Last week was busy but delightfully so (except for long, exhausting shifts at work but they come with their own reward. Lol). Monday started with a day spent in the States with Dane. It rained a little and was chilly while we were at Grand Marais but we had the most delicious fish chowder at the Angry Trout and a lovely view. And just time together. On Tuesday I was in Random Acts of Poetry with four other poets. Our last stop was the university radio which is in a small building with four stone steps leading to the door. After reading our poems on air, we filed out of the building. On the ground, at the bottom of the steps, lay a plucked wild rose. I pointed to it but didn't pick it up. Back in the truck, while waiting for the other poets to catch up, I wished I had. Instead Holly had. When she brought it into the truck, we talked about it. She remarked on its fragrance and i remarked how I'd seen it and took it as a thank you for sharing our words with the world and that i already had a poem in mind about it. "Oh, then you should have it!" she said and passed the rose to me. I kept it all week and I have the following picture of it as my cellphone wallpaper now. And I have a poem swirling around in my mind. On today, our Canadian Thanksgiving, may you recognise and receive many blessings from the universe.
