Ordinary Life Remembered

Ordinary life is easy to overlook.

A loaf rising by the window.

A bird on a garden fence.

A bowl of noodles.

A hydrangea opening one blossom at a time.

These are small notes from a life being remembered.

Some arrive from the garden.
Some from the kitchen.
Some from Mira.
Some from the spaces in between.

🌿 Mira Notices

Today a lamb's quarter showed Mira its leaves.

The front was green.

The back was purple.

Mira thought this was a very good secret.

🍞 Bread

The bread was rising by the window.

No one was applauding.

The bread didn't seem to mind.

After the talking,

after the watering,

after the kale,

the stillness returned.

🌼 Dandelion

Mira suspected the dandelions were tiny suns.

The dandelions neither confirmed nor denied this.
