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.

Skipping It

“Skip it,” ladybug declared
as she rushed out of her nest
Heading out to be busy

Around 10 o’clock
she was really sorry
she had said that

And even sorrier
that she had indeed
“Skipped it”

Empty bravado
begets less
than it might seem
at 10:15 AM
