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.

Gourmet Chickens

They were all excited
clucking and rushing
Each new rock or stump
as we turned them over anew
---------------------------------------------
Scraps are a treat...
but bugs and worms...
Yum!
-------------------------------------------
In rubber galoshes
hoods cutting the mist
We fed the chickens
and hunted bugs
How could it get any better?
