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.

Eternity of Gratitude

One foggy morning...
a stillness had overcome me
Not silence, for I could hear their breathing

I looked up and was surrounded
an honoring, a peaceful moment

One small eternity of gratitude
welling in my heart

Then, a noisy neighbor
startled deer into flight
at 9:01 PM
