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.

Shadow

The shadow of you
fixing your lunch
and all the morning ritual
 
As it was reflected
on the sun dappled window
shifting with the breezes
as they tickle the leaves
 
That shadow looked just like squirrel
wiggling his spunky tail
and standing on tippy toe
on the top board of the fence
 
Until I noticed the striped shirt...
