No rain in eight months,
now deluge, came home
to water main shut off
because forgot to pay bills
but with this pair of ducks
paddling away in a pond
that yesterday was bone dry.

Ironically
Given temp 71
Today, it’s
Much of Calif
That gives
Students week
Off ‘round
Presidents’ Day

(Sadly our
Longest living
Just entered
Hospice which
I presume is
For metastatic
Melanoma
Including brain
He’s fought 
Off so valiantly
From 2015
Choosing to pass
In Plains GA
Modest place he’s
Called home
Since at least 1961)

Thus allowing 
My grandchildren
To go to hills
To frolic and ski 
Or snowboard.

Pair Of S[h]itting Ducks?

In the years since I made
This life change, my own
Well-being’s risen a lot.

People notice & remark
I smile more & look like
Having more fun at work.

--riffing A. Lane, New Yorker 23Oct23
from A.C. Brooks/O. Winfrey’s Build
Life You Want: Art and Science
 
Now howz ‘bout us quacking
Fundamental macronutrients 
Gerardo’s Happiness

Oh let us just say for sake
Of y/ our argument that
They veyizmir comprise

Oy Enjoyment Satisfaction
Purpose that are reflected 
In wise-person jolliness 

For starters The Dalai Lama
Or RIP Thích Nhất Hạnh’s
Such infectious grins!

On another hand (or flipper)
Folk often paddle hard with
No answer---contradictions

As we just need to manage 
Relationship paradoxes…
