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.

Fox is Fox (Daily Napkin)

Fox crept up on hen house
hiding his brilliance
in shadows and stealth
 
Moving smoothly
with nary a squeak
or crack of a twig
 
Seeking only
a way into dinner
at the diner
 
To feed his own fur
and his family's
 
Fox is being the best fox he can
at 5:12 PM
