Shipwrecks and the All Clear....

We spent a lot of time down by the river this afternoon........I had made a little boat with Flynn....a black bean pod ...a satay stick....blue tac and a really groovy dried up leaf. Jaiya made a little man to go inside of the boat.........what to say it was a disaster...the little man lost his head and drowned and the boat....well its living on the bottom of the river by now.
Flynn got the all clear from his lurgy....not so Jaiya quite yet though.

I am so behind tonite..I took so many pics and quite a few of them not bad...so been fiddling around with all of them...yikes!....still so many things to do and an early start tomorrow.


The Guest

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
As an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
