A Candle        
A candle burns
Like the passion in my heart
A candle burns 
Like the sun on climate change day

A candle melts
Like the frosting down the side of cake
A candle melts
Like the snow on mountain caps

A candle shines
Like the flashlight in a cave
A candle shines
Like the eternal light in my soul

Animals in the Park
Great blue heron nesting in tree on island
Duck floating alongside boat 
Squirrel flying from tree to tree
Coyote protecting newborn in den
Racoon rummaging through garbage can

Game Parties             
Fans
Just want to have fun
Players 
Just want to win the game
Vendors
Just want to make money
Ushers 
Just want to see the game

Security 
Just want to protect the players
Trainers 
Just want to heal the players
Coaches
Just want to mentor the players
Owners
Just want to trade the players

Whirlwind Relaxation

Busied morning
Rushed day
High production

Scarfing down lunch
Rehydrating with water
High satisfaction

Eyes closed quiet time
Lotus position prayer time
High spiritualization
