Most every work day for more than 11 years, Dena wrote a love note, poem or other thought, on a napkin - and tucked it in Marshal's lunch - a ritual of the heart. At the beginning of 2009, Marshal started typing them up. It became our practice to share the Daily Napkin with you, OUR ritual of the heart. Then, in October 2015, Marshal retired, so the whole dynamic changed. Dena took several months to re-evaluate and decide what she was going to do. Since she is also simplifying, she is in the process of incorporating all 8 (including this one) websites into one. With that in mind, the poetry of the napkin is now joined with her art and/or photography images. May you enjoy them. May they feed your spirit.

Crack the Door Open

There's no need, dear heart
to stomp and storm
Nor declare loudly
your willingness to listen
Simply crack the door open
--that is all that's necessary--
the light will flood through
Crack the door open
hear the symphony
in the silence
See the glorious light
throughout the dark
at 10:00 AM
