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.

Up and Down

Up....
Sky infused brilliant
softly piercing regal clouds
marching dynamically
 
rainbows, double rainbows
moon on the horizon
 
Down...
Crystalline ice castles sparkle
rich soil prepares for Spring
crackling underfoot
 
Up...
happy, loving, blessed, faithful
 
Down...
sad, angry, fearful, doubting
 
Me...
Travelling like a spaceship
amongst it all
