouettes later
A new delight
A corner turned forever
Face bravely to the droplets

It's Time to Care About the Salmon


Special thanks to my BFF, Cassidy
and the magnificent Seattle Country Day School

On Thursday, we went to release
The baby salmon to the river
Hoping they will grow up
And go on their journey
To the ocean.
