this day will proceed
as a climb under belay;
take breaks as neccessary,
focusing alternately
on learning and on relaxation:
the stars decree that little
will be accomplished today
but much may be gained.
weather forecast:
the crunch of last night's snow
will set the scene for the crunch
of still-warm shortbread spreading
into a skew of afternoon sun
to lay in.
today's cycle:
balance
lean
step
breathe,
