Life is change, seen daily as new plants emerge in the spring or later, when colorful leaves fall from the trees. The seasons change, and so do we. We experience life in all of its varied forms, and we grow, becoming more well-rounded people as we do.But there is consistency, too. The stars are always there. The moon, the sun, even knowing that the seasons will change, all add a dependability and reliability to life that is both known and counted on; a sense of comfort and security.There is immense joy that can be found in living day to day in this life: watching the night sky and appreciating the thousands upon thousands of stars that can be seen. Planets, too, not to mention the aurora borealis. They bring to mind a deeper meaning, one that includes not only the wide universe but also what can be observed nearby and all around us.A walk outdoors, whether a forest path, a parkland hiking trail, a neighborhood street, can put one in touch with the natural world: a fresh daylily emerging to the light of spring, a blazing sunset, mellow moonlight, the call of sandhill cranes, the special look from a loved one, a child's laughter, and the precious time spent with a friend. Life is all around us. I'm not only glad for that but grateful.The poems in this collection reflect my belief that appreciating life in all its forms reflects what it means to be truly human. I hope you read them and take a moment to think about each one. Most importantly, I hope that you enjoy them.
