Daily Note

Every day, a photograph, a poem. On my iPad, a daily picture pops up to surprise me. This lighthouse on the Washington coast shows a view below the climb to the light in the lighthouse. It’s a view that shows the apartments next door and hopes on the hills, a view that shows the earth has room for all of us. There is no need for war. So that idea became the start of a short poem because today is a busy day of cleaning up after a work crew.

Rise above the small
Earth supports us all.
