What stayed with me is how the poem makes even simply reaching morning feel meaningful. Coffee, birdsong, frogs, water—small things that don’t erase the struggle, but help us stay present long enough to find a little peace again.

To write words that stay with one who's words assuredly and regularly stay with me is another source of gratitude for me.

Ty! There are pickerel frogs now, new to Pondering Pool. The others, like Frank, Bashi, Bob, and Carol have all been slick, black or very dark green, but so deep they're basically black. These, there were two last night are strikingly different. A little water and So Much life!
