today was the first
snowfall of
the year
winter
is officially
here
it is time to
pull out the warm
boots and jackets
it is time to
pull out the fresh
salt and shovels
soon the neighborhood
will be covered
in a blanket of fluffy
white snow
soon the neighborhood
will be covered
in bright
sparkling lights
so Santa Clause
will know exactly
where he needs to go
a.o.

it’s fascinating
how many people we
come across
who will disappear forever
but only
from us
the persons at the grocery store
gas station, ball game;
they have their own lives.
and for a small moment
we’re part of it.
we pass by strangers not knowing
if we’ll ever see them again.
be kind to those people.
we only have
a small moment with them
before they disappear from us
forever
a.o.
sitting by the fire
thinking about
what i want to do in life.
i have a career,
but i need something more
for myself.
something to enjoy. then
sitting here i realized i love
Solitude.
i love my fires
and my baseball games.
listening
by myself.
some people love big groups
and parties.
but not
me.
and that is okay.
