For New Readers

the short pieces you will see in my blog are part of an effort by my friends throughout the poetic world to express ourselves daily, using 17 syllables...not necessarily Haiku, but sometimes it turns out that way...we also write 14 Words for Love, daily, between 2/1 and 2/14...and, rather than write New Year’s resolutions, we pick a word which expresses hoe and who we wish to be in the coming year...my first one was Gratitude, last year’s was Generosity, this year’s is Compassion...I was going to be cute and keep the “G”thing going, with Grace, but I know that I am always living in Grace, and the world really could stand some more Compassion right now
