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.

New Tune

Intricate patterns
precise with color
scattered in
the same fashion
 
As chromosomes
or pinecones
willy nilly and exacting
 
•  •  •
Just as metal shavings
will dance in particular formation
to the tones of the celestial choir
 
So do the fibers of my life
align in a choreographed jig
to the vocal tones of my thoughts
 
Time to play a new tune!
