So here are my three for today:
- My horoscope from last Wednesday, which was definitely appropriate for that day and is just as appropriate for today:
Your sensory awareness is turned up. The smell of the newspaper, the feel of a warm cup in your hand--it's an invitation to engage the world. It's like life itself is asking you to dance.
- Today's word of the day, courtesy of Dictionary.com:
prink \PRINGK\, transitive verb:
1. To dress up; to deck for show.
2. To dress or arrange oneself for show; to primp
- Dawn Revisted, (c) Rita Dove.
Imagine you wake up
with a second chance: The blue jay
hawks his pretty wares
and the oak still stands, spreading
glorious shade. If you don't look back,
the future never happens.
How good to rise in sunlight,
in the prodigal smell of biscuits-
eggs and sausage on the grill.
The whole sky is yours
to write on, blown open
to a blank page. Come on,
shake a leg! You'll never know
who's down there, frying those eggs,
if you don't get up and see.
